System Overview

The ESL 1500 Series Control Panels are designed to provide

reliable and economical fire alarm control solutions for commer-

cial, industrial, residential, and institutional applications. The 1500

Series consists of three base models, equipped with one (Model

1501), three (1503), or five (1505) zones. The unique modular

design makes it easy and practical to add features such as extra

relays, remote annunciators or added fire zones (up to 5).

All models come equipped with a Basic Master Board (BMB),

which provides all common system functions for alarm, fault, and

supervisory monitoring, together with one initiating and two

indicating circuits. Models 1503 and 1505 also include Zone

Expander Modules (ZEM), expanding the systems capability from

three zones up to a maximum of five zones.

One housing is common to all three system configurations. The

cabinet holds all standard and optional modules as well as

necessary standby batteries for either 24 or 60 hour protection.

Combine the versatile 1500 Series with the complete line of

compatible ESL smoke detectors, pull stations, and indicating

devices for a reliable fire control system. See Appendix A for a list

of UL Listed compatible devices.

ESL 1500 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel

Installing the Panel

To install the unit, follow these 12 steps, and refer to the proper

sections for more information.

1. Create System Diagram: Prepare a carefully laid out

drawing of the complete wiring system hookup. Maintain this

drawing as a permanent record of the systemapplication and

include any future modifications.

Note

“As-built” drawings and this manual should be available at all

times to verify agreement between the connected equipment

and the drawings.

2. Inspect Equipment: Carefully unpack the system compo-

nents and inspect for shipping damage. Report any shipping

damage to place of purchase.

3. Mount Cabinet: Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration

free area, where the temperature range does not exceed 0°

to 49° C (32° to 120° F). Mount only in interior locations.

Allow adequate space for 180 degree door swing and free

access to sides for conduit entry. Locate the top of the cabinet

approximately six feet (1.8m) above the floor, with the hinge

mounting on the left. Mounting holes in the back of the

cabinet are designed so the cabinet can be mounted without

removing any control equipment. Mount the cabinet to the

wall by first installing the top center mounting screw, leaving

enough space so the cabinet can be hooked over the screw

head. Use screws or bolts no smaller than #10 or 3/16 inches

in diameter. For easier access, remove the door by gently

lifting it from the hinges.

4. Connect Conduit: Complete all connections to the cabinet

with conduit fittings or bushings. Use the knockouts

provided in the sides of the cabinet.

5. Pull Wire: Pull all system wiring through installed conduit

following the guidelines of Article 760 of the National

Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and/or local codes for fire alarm

systems. Observe power limiting codes when running wire.

See Installation Recommendations/Precautions for more

information.

6. Program Components: Before wiring, examine installation

of all modules, chassis and sub-assemblies to ensure proper

mechanical and electrical connections and programming

switches have been selected. See Programming for options.

7. Connect AC: Connect line voltage to transformer leads

located under the BMB. Transformer wires are long enough

so you do not need to remove the circuit board.

8. Connect Batteries: Determine the total system power

requirements by using the Standby Battery Power Worksheet

in Appendix B.

9. System Check: Make certain the 1500 panel is operating

properly before connecting field wiring by performing a

system check. ESL makes this easy by factory installing end-

of-line resistors to the proper Class B zone terminals. To test

the panel, make sure all switches are in their normal position

and power the system by connecting AC and then the

batteries. (Note: if new batteries with low terminal voltage are

used, the Low/No Battery LED may activate. The Low

Battery indicator will deactivate after the batteries are fully

charged - no longer than 48 hours.) No fault indications

should be present. If faults are present, see Table 6. Trouble-

shooting Guide. System check is now complete.

10. Check Field Wiring: Check the integrity of all field wiring

following directions defined in the Field Wiring Checkout

Procedures.This check must be performed before connecting

wiring to the system. Be certain all external wiring is correct

(no opens, shorts, or grounds) and is terminated with the

correct end-of-line devices.

11. Connect Field Wiring: Connect each circuit in turn,

following wiring diagrams provided. Do not make all

connections at once. This procedure will let you bring your

system on-line in stages and quickly identify which portion of

your system is not working.

Note

NFPA 72, Chapter 7 - Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance

should serve as the guideline for all system tests.

12. Test System: Apply power and perform operational tests as

outlined under Testing and System Checkout.

Caution

Read and understand all instructions before beginning

installation. System reliability depends upon proper

installation, testing, and maintenance. Review all national

and local codes before attempting installation. Refer to

National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) for proper location,

mounting, etc. of smoke detectors, heat detectors, and

other alarm initiating devices. Call Technical Support at

800.648.7424 if you have installation questions.

Control Switches

System Reset

Resets control unit, provided the alarm condition has been cleared.

Also interrupts power to the alarm initiating circuits of all zones

and to the auxiliary power output. The integral sounder will

activate when the System Reset switch is activated.

Sounder Silence

Activating the switch during a trouble condition will silence the

integral sounder. When all system faults are cleared, a “ringback”

feature will resound the integral sounder to indicate that the switch

is in the silence position. Fault LEDs will remain active until all

faults have been corrected.

Zone Disconnect/Walktest

A three position switch provides for normal, test, and disable

functions for each zone. Under standard conditions, no LEDs will

light when the switch is in the “normal” position.

Note

For maintenance use only! Notify your local fire department

and receiving station before operating switch.

Zone Disconnect disables the alarm indicating devices so that

service may be performed without sounding an alarm. When a

zone is disabled, zone and system trouble LEDs will light and the

integral trouble sounder will activate. An alarm received from any

zone that has not been disabled will activate the indicating devices

as normal. The zone disconnect switch is defeated when a zone has

been programmed for waterflow service. See BMB Programming.

Walktest makes it possible for one service person to functionally

test initiating devices without having to constantly return to reset

the control panel. When activiated, the walktest feature sounds the

indicating devices for approximately two seconds and then resets

the system. Only an alarm from the zone with the walktest

activated will reset the system; all other zones will function

normally. To silence the indicating devices during the walktest

mode, see BMB Programming.

Table 2. Status Indicators

Optional Remote Notification Disconnect

Applies to LEM optional module. Disconnects system from remote

sites. When activated, the trip circuit fault LED and system fault

condition will exist and remain until the switch is returned to the

normal position.

Note

Notify the local fire department and the receiving station

before disconnecting the LEM from the system.

Indicator Normal Color Description

AC Power On Green Indicates main power is

operating from AC power

source. If LED not

activated, service

immediately.

System Off Yellow Indicates fault or

Trouble abnormal condition. May

indicate system is

inoperable; service

immediately.

Zone Alarm Off Red Indicates when an alarm

(by zone) condition is detected by

its zone.

Normal Condition

Under normal operating conditions only the green “AC POWER”

LED should be on (no alarm or faults). All control switches must

be in their normal, standby position.

Alarm Condition

An alarm can be initiated by means of a smoke detector, heat

detector, manual alarm station, waterflow alarm device, or other

UL Listed initiating device. The red zone alarm LED will light and

the integral sounder will provide a continuous, steady audible

signal. Both alarm indicating circuits will activate and sound a

general alarm. A set of dry, Form C supplementary common alarm

contacts will transfer and remain latched until the system RESET

switch is operated. When used, the supervised zone alarm output

will energize. If provided, the remote communicator circuit will

activate to summon organized assistance.

Alarm Verification

When activated, alarm verification is very effective in reducing

nuisance alarms. Nuisance alarms are reduced by requiring 2

separate alarm signals to activate the system alarm, thereby

verifying the initial alarm.

When the first alarm is received from an initiating device, the

verification feature inhibits an alarm output for approximately 12

seconds. After this period, power is reapplied to the initiating

circuits. If a second alarm signal is received within 2 minutes, a

system alarm is generated; if not, the system resets and no alarm is

generated. An alarm from a manual station or heat detector,

however, is never delayed more than 15 seconds. To activate

alarm verification, see BMB Programming.

Note

When using alarm verification, total alarm delay (alarm

verification + smoke detector power-up time) cannot exceed

60 seconds according to the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA

72) or 30 seconds for installations governed by the California

State Fire Marshall. Alarm delay includes verification time

(12 seconds) and smoke detector power-up time. Smoke

detector power-up time varies by manufacturer, however,

ESL’s 429, 449, 521, 541, and 700 Series detectors meet both

CSFM and NFPA requirements (ESL detector power-up time

is 15 seconds).

During alarm verification, the Zone LED, Remote Annuncia-

tor and the Zone Relay Module (ZRM) may activate briefly

(approximately 12 seconds) during the initial alarm signal.

Zone Disconnect

Note

For maintenance use only! Notify local fire department and

receiving station before operating the switch if the control

panel is monitored, as a “trouble” signal will be transmitted.

When activated prior to an alarm condition, this switch

disconnects the local zone alarm from the auxiliary alarm relay and

alarm indicating circuits. When activated, the red local alarm zone

LED turns on and, if used, the supervised remote annuncitator

LED lights. Only the disconnected zone is affected; alarm signals

from other zones remain active.

When activated after an alarm condition, the auxiliary alarm

relay remains latched and alarm indicating circuits are turned off.

The red local alarm zone LED remains on and, if used, the

supervised remote annunciator remains on. Only the disconnected

zone is affected; alarm signals from other zones remain active.

Additionally, if an initiating device is still in alarm when a zone

disconnect switch is returned to normal, the alarm will again be

transmitted to both the alarm indicating circuits and the integral

sounder.

6ESL 1500 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel

System Reset

System reset can only be accomplished when all actuated alarm

devices have been restored to their normal, standby condition.

Note

Operating the system reset switch will return all alarm

initiating circuits and system-powered inititating devices to

their normal standby condition. Mechanical initiating devices

such as most fixed termperature heat detectors and manual

stations must be replaced or manually reset or the system will

alarm again when the reset switch is released.

Trouble Condition

Activation of the fault signal under normal operation indicates a

condition that requires immediate correction. A fault signal

involves illumination of the system trouble LED (yellow) and

individual diagnostic LED’s (yellow) generally associated with the

specific circuit affected. The integral sounder will sound a slow

intermittent signal and a set of dry, Form C contacts will transfer.

Moving the SOUNDER SILENCE switch to the silence position

will silence the audible trouble signal, but will not restore the Form

C contacts. Restoration to normal can only be achieved when all

faults have been corrected and all switches have been returned to

normal position. Trouble reset occurs automatically when this is

accomplished. If the SOUNDER SILENCE switch is off-normal at

the time all faults are clear, the “ringback” feature will alert the

operator.

Supervisory Functions

Zone 2 of the control panel can be programmed for supervisory

service. A common supervisory application would include

sprinkler water valve tamper switch monitoring. During a

supervisory alarm, the integral sounder activates a rapidly pulsing

tone and the zone 2 red local alarm LED lights. In addition, the

supervisory LED on the BMB will activate. During supervisory

trouble, the integral sounder activates a rapidly pulsing tone, zone

2 yellow local trouble LED lights and the system trouble relay

contacts transfer.

Remote Test (Drill)

A remote test (drill) function is provided for testing the 1500

System. Closing a listed normally-open switch connected to

terminals “SYS GND” and FIRE DRILL” (see Figure 5) will result

in actuating both the alarm indicating circuits and the integral

sounder. The common alarm relay will not operate, nor will an

optional remote notification circuit. Any alarm signaling devices

connected to the indicating circuits will be activated. During the

test/drill, the indicating supervisory circuit will be tested as well,

resulting in the illumination of the indicating circuit fault LED’s

and the system trouble LED. The integral sounder will sound a

slow intermittent signal.

Installation Recommendations/

Precautions

Note

The 1500 System is capable of power limited operation per

NEC Article 760, Section C. All circuits are power limited

except: CASE GND, TRB COM, TRB NO, ALM COM,

ALM NC, and LEM terminals. Non-power limited circuits

must be separated from power limited circuits by a minimum

of 1/4 inches (0.6cm). See Figure 7 for one method of routing

power limited wiring.

Caution

Do not route LEM field wires in close proximity of high

voltage wiring. LEM filed wiring must not exceed 3280

feet (1000m).

Verify wire sizes are adequate for all indicating and initiating

circuits. The maximum allowable initiating zone resistance is 100

Ohms. (Exception: When ESL 2-wire smoke detectors with

integral sounders are used, maximum initating zone resistance is

50 Ohms. See Table 3.)

(Maximum voltage drop allowable: 2 VDC)

Incoming AC voltage should be stable at a nominal 120 volts.

This is especially important in new construction where incoming

power may be high or unstable with temporary connections often

causing large, inductive voltage spikes.

Ground the system properly. The AC imput, power supply/battery

charger should use an isolated ground, not a conduit ground. Do

not connect this system to a conduit or green wire circuit that also

is used to power resistance heating, motors, fans, air conditioning

equipment, or florescent lighting circuits since leakage currents

into the ground return could damage system components. A

separate earth ground or cold water pipe with properly bypassed

water meter should be used. Provide a separate earth ground, if

water mains are non-conductive.

Run signal wires separately. Most supervised circuits use voltage

or current sensing circuits which are very sensitive to induced

voltages on the sensor wiring. Therefore, under no circumstances

run AC power, speaker, public address, intercom, or switch control

wiring with inductive loads in the same conduit or in the immedi-

ate vicinity of the control wiring.

Do not overlook adequate lightning protection. Lightning

damage commonly occurs from three sources:

1. Through alarm loop wiring

2. Through AC power inputs

3. Through earth ground or power ground connections

The 1500 System has substantial lightning protection incorporated

in all three areas. However, proper lightning protection for AC

power must be accomplished where the wire enters the building.

Arrestor circuitry and earth grounding should be in accordance

with Article 250 of the National Electrical Code.

There is no known protective device available which is capable of

protecting equipment from damage caused by “direct hit” strikes of

lightning due to the extremely high energy released (10 million to

100 million volts @ 10,000 to 30,000 amps). However, line surges

from indirect strikes can be minimized.

Additional protection is suggested in areas subject to above-

average lightning activity or induced voltage spikes and fluctua-

tions due to power line load switching.

Connecting Supplementary Contacts

Note

Supplementary Alarm and Trouble Contacts are for power

limited applications only (see Installation Recommendations/

Precautions). When supplementary contacts are connected to

a power limited circuit, these outputs meet power limited

code and do not require separation.

Supplementary Alarm Contacts

Dry, Form C contacts are provided for controlling supplementary

alarm functions from the BMB. Contacts are rated 2A @ 30 VDC

resistive. Terminals are ALM COM, ALM NC, and ALM NO.

Contacts transfer in alarm.

Supplementary Trouble Contacts

Dry, Form C contacts are provided for controlling supplementary

fault functions from the BMB. Contacts are rated 2A @ 30 VDC

resistive. Terminals are TRB COM, TRB NC, and TRB NO. The

trouble relay is normally energized and will activate even if both

AC and battery power are removed.

Optional Zone Relay Module (ZRM)

Additional relays may be added using the optional ZRM-5. Make

electrical connections using Figure 8. After connections are made,

use directions in Installing Optional ZRM and Snap Track to finish

the installation.

Field Wiring Checkout Procedures

Note

Make sure that AC and battery power are

disconnected before proceeding.

1. Test all field wiring before connecting any equipment.

A. Insure no unwanted voltages are present on circuit

conductors and ground. They are a hazard and may prevent

proper system operation.

B. All wiring except those intentionally and permanently

grounded must be tested for isolation from ground using an

insulation testing device such as a “Megger”.

Note

Caution must be exercised when using voltage

generating test instruments such as a “Megger”. Damage

to equipment could result if the equipment is connected

(wired) during wiring tests.

C. All wiring, other than those intentionally connected

together, must be tested for conductor-to-conductor

isolation using an insulation testing device.

2. With each circuit pair short-circuited at the end of the circuit,

measure circuit resistance with an ohmeter. Record the circuit

resistance of each circuit and store this data with the control

panel. Loop resistance must be less than 100 ohms on

initiating zones.

3. Perform testing as described previously after any addition,

deletion, or mechanical or electrical damage to the system

has occurred.

4. A periodic test should be performed in accordance with the

schedules recommended in NFPA 72, Chapter 7, or more

frequently, if required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Whenever possible a 100 percent test should be performed.

When less than a 100 percent test is performed, a record must

be maintained of the devices tested each time, so different

devices are tested in subsequent tests.

Alarm Initiating Devices

This section describes how to field wire initiating devices such as

smoke detectors, pull stations, and heat detectors. Refer to Figure 5

for Class A (Style D) and Figure 6 for Class B (Style B) wiring.

Two-Wire Smoke Detectors, Heat Detectors, and

Manual Pull Stations

•Connect only two-wire smoke detectors UL Listed as

compatible to the 1500 Series Fire Control Panel. Refer to the

list of compatible detectors in Appendix A.

•Two-wire detectors receive their power direct from the zone

terminals and transmit the alarm signal via the same wires. Be

certain to observe polarity when installing detectors.

•All initiating devices must be wired sequentially for proper

supervision with the end-of-line resistor (2.7K Ohm 1/2 W)

installed after the last device. ESL has detectors available with

EOL built in.

Four-Wire Smoke Detectors

•Four-wire detector power is shared with indicating circuits;

do not exceed total power requirements of 1.5 Amps.

•Always supervise four-wire detector power with an end-of-

line power supervisory device (ESL model 204-12/24V) after

the last unit.

See Figure 5 for Class A (Style D) wiring and Figure 6 for Class B

(Style B) connection to the panel.

Sprinkler System Waterflow and Supervisory

Devices

Normally open contact type waterflow alarm devices may be

connected, along with conventional manual alarm stations or heat

detectors. All zones to which waterflow alarm devices are

connected may be programmed such that the system alarm

indicating devices cannot be silenced. See Programming.

Supervisory signals for status reporting of waterflow control

valves, supplies, etc. must be connected to a separate zone, and

programmed for supervisory status. Only Zone 2 can be pro-

grammed for this feature. See Programming.

Alarm Indicating Devices

Use only polarized UL Listed signaling devices rated for 24 VDC,

see list of devices in Appendix A. See Figure 5 for Class A (Style

Z) wiring and Figure 6 for Class B (Style Y) connection to the

panel.

Note

Maximum indicating current per circuit is 1 Amp; however,

total operating current cannot exceed 1.5 Amps. Choose

the correct wire size for maximum voltage drop of 2 VDC at

the furthest device on the circuit (see Table 3).

Supplementary Alarm and Trouble Contacts are for power

limited applications only.

Connecting Optional Remote Notification

Devices

1500-RA-5A

Note

When using remote annunciators other than the ESL

1500-RA-5A, be sure all circuits have a series resistance of at

least 1K ohm. Maximum current should be 15mA per zone.

The control unit can properly power one remote annunciator.

When a remote annunciator is used, both the BMB and ZEM must

be programmed to provide supervision. See Programming. The

remote annunciator circuit is supervised as long as no other

devices are connected to the same terminals; otherwise, the devices

will not be supervised. See Figure 10 for the wiring diagram.

1500-LEM

The Local Energy Module (LEM) trip circuit is designed to

interface to a Listed Master Box with a local energy trip mecha-

nism. This optional module provides a supervised trip circuit from

the 1500 system that activates the Master Box upon a system

alarm. Make connections as detailed in Figure 11.

For systems which include remote annunciation 1500-RA-5A, use

Figure 10. Remove all power from the system before beginning

procedure.

Testing and System Checkout

Following installation and programming of the unit, a complete

test of the entire system must be conducted to assure proper

operation. NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code should serve as the

guide. Follow the recommended procedures, restoring all switches

and wiring to normal before proceeding to the next step.

Notify all building personnel and the fire department and

monitoring facilities before and after system testing.

After testing all systems and restoring the panel to its normal

operating condition, remove, and mount the 1500 Series Operating

Instructions, Appendix C, in a visible position near the control

unit. In a household fire warning system, test weekly. Disconnect

the AC power source during testing. If after testing low battery

conditions exists, replace the batteries.

Maintenance

Batteries

The 1500 Series control unit uses two sealed lead-acid batteries as

the secondary power source. The batteries must be replaced if the

Low Battery LED remains on for more than 48 hours (meaning

one or more of the battery cells are dead or the batteries will not

hold a charge). If the batteries are dead, replace with batteries of

the same size and electrical rating, with a maximum size of 12V, 12

Amp hours and dimensions of 4” x 4” x 6” (10cm x 10cm x 15cm).

Note

When replacing batteries, always replace both batteries, even

if only one appears dead. The typical battery life is 3 to 5

years, depending on usage. See the manufacturer’s specifica-

tions for the particular battery used.

The battery charging ciruit drops out if the charge falls below

15 VDC at batteries.

Fuses

The fuse located in the lower left corner of the BMB is provided

for overcurrent protection. The fuse can be tested with an ohmeter

or visually inspected. If the fuse is blown, replace with a type 3AG,

1 1/4” (3cm) x 1/4” (0.6cm), 6 Amp Fast Blow fuse.

ZEM Programming

All programming selections are controlled by switches located in

the front right center of the ZEM. Table 6 shows default (factory)
