Description
The ESL supervised smoke alarms are self-diagnostic Learn Mode
wireless sensors with 319.5 MHz transmitters that use photoelectric
technology with a self contained sounder, a low battery annunciator,
status LED, and integrated fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat
sensor. Each unit has a base tamper switch, is part of a residential
security/fire alarm system, and communicates with the system control
panel.

Programming
This section describes the basic steps for programming (learning) the
unit into panel memory. For complete programming instructions, refer
to the specific panel installation instructions.
1. Separate the unit from the mounting base by turning the unit
counter clockwise about 15 degrees.
2. Slide the battery cover away from the unit to unsnap it and lift it
off. See Figure 2.
3. Observing polarity, insert the 2 lithium batteries (included) into the
battery compartment and replace the battery cover.
4. Attach the unit to the mounting base by lining up the alignment tab
(see Figure 3) on the unit with the alignment arrow on the mounting
base, then put the unit on the base and turn it clockwise about 15
degrees. The unit should snap into place.
5. Put the panel into installer programming mode (refer to your panel
installation instructions) and proceed to learning/enrolling sensors.
6. When prompted by the panel to learn/enroll the sensor, trip the
tamper by separating the unit from the mounting base. See Step 1.
7. Attach the unit to the mounting base. See Step 4.
8. Exit from installer programming mode.
Verify Programming and Unit-to-Panel
RF Communication
Before mounting, verify that the desired unit location provides good RF
communication to the panel.
1. Put the panel into Dealer Sensor Test mode (refer to the specific
panel installation instructions).
2. Take the unit to the desired mounting location.
3. Press and hold the unit Test/Silence button for 4 seconds. The unit
transmits a test signal.

4. Listen for the appropriate response from system sirens to determine
signal integrity from the unit to the panel (refer to the specific panel
installation instructions).
5. Exit from Dealer Sensor Test mode.
Mounting
Mounting hardware is included (screws and anchors), however you may
need different hardware depending on the installation.
1. Separate the unit from the mounting base. See Programming Step 1.
2. Place the mounting base on the mounting surface at the desired
location and mark the mounting holes using a pencil.
3. Secure the mounting base to the surface.
4. Attach the unit to the mounting base. See Programming Step 4.
Sensor Test
The system and sensor test verifies good communication between the unit
and receiver/panel. The sensor test should be performed weekly.
1. Put the panel into Sensor Test mode (refer to the specific panel
installation instructions).
2. Press and hold the Test/Silence button for 4 seconds. The unit
transmits a test signal.*
*Holding the Test/Silence button for 20 seconds will cause the unit to
send a signal through to a central station.
3. Listen for the appropriate response from system sirens (refer to the
specific panel installation instructions).
4. After testing all units, exit from Sensor Test mode.
Smoke Test
The smoke test verifies that the unit activates when detecting smoke, that
the transmitted signal is received by the receiver/panel, and that the panel
reports the alarm to the central monitoring station. The smoke test
should be performed annually.
1. Contact the central monitoring station to alert them you are testing
the system and they should not dispatch authorities.
2. Activate the unit using one of the following two methods:
Method 1 Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the unit and
direct the smoke into the smoke entry openings for about 20 seconds.
Method 2 Use Smoke! in a can
Once activated, the transmitter LED turns on, the built-in sounder
emits a temporal 3 pattern, and the unit transmits an alarm signal. The
panel then processes the alarm signal and reports the alarm condition
to the central station.
