1. Open the battery compartment located at the back of the device.
2. Insert two D-Cell alkaline batteries into the compartment.
3. Ensure proper battery orientation.
4. If low battery signals are detected, replace the batteries promptly.

RF Range Adjustment
Adjust the RF receiving distance of ESL-1 based on your needs

• Select the appropriate setting on the RF Range Switch Block for the desired distance.
• Conduct a range test to determine the effective range in your environment.

Flashing Length
ESL-1 will flash when activated; here’s how it works

• The device will flash for up to 15 minutes upon activation.
• The flashing stops upon receiving a cancel signal from the Control Panel or paired devices.

Device Pairing
To pair devices with ESL-1

• Ensure the device is compatible with ESL-1 (pull cords, panic buttons, etc.).
• Follow the pairing instructions provided in the user manual for each device.
• A maximum of 10 devices can be paired with ESL-1.

FAQ

• Q: How often does ESL-1 transmit a supervision signal?
  

  • A: ESL-1 transmits a supervision signal every 30-50 minutes in normal operation mode to the locator or Control Panel.

• Q: What happens if the supervision signal is not received within the expected period?
  

  • A: If the Panel fails to receive the supervision signal within the preprogrammed period, it will indicate a fault.

Emergency Strobe Light (ESL-1)

Introduction

ESL-1 is a battery-operated emergency strobe light that provides visual alert by flashing its LEDs when the paired device(s) is/are triggered or when the Control Panel activates an alarm.
Up to 10 devices can be paired with the Emergency Strobe Light. Pairable devices include pull cords, panic buttons, geo pendants, wrist transmitters, fall sensors, and mmWave fall sensors.

Features

• Battery and Low Battery Detection

  • The Emergency Strobe Light is powered by two 1.5V D-Cell Alkaline batteries. It features low battery detection and will transmit low battery signals along with regular signal transmissions to the locator when low battery voltage is detected.
  • When changing the batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the learn button a couple times to fully drain the residual energy before inserting new batteries.

• Supervision

  • ESL-1 will transmit a supervision signal to the locator or the Control Panel every 30-50 minutes in normal operation mode.
  • When the Panel fails to receive the supervision signal within the preprogrammed period, it will indicate a fault.

• RF Range Switch Block for Pendants

  • The switch block is used to determine ESL-1’s RF receiving distance from the paired wearable devices including wrist transmitters, fall sensors and geo pendants. The setting of the switch block does not apply to fixed devices (i.e., panic buttons, pull cords and mm Wave fall sensors).

  • The RF receiving distance can be adjusted in 4 levels as listed in the table below.
    < NOTE> THE RF RECEIVING DISTANCE IS SUBJECT TO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. PLEASE CONDUCT A RANGE TEST/WALK TEST TO ACCURATELY DETERMIND THE EFFECTIVE RANGE.

  • Pushing the slider upwards will turn on the switch, and pull the slider downwards will turn off the switch.

< NOTE>
Set only one switch to ON at a time. If two or more switches are set to ON, the receiving distance will be determined by the leftmost switch among them.
For instance, if switches 2 and 4 are set to ON, the setting of switch 2 shall prevail.

• Flashing Length
  • When the Control Panel or the paired devices (i.e., panic buttons/pull cords/fall sensors) is/are activated, ESL-1 will start flashing per second for a maximum of 15 minutes.
  • ESL-1 will stop flashing when receiving a cancel signal from the Panel or paired devices. Please refer to the user manual of the Panel or each paired device for details of sending cancel signals.
• Device Pairing
  • ESL-1 will light up its LEDs when the paired devices are triggered. A maximum of 10 devices can be paired.
  • Pairable devices include pull cords, panic buttons, geo pendants, wrist transmitters, fall sensors, and mm Wave fall sensors.

Preparation

• Step 1 Loosen the bottom fixing screws on the short sides with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the top cover by sliding it upwards.
• Step 2 Insert the batteries according to the polarity and slide the power switch to ON to power ESL-1 on. All LEDs  will flash once together.

To pair devices with ESL-1

• Step 1 Press Learn Button for 3 seconds to enter learn mode for 1 minute. LED 2 will turn steady on in learn mode.
• Step 2 Press and hold Learn/Test Button on the sensor to be paired until all LEDs of ESL-1 flashes twice together,  indicating successful pairing.

< NOTE>

• If it is attempted to pair an 11th device, LEDs 1-3 will sequentially flash twice to indicate no availability.
• ESL-1 will leave learn mode automatically after 1 minute.
• Alternatively, users can press Learn Button once in learn mode to manually leave learn mode.

Learning
ESL-1 can be learned into the Control Panel and will illuminate when the Help Button on the Panel is pressed to activate an alarm.

• Step 1 Put the Control Panel into Learning mode (please refer to the Panel’s manual for details).
• Step 2 Press ESL-1’s Learn Button for 3 seconds to enter learn mode; ESL-1 will light up its LED 2 and send a learn code to the Panel automatically. If successfully receiving the learn code, the Panel will send an ACK signal to ESL-1. All LEDs of ESL-1 will flashes twice together when the ACK signal is received.
• Step 3 ESL-1 is now successfully learned into the Panel. Users can leave learn mode either automatically after 1-minute learn mode expires, or manually by pressing Learn Button once.

Installation

• Installation Guideline
  • ESL-1 is designed to be mounted on a flat surface with the fixing screws and wall plugs provided.
  • ESL-1 should be mounted on the wall using the mounting bracket.
• Installation
  A mounting bracket is provided for mounting the Emergency Strobe Light.
  Step 1 Use the two mounting holes on the mounting bracket to mount and screw the mounting bracket onto the wall (FIG. 1).
  Step 2 Hook ESL-1 onto the mounting bracket and push it downwards to firmly fix it in place (FIG. 2).

• Battery / Top Cover Replacement
  Step 1 Loosen the bottom fixing screws that secure the top cover to the device.
  Step 2 Slide the top cover upwards (to reveal the battery compartment). This will allow access for battery as well as top cover replacement.

Factory Reset
The Emergency Strobe Light can be reset to clear all the paired devices.

• Step 1 Loosen the bottom fixing screws and remove the top cover.
• Step 2 Slide the power switch to OFF to turn off the device and press Learn Button a couple times to fully drain the  residual energy.
• Step 3 Press and hold Learn Button and then slide the battery switch to ON to power on the device.
• Step 4 Continue to hold Learn Button for about 7 seconds until all LEDs flash three times together. The previous paired  devices are now cleared.
