Installation Instructions
1. Choose a mounting location in the control panel within reach of 
the leads provided. Use 50/50 water to isopropyl alcohol to 
clean the mounting surface. After the surface has dried, remove 
protective covering from the tape. Mount unit as shown on 
control panel illustration. Route wires to the appropriate 
terminals as noted below.
2. Connect 405-05 trigger wires to the fire alarm output terminals. 
Observe polarity. [Gray wire to positive (+) and White wire to 
negative (-)].
3. Connect 405-05 incoming power wires to the smoke detector 
power source. [White-Red to (+) and White-Black to (-)].
4. Connect 405-05 outgoing power wires to the smoke detector 
power in terminals. [Red to (+) and Black to (-)].
5. Connect the smoke detector initiating circuit (alarm loop) to the 
alarm control.
6. Maintenance: no maintenance is required.
Warning
This polarity reversal device may not be compatible with all 
power supervision relays. When using ESL 405 Series 
polarity reversal relays on four wire circuits, use the ESL 
204 Series power supervision relay at the end of line. Note: 
Another option is to use an ESL 449CTE (or CSTE with 
Sounder) which incorporates an End-of-Line/Sensitivity 
Status Relay Output.
Testing: 405-05
1. Test in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 Test Methods & 
Frequencies, interfacing equipment.
2. To test the 405-05 initiate an alarm with smoke or approved 
test method on any detector connected to the control panel 
via the 405 relay. In alarm, detectors that have responded to 
smoke or test will sound in their distinct alarm patterns.
3. Reset the smoke detectors by removing power to the 
detectors.
Note: For two wire smoke detectors, use the ESL 405-01 or
   405-03 polarity reversal relay module.
Typical 405-05 Mounting Locations 
 in the Control Panel
This polarity reversal device cannot be connected to any 
coded annunciator.

 .
Installation Instructions
1. Connect 405-06 trip wires to trigger circuit. Observe 
polarity. [Gray to positive (+) and White to negative (-)].
2. Connect the 405-06 DPDT relay contacts as required. 
The first set of contacts are:
common red
closed white-red
open white-blue
3. The second set of contacts are:
common black
closed white-black
open blue
4. When fail safe operation is required, wire the relay in the 
powered or energized condition.
5. Do not exceed rating of relay.
6. Testing: 405-06
Test unit in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 Test 
Methods and Frequencies, interface equipment.
 To test the 405-06, energize the relay coil and confirm the 
contacts tranfer.
