ESL 560 Series 3V Standalone Smoke Alarm Installation Instructions UL CSFM 4300 Series Wireless Smoke Alarm LISTED Description Sounder vent Optional temperature sensor The ESL 560 Series smoke alarm is designed to be used as a standalone smoke alarm. Depending on the model, the smoke alarm provides the following features: Smoke Alarm/base lock discourages unauthorized removal of the smoke alarm by requiring a screwdriver to remove the alarm from the base. Optional integrated fixed 135°F temperature and rate of rise heat alarm trips an alarm based on temperature detected. Test/Silence button LED CleanMe Self-diagnostics (when UL listed with a transmitter) monitors its own sensitivity and operational status. If the smoke alarm drifts out of the UL listed sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes its LED. Figure 1 - Smoke Alarm Features Selecting a Location Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke alarms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure 2. Internal Signal Outputs When the smoke alarm is listed with a transmitter it provides the following signals for interfacing: Alarm Alarm restore Low battery CleanMe Maintenance alert TV Room Bedroom Dining Room A-8-1.2.1.C Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms 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. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. Kitchen Bedroom Bedroom Living Room Bedroom Dining Room Living Room Important: Regulations pertaining to smoke alarm installations vary from state to state. For more information, contact your local fire department or local authority having jurisdiction. Bedroom Basement = Required smoke alarms = Additional smoke alarms required for new construction Figure 2 - Smoke Alarm Placement In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of false alarms from the alarm: Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in the center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or partitions. Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling. Knockout Locate in a suitable environment as follows: - Temperature 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.

Be Prepared Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire: Avoid Fire Hazards No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows: Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. Do not smoke in bed Do not leave children home alone 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. Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline. Detach and leave with the end user 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. 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. Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets 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. 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. Dont stop to pack or search for valuables. Smoke alarms 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. 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 realizes and understands this danger. Use your neighbors phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals. ✄ WARNING ESL is a brand name of Sentrol.
