interlogix ESL 521 Series Low Profile Self-Diagnostic Two Wire Photoelectric Smoke Detector
Introduction
- CleanMe® remote maintenance reporting reduces false alarms
- Smart dual fixed/rate of rise heat works with photo chamber to catch fires faster
- Built-in drift compensation reduces false alarms
- Field replaceable optical chamber makes servicing a snap
- Small, low profile design blends in with any environment
The ESL 521 Series self-diagnostic, two-wire
smoke detectors are the industry’s first conventional direct-wire smoke
detectors with analog features such as remote maintenance/trouble reporting
(CleanMe®), drift compensation, and multi-criteria detection.
The 521 Series continually monitor their own sensitivity and operational
status, and provide a visual and remote trouble condition if they drift out of
the sensitivity range or fail internal diagnostics. This meets NFPA 72 field
sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external meters. The 521
has a unique feature enabling it to send a signal (CleanMe) to the ESL 505
module (sold separately) when it has drifted outside of its UL Listed
sensitivity range or has failed its internal diagnostics test. The 505 is an
interface module that will signal a 24V panel via relays when the 521 is
dirty. Several 12V and 24V control panels have the CleanMe software built in,
eliminating the need for the 505 module. When Clean Me is not desired, simply
leave the switch on the 521 off and it will work as a normal two wire
detector. CleanMe allows the installer time to schedule a service call and
avoid a false alarm.
Time between cleaning detectors is dramatically increased because of the 521’s
built-in drift compensation. This feature, usually only available in analog
systems, allows the detector to automatically adjust its sensitivity over time
as it becomes dirty, increasing the life of the detector
And when the 521 has told you that cleaning is necessary, it’s literally a
snap with ESL’s patented field replaceable optical chamber.
521 Series ESL Photoelectric Smoke Detectors
The multi-criteria model 521BXT/CRXT photoelectric smoke detector/fixed rate of rise heat detector includes fast response algorithms for a quick response to both flaming and smoldering fires. Fast response algorithms allow the heat detectors to work intelligently together with the photoelectric smoke detector. As soon as the heat sensor detects a rapid rise in temperature, the sensitivity of the photoelectric sensor increases allowing it to detect smaller particles of combustion faster
Architectural and Engineering Specifications
The ESL 521 Series photoelectric smoke detector is a lowprofile, self-
diagnostic , two wire detector that monitors its own sensitivity and
operational status. This detector meets
NFPA 72 field sensitivity requirements without the need for external meters.
Built-in drift compensation automatically adjusts the sensitivity as the
detector gets dirty. Normal sensing occurs every 9 seconds. This rate doubles
when a signal exceeding the alarm threshold value is sensed. Two additional
successive signals above the threshold level will initiate an alarm.
See installation instructions for information about correct installation and maintenance
The proprietary optical sensing chamber is field replaceable, allowing quick and easy cleaning and maintenance.
