Introduction The EL-2603NA is a smoke detector and transmitter designed for use with Electronics Line 3000’s supervised wireless range of receivers. The EL-2603NA sends a status transmission to the receiver every hour to indicate that the transmitter is functional. Smoke Detector/Base Lock discourages unauthorized removal of the transmitter or of the batteries by requiring a screwdriver to remove the detector from the base. Please read this guide thoroughly before proceeding with the installation.
• • • Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers, and any other ventilation source that may interfere with smoke entering the detector. Mount smoke detectors on a firm permanent surface. Locate away from large metallic objects. Attaching and Removing Attaching Attach the mounting base to the ceiling using the screws provided. Attach the EL-2603NA to its mounting base. To do so, line up the raised tab on the lip of the detector with the slot/arrow on the lip of the mounting base.
Testing and Registration Transmission Testing and Detector Registration , 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Before testing and registration, apply the battery power (See Attaching and Removing) Set the receiver to Registration mode. Press the test button (See Figure 2) Make sure that the Registration procedure is completed (if necessary, press the test button again). After registration, write the number of the zone to which the transmitter is registered on the sticker provided.
Cleaning the Detector Clean the detector cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth as needed to keep it free from dust and dirt. When necessary, clean the detector interior and replace the smoke chamber as follows: 1. Remove the detector from its mounting base. See Attaching and Removing the Detector. 2. Remove the Batteries. See Replacing the Batteries. 3. Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot on the detector cap and gently push the handle down to pry the cap up and off. See Figure 5. 4.
In Case of Fire In the event of a fire, you should do the following: • Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables. • 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.
The Limitations of this Smoke Detector While this smoke detector /transmitter is a highly reliable device that is a part of an advanced wireless security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against fire. While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths, they may not activate and provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires.
