Appendix B: Transmitter Installation
• In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector's sensing chamber, to make it overly
sensitive.
• Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector from sensing
smoke.
• Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans. Fresh air vents and drafts can
drive smoke away from smoke detectors.
• Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners between ceilings and walls. Dead air
may prevent smoke from reaching a detector.
• In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector's sensing chamber, they may cause a false alarm. Where
bugs are a problem, get rid of them before putting up a detector.
• Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights may cause false alarms. Install smoke
detectors at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from such lights.
Figure B- 28: Recommended Smoke Detector Locations
The smoke detector is to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall, if necessary. Since the smoke detector is a single-
station type, it cannot be linked to other detectors.
Do not connect the smoke detectors to any other alarm or auxiliary device. Connecting
anything else to this detector will prevent it from working properly.
Read the "Where to Install Your Smoke Detector" and "Where Not to Install Your Smoke Detectors" sections in this
Manual before installing. To install the detector, perform the following steps.
Registration Procedure
The EL-4703 must identify itself to the EL wireless system receivers as follows:
1. Set the system to registration mode.
• Go to the main menu and select [9]>[1]>[1] (Programming > Devices > Zones)
• Select a zone and press '√ʹ.
2. Open the detector housing.
3. Insert the batteries into compartment. The detector will send a transmission. If the transmission is successfully
received by the system it will play a confirmation sound. If no confirmation sound is heard send another
transmission by pressing and releasing the tamper switch of the device.
Due to the occurrence of voltage delay in lithium batteries that have been in storage, the
batteries may initially appear to be dead. In this case, leave the unit in Test mode for a few
minutes until the battery voltage level is stabilized.
4. As soon as 'Save?' appears, press '√ʹ
Installation Procedure
1. Select the installation location.
2. Remove locking pin securing the mounting bracket to the unit.
3. Remove the mounting bracket from the unit by rotating it counterclockwise.
