ESL/ITIWireless Smoke Sensors
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
Figure2.
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:
GCleanMe™self-diagnostics monitor sensor sensitivity
and operational status (see the “Testing” section).
GSensor tamper switch that triggers a tamper signal
transmission when the sensor is removed from its
mounting base.
GFixed135°F temperature/rate ofrise 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”).
Avoid installing the unit until all construction is completed.
The mounting base may be pre-installed.
The dust cover must be removed for the unit to
detect smoke.
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 ProtectionAssociation’s
(NFPA) Standard 72, Chapter 8.

and hallways not protected by the required smoke
alarms/detectors. The installation of smoke alarms/
detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or
garages is not normally recommended, as these locations
occasionally experience conditions that can result in
improper operation.
Regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector
installations vary from state to state. For more information,
contact your local fire department or local authority
having jurisdiction.
GDO NOT mount a smoke alarm to a drop ceiling tile;
mount it to a metal runner.
GMount all smoke alarms within 100 feet of the panel.
GInstall a minimum of two smoke alarms in any house
hold, no matter how small it is.
GPut a smoke alarm in the hallway outside of every
bedroomarea.Aminimum of twosmokealarmsare
required in homes with two bedroom areas.
GPut a smoke alarm on every level of a multi-level
residence.
GInstall basement alarms on the ceiling as close to the
center of the room as possible. If this is not practical,
install it on the ceiling no closer than 4 inches (10 cm)
fromany wall or corner.
GIf ceiling mounting is not practical, install on an
inside wall between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from
the ceiling.
GPut smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway
if the hallway is more than 30 feet (9 meters) long.
Large rooms over 900 square feet require more than a
single sensor.
GAreas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls
coming down from the ceiling require additional
smokealarms.
GInstall second-floor smoke alarms on the ceiling at the
top of the first-to-second floor stairwell. be sure no
door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to
the unit.
GIn rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, install
smoke alarms 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured down on the
slant from the highest point of the ceiling (see Figure 5).
In addition to smoke alarms/detectors outside of the sleeping
areas, Chapter 8 requires the installation of a smoke alarm/
detector on each additional story of the family living unit,
including the basement. These installations are shown in
Figure 3. The living area smoke alarm/detector should be
installed in the living room or near the stairway to the upper
level, or in both locations. The basement smoke alarm/
detector should be installed in close proximity to the stairway
leading to the floor above. Where installed on an open-joist
ceiling, the alarm/detector should be positioned relative to
the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a fire in
the basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
NFPA72,A-8-1.2.1.b Where to Locate the Required Smoke
Alarms/Detectors in New Construction. All of the smoke
alarms/detectors specified inA-8-1.2.1.a for existing construc-
tion are required and, in addition, a smoke detector is
required in each bedroom.
NFPA72,A-8-1.2.1.c Are More Smoke Alarms/Detectors
Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms/detectors
might not provide reliable early warning protection for those
areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke alarms/detectors. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms/detectors for those areas for
increased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room,

ESL/ITIWireless Smoke Sensors
All alarms are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-
warn for a variety of reasons, for example:
GSmoke alarms cannont detect smoke in chimneys,
walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.
GAlarms may not detect smoke on other levels of the
building.
GAlarms may not warn in time when fires are caused by
smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of
flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other
hazardous conditions.
GIn or near areas where combustion particles are
normally present such as kitchens; in garages where
there are particles of combustion in vehicle exhausts;
near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.
GOn the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is
no transom between the kitchen and these rooms.
GIn damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with
showers. Install sensors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters)
away from bathrooms.
GIn very cold or very hot areas.
GIn dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas.
GNear fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty
areas.Air conditioners, heater, fans, and fresh air
intakes and returns can drive smoke away from smoke
alarms.
GIn dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or
wall/ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from
reaching a smoke alarm.
GNear flourescent light fixtures. Install smoke alarms at
lease 10 feet (3 meters) away from flourescent light
fixtures.
This section describes the basic steps for adding the sensor
to panel memory. For complete programming information,

button is pressed (model 60-848-95 only). The sensor
automatically resets when smoke is no longer present.
A sensor that fails to activate with either the sensor or
smoke test may require cleaning. If a sensor still fails to
activate after cleaning, return the unit for service.
Each smoke sensor includes a sensitivity level test mode
that lets you check the sensitivity using the test/silence
button and the LED as follows:
1. Press and hold the test/silence button for 2 seconds,
then release it. The LED flashes one to nine times.
2. Count the number of LED flashes and use the
following table to determine the status of the sensor
sensitivity and what action to take, if any.
When the batteries are low, the sensor transmits a low
battery signal for at least 7 days, allowing the monitoring
company time to contact the customer for service.
After 10 days, the sensor will chirp every 30 seconds until
the batteries are exhausted. Press and release the test/
silence button to silence the low battery beeps for 24
hours.
Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high
humidity may reduce battery life. Replace both batteries
when the sensor or panel notifies you that the batteries are
low. Always test the system after replacing the batteries.
Attach the sensor to the base as follows:
1. Line up the raised tab on the lip of the sensor with the
slot on the lip of the mounting base.
2. Attach the sensor onto the base and turn clockwise
approximately 15 degrees. It should snap firmly
into place.
Test each smoke sensor every week to verify that its siren
and signal integrity are adequate. Refer to the specific panel
installation instructions for system response.
1. Put the panel in the Dealer or User Sensor Test mode.
2. Press and hold the test/silence button on the detector
for 2 seconds, then release it.
After a slight delay (about 10 seconds), the LED turns
on and the built-in sounder emits one temporal
3 pattern (3 beeps).
Note
The model 60-849-95 (UL 268 version) does not produce
any sound when the test/silence button is pressed.
3. Listen for the appropriate response from system
sirens to determine signal integrity from the sensor
to the panel (refer to the specific panel installation
instructions).
4. Exit from Dealer or User Sensor Test mode.
Smoke detectors should be tested in place annually using
canned aerosol simulated smoke (Smoke! in a Can, ESL Part
No. SM-200). Follow the instructions on the can.
To avoid a fire department dispatch, contact the central
monitoring station or put the system into sensor test
mode before activating the sensor using this method.
The LED should remain on while the built-in transmitter
sends an alarm signal to the control panel. The sensor
produces a temporal 3 beeping pattern until the test/silence
