Smoke Sensors
Installation Instructions
Product Summary
The ESL/ITI Wireless Smoke Sensors (smoke alarms) are
™
Learn Mode , supervised wireless, battery powered
photoelectric smoke sensors. The sensors include a built-in
sounder for alarm alerts, a visual status LED (light-emitting
diode), and an ITI crystal transmitter. The sensors work as
part of a security/fire alarm system and communicate with
the system control panel.
Under normal (non-alarm) conditions, the LED flashes once
every 9 seconds while the sensors monitor the surrounding
conditions. The sensors transmit a supervisory signal every
64 minutes that identifies their status, which the panel
processes accordingly.
When the sensors detect a smoke or fire condition, the LED
changes from flashing to on and the built-in sounder
produces a loud temporal beeping pattern. The sensors also
transmit an alarm signal, which the panel receives and
processes accordingly.
Each smoke sensor uses two 3-volt lithium batteries, which
are included.
The smoke sensors also provide the following features:
GCleanMe
™ self-diagnostics monitor sensor sensitivity
and operational status (see the "Testing" section).
GSensor tamper switch that triggers a tamper signal
transmission when the sensor is removed from its
mounting base.
G Fixed 135°F temperature/rate of rise heat detector
(model 60-849-95 only) trips an alarm based on
temperature detected or rapidly rising temperature rate
(15° F per minute).
G Replaceable optical chamber for easy maintenance
when required (see "Maintaining the System").
Installation Guidelines
Avoid installing the unit until all construction is completed.
The mounting base may be pre-installed.
Note
The dust cover must be removed for the unit to
detect smoke.

CAUTION
These smoke sensors are not compatible with
CareTaker Plus and custom version panels with
software versions 3.0 and earlier, or with
Commander 2000 and custom version panels with
software 4.0 and earlier.
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, Chapter 8.
GNFPA 72, 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, smoke alarms/
detectors are 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 should be
located as shown in Figure 1.

In family living units with more than one bedroom area
or with bedrooms on more than one floor, more than
one smoke alarm/detector is required, as shown in
