Smoke Alarm/Detector
56X - UL 217 Smoke Alarm Series
57X - UL 268 Smoke Detector Series
Installation Instructions
Description
The ESL smoke alarm/detector is a Learn Mode, wireless
sensor that uses photoelectric technology with a self
contained alarm siren, a low battery annunciator, and a
status LED. The smoke alarm/detector is part of a security/
fire alarm system and communicates with the system
control panel.
Depending on the model, the smoke alarm/detector
provides the following features:
Self-diagnostics. The ESL Universal Series smokes monitor
their own sensitivity and operational status. If the smoke
alarm/detector drifts out of the UL listed sensitivity range
or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes its LED and
sends a trouble signal to the control panel.
Base tamper switch sends a trouble signal transmission to
the control panel when the smoke alarm/detector is
removed from its mounting base.
Integrated fixed 135°F temperature and rate of rise heat
detector trips an alarm based on high temperature detected
or rapidly rising temperature rate (15° minimum) (models
562STU and 572STU only).
Transmitted Signal Outputs
Depending on the model, the smoke alarm/detector
transmits the following signals to the control panel:
• Alarm
• Alarm restore
• T amper
• Low battery
• Trouble signal
• Supervisory

Selecting a Location
Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of
smoke alarms/detectors. This equipment should be
installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure 2.
A-8-1.2.1.a Where to Locate the Required Smoke
Alarms/Detectors in Existing Construction.
The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at
night when everyone is asleep. The principal threat to
persons in sleeping areas comes from fires in the
remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm/
detector(s) is best located between the bedroom areas
and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom
area on one floor, the smoke alarm/detector(s) should be
located as shown in Figure 2 A.
In family living units with more than one bedroom area or
with more than one floor, more than one smoke alarm/
detector is required, as shown in Figure 2 B.
In addition to smoke alarms/detectors outside of the
sleeping areas, the installation of a smoke alarm/detector
on each additional story of the family living unit,
including the basement, is required. These installations
are shown in Figure 2 C. The living area smoke alarm/
detector should be installed in the living room or near
the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. The
basement smoke alarm/detector should be installed in
close proximity to the stairway leading to the floor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the
alarm/detector should be placed on the bottom of the
joists. The detector should be positioned relative to the
stairway to intercept smoke coming from a fire in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.

A-8-1.2.1.c Are More Smoke Alarms/Detectors Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms/detectors might not
provide reliable early warning protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke alarms/detectors. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms/detectors for those areas for
increased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility
room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke
alarms/detectors. The installation of smoke alarms/detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages
is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper
operation.

In addition to NFP A 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of
false alarms from the alarm/detector:
• Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms/detectors in the
center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any
walls or partitions.
• Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms/detectors so the top
of the alarms/detector is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling.
• Locate in a suitable environment as follows:
- T emperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C)
- Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing
• Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers and
any other ventilation source that may interfere with
smoke entering the alarm/detector.
• Mount smoke alarms/detectors on a firm permanent
surface, typically a stud or metal runner.
• Locate away from large metallic objects.
A-8-1.2.1.b Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms/
Detectors in New Construction.
All of the smoke alarms/detectors specified in A-8-1.2.1.a for
existing construction are required and, in addition, a smoke
alarm/detector is required in each bedroom.

Understanding the LED
The LED on the ESl Universal W ireless Series indicates the
status of the alarm/detector as follows:
FLASHING = Flashes every 9 seconds to indicate normal
operation.
ON = Detects smoke, sending an alarm.
OFF = Trouble. Maintenance is required. Check the control
panel to determine what action to take. If the unit has a
hardware fault, it will stop reporting supervision signals to
the panel.
After the flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all
other tests pass, the smoke alarm/detector goes into
alarm and sends a test signal to the panel, then resets after
5 seconds.
If the sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable
hardware fault is detected, the LED extinguishes until the
alarm/detector is serviced and the built-in transmitter sends
a trouble signal to the control panel.

Fire Prevention and Escape
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm/detector is to
detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an
alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely.
A void Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially
dangerous situations as follows:
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Do not leave children home alone.
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping
techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered
basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to fire.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not
overload electrical outlets
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in
your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can
start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire, you should do the following:
• Leave immediately. Don’ t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if
necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel
the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If
they seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of
the door with your hip against the door and one hand
against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air
is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire
tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all
members of the household realize and understand this
danger.
• Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to
call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire
should be left to the professionals.
Be Prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family
in the event of a fire:
• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal.
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It
is important that children be instructed carefully, because
they tend to hide in times of crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist
that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will
eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the house
for a missing member who is actually safe.
• If you have children and/or physically challenged
people residing in your household, use window decals
to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping
quarters of these individuals.

Warning! Limitations of Smoke
Alarms/Detectors
Wireless smoke alarms/detectors are very reliable, but may
not work under all conditions. No fire alarm/detector
provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms/
detectors are not a substitute for life insurance.
Smoke alarms/detectors require a source of power to
work.
This smoke alarm/detector will not operate and the alarm will
not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly .
Unreliable transmission or receiving of radio frequency
(RF) signals may occur if the system is not installed,
located, serviced and repaired pr operly.
RF signals sent by this alarm/detector may be blocked or
reflected by metal objects. Adjacent devices or systems
using radio frequency signals may interfere with the
operation of this alarm/detector. Test the system often to be
sure that signals are being sent and received properly.
Smoke alarms/detectors may not be heard. A sound
sleeper or someone who has taken drugs or alcohol may not
may not awaken if the alarm/detector is installed outside a
bedroom. Closed or partially closed doors and distance can
block sound. This alarm/detector is not designed for the
hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms/detectors may not always activate and
provide warning early enough. Smoke alarms/detectors only
activate when enough smoke reaches the detector. If a fire
starts in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed
doors, or on a different level of the property enough smoke
may not reach the detector for it to alarm.
WARNING
Smoke alarms/detectors CANNOT provide
warnings for fires resulting from explosions,
smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of
flammable liquids, vapors and gases, children
playing with matches or lighters.
