120 Volt AC Hardwire Smoke Alarm.
Model ESA5011 -
•
120 Volt AC Hardwire with Relay
Important information about your smoke alarm
• Install alarms outside of every bedroom area and on every floor of
your home. Please refer to Section 3 "Where to Locate Smoke
Alarms" for details.
• Test the alarm weekly by pressing and holding the test button for
up to 20 seconds until the alarm sounds.
• The models described in this manual are designed for single
family residences, including homes and apartments rather than
commercial or industrial use.
Smoke Alarm Safety Features
• Dual-Ionization Chambers - Advanced design responds to visible
or invisible particles of combustion (smoke) to sense fires in their
earliest stages. Compensates for changes in humidity and
temperature to virtually eliminate "nuisance" alarms caused by
normal atmospheric changes in the home.
• Operating Light (LED) - A continuous green light located behind
the slotted case indicates the smoke alarm is receiving AC power.
• Interconnection - Interconnection facilities for up to 11 other
units, using only three wires, including AC power. When one
alarm sounds, all properly interconnected smoke alarms follow.
NOTE: Interconnect only with the models specified in Section 6.
• Alarm Source Indicator - The red operating light in the unit
originating the alarm will flash rapidly in the event of an alarm.
With interconnected units, this feature allows for an easy check to
determine the originator.
• Locking Key - The auxiliary locking key provided can be used to
lock the smoke alarm to the mounting plate. This helps to reduce
the risk of unauthorized removal.
• Sensitivity Test Button - Test sensitivity, as well as circuitry and
horn. With interconnected units, activating test button on one
unit will cause all properly interconnected units to sound. An
important and convenient check of system integrity.
• Quick Disconnect Power Connector - For easy installation,
connect the wires separately from the unit and then plug into the
back of the unit.
• Detachable Mounting Plate - For easily securing the alarm to the
junction box.

1. CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
American Sensors Inc. smoke alarms are designed to provide early
warning of fire and smoke at reasonable cost. Early warning can
mean the difference between a safe escape and no escape at all.
While smoke alarms can provide invaluable protection for you and
your family, they do have limitations.
• Smoke alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated
alarms will not work without proper batteries, with dead batteries
or if batteries are not properly installed. AC powered alarms will
not work if their AC power supply is cut off by an electrical fire,
an open fuse, a circuit breaker or any other reason.
If you are concerned about the reliability of either battery or your
AC power supply for any of the above reasons, you should install
in your home both AC and battery powered smoke alarms for
added security. American Sensors Inc. also offers the SA379
model which is AC powered with battery back-up.
• Smoke alarms are incapable of sounding the alarm until smoke
reaches the sensing chamber. Anything preventing smoke from
reaching the alarm may delay or prevent an alarm. A smoke alarm
cannot detect fire in the walls, chimney or roof unless and until a
significant amount of smoke reaches the alarm. A closed door may
prevent smoke from reaching an alarm on the other side of the
door. A smoke alarm may not sense a fire on another floor of a
home. For example, a basement smoke alarm may not detect a fire
which started on the first or second floor.
• Smoke alarms may not be heard. The loudness of the horn in
your alarm meets current standards. However, the sound may be
blocked by distance, closed doors, or ambient noise such as traffic
or a stereo. Smoke alarms may not be heard by persons who are
hard of hearing.
For these reasons, a smoke alarm should be installed in every
room or at least on every level of your home. American Sensors
Inc. recommends that hardwire AC Powered smoke alarms be
interconnected, so that one alarm will trigger all other alarms to
sound their alarms.
• Smoke alarms are not fool-proof. Smoke alarms may not always
sense every kind of fire. They cannot be expected to sense fires
caused by carelessness or by safety hazards. They may not give
early warning of fast growing fires caused by smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, natural causes such as
lightning, children playing with matches, or arson.
• Smoke alarms are not substitutes for property, disability, life or
other insurance of any kind. Home owners and renters should
continue to insure their lives and property. Consult your
insurance agent.
• Smoke alarms have limited lives. One or more of the many
components could fail at any time. Therefore, test your smoke
alarm weekly. Clean and take care of it as described in this
manual. Repair or replace the smoke alarm when it fails to test
properly. Your smoke alarm should be replaced if it is ten years
old.
•
Ionization Technology vs.
Photoelectronic Technology
Smoke Alarms
There are two different types of smoke alarm technology
currently in general use: Ionization and photoelectronic.
While both types of technology are suitable for general
residential use, an ionization alarm will normally respond faster
to fast flaming fires, while a photoelectronic alarm may be more
sensitive to detecting slow smouldering fires. Because home
fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in
their growth, it is impossible to predict which type of alarm
will provide the earliest warning. For best home protection
install at least one photoelectronic and one ionization smoke
alarm on each level of your home. Models SA360 and
ESA5011 are ionization type smoke alarms.
A photoelectronic smoke alarm senses smoke using an electronic
photo receptor to sense the scattering of light by smoke particles.
The American Sensors model SA388 is a photoelectronic type
smoke alarm.
2. SAFETY TIPS
Properly installed and maintained smoke alarms are an essential part
of a good home fire safety program. Your fire safety program
should also include a review of fire hazards and the elimination of
dangerous conditions whenever possible. Consider the following
tips:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them
near an open flame or sparks.
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition. Do not overload
electrical circuits.
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease free.
Make sure they are properly installed and away from any
combustible materials.
• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from
combustible material.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Keep a supply of extra batteries on hand for your battery powered
smoke alarms.
• Do not stand too close to the alarm when the unit is in alarm as
the loud horn could damage your hearing.
Never disconnect the battery or the AC power
WARNING
!
on any type of smoke alarm to silence a
nuisance alarm. Clear the area of smoke by opening doors and
windows or fanning the smoke away.
Most important, when fire strikes, a prepared and practiced escape
plan can make the difference between life and death. Develop an
escape plan and practice it with the entire family, including small
children.
• Ensure all family members are familiarized with the alarm signal.
• Prepare an escape plan. Draw a Floor Plan of Your Home and
determine two exits from each room. There should be a way to
get out of each bedroom without opening the door.
• Have Fire Drills Often. Practice your Escape and BE PREPARED.
• Decide on a meeting place at a safe distance from your home.
IN CASE OF FIRE
• Don't waste time collecting possessions after a fire starts.
• Arouse all occupants and leave the building. Your most valuable
possession is your life.
• Doors can mean escape or death. Never open doors without first
checking for heat. Test them with your hands, if they feel warm,
fire may be walled up behind them - leave closed and find another
escape route.
• Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.
• If trapped inside, stay close to the floor, cover mouth with cloth,
conserve breath as you crawl to safety.
• Keep all doors and windows closed except for escape purposes.
• NEVER re-enter a burning building.
• Keep your family in a pre-arranged meeting place after your
escape.
Your local fire department may be able to offer you additional ideas
for safety and escape plans in the home.
3a. WHERE TO LOCATE SMOKE ALARMS
As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between sleeping
areas and potential sources of fire such as a kitchen, heated garage or
basement. In single storey homes with one sleeping area, an alarm
should be installed in the hallway outside the bedrooms (see Figure
1). In single storey homes with two separate sleeping areas, a
minimum of two alarms are required, one outside each sleeping area
(see Figure 2). In multi-level or split-level homes, as a minimum, an
alarm should be installed outside each sleeping area, in the basement
and at every level of the home (see Figure 3).
• In every room of your home (except the bathroom): Research
indicates that substantial increases in warning time can be
obtained with each properly installed, additional alarm.
• In bedrooms: In anticipation of fires originating within these
rooms, caused by faulty wiring, lamps, appliances, smoking or
other hazards.
• In hallways: At a distance no greater than 4 meters (13 feet) from
the farthest wall and no greater than 8 meters (26 feet) from the
next alarm.
• In the center of a room or hallway: As it is impossible to predict
the source of a fire. If it is necessary to place the alarm on a wall,
always locate the top of the smoke alarm 10-15 cm (4-6 inches)
from the ceiling.
• As needed: To compensate for closed doors and other obstacles
that may interfere with the path of smoke to an alarm. They may
also prevent occupants on one side of a closed door from hearing
an alarm on the other side of the door.
• Models SA360 and ESA5011 - Hardwire models can be located in
any area of the home.
READ "CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE
ALARMS" in Section 1 of this manual.
Your local fire department or insurance company may be able to give
you further advice on the best smoke alarm locations in your home.
Call them and ask.

3b. WHERE TO LOCATE SMOKE ALARMS IN MOBILE HOMES.
NOTE: Power supply must be 120 Volts AC for models SA360
and ESA5011.
In mobile homes built after 1978 locate the smoke alarm as
described above.
Older mobile homes may have little or no insulation compared to
the ones built post 1978. These uninsulated exteriors can disrupt
airflow around the smoke alarm in hotter or colder weather. Locate
the alarm only on interior walls 10 to 15 cm (4" to 6") from ceiling
1. if you own an older mobile home, or 2. if you notice the exterior
walls and/or ceiling are noticeably cold or warm or 3. if you are
uncertain about the quality of insulation.
Regardless of the age of the mobile home, locate alarms throughout
to ensure maximum protection. Follow the location instructions in
this manual.
4. NFPA RECOMMENDATIONS
For your information, the National Fire Protection Association's
Standard 72, Section 2-2.1.1.1, reads as follows:
2-2.1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional storey of the family living unit,
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics. In new construction a smoke alarm also
shall be installed in each sleeping room.
5. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
Avoid locations where smoke may not reach the alarm in time to
provide early warning, or where the alarm may not be effective.
DO NOT PLACE SMOKE ALARMS:
• In turbulent air from fans, doors, windows, etc. The rapid air
movement may prevent combustion particles from entering the
alarm.
• In dead air spaces such as at the peak of an "A" frame ceiling.
"Dead air" at the top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm
in time to provide early warning. In rooms with simple sloped,
peaked or gabled ceilings, install smoke alarms on the ceiling
90 cm (3 feet) from the highest point of the ceiling.
Note: For complex ceiling structures, consult a safety expert for
the number of alarms required and the best locations.
• In very hot or cold areas where the temperature exceeds 38
C
0
(100
0
F) or falls below 5
0
C (40
0
F).
• Less than 15 cm (6 inches) from the wall when mounted on the
ceiling.
Nuisance alarms could result when smoke alarms are located where
interference may occur with the sensing chamber. To avoid
nuisance alarms, DO NOT place smoke alarms:
• In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and attics. Place
smoke alarms at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from bathrooms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• In poorly ventilated kitchens or garages.
• In very dusty and dirty areas.
• Near fluorescent lights. Place smoke alarms at least 1.5 meters
(5 feet) from fluorescent lights.
This smoke alarm is suitable for residential use.
WARNING
!
It is not to be connected to a commercial or
industrial fire alarm panel.
6. INSTALLATION AND TESTING
This model has an optional Locking Key to better secure the alarm
to inhibit unauthorized removal. If securing the alarm is a concern,
remove and save the "Locking Key" from the back plate with needle
nosed pliers before installing the alarm. See point 12 in this section
for more details on this feature.
A. Installation
Mount to any standard or rectangular junction box with a minimum
depth of 2.5 cm (1 inch).
Model SA360- 120 VAC, 60Hz, 50mA operation
Model ESA5011- 120 VAC, 60Hz, 70mA operation
WARNING: Wiring should only be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and
local codes.
WARNING: The circuit used to power the smoke alarm must be a
24 hour voltage circuit that cannot be turned off by a switch or a
ground fault interrupter. It is highly recommended that smoke
alarms be wired on a separate circuit (one with no other lights or
appliances) to ensure maximum reliability of AC power supply. For
installation of smoke alarms in Dwelling Units, it is important to
follow the Canadian Electrical Code and local codes.
1. Electricity must be turned off at service entrance before
beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment
damage.
2. Location must comply with applicable building codes.
3. Install a junction box where you plan to install the alarm. Use
standard 14 gauge wire.
4. Connect black and white wires colour to colour from power
connector to AC power leads.
5. For multiple station application use the orange wire to
interconnect. If unit is not to be interconnected, cap unused
wire. NOTE: The SA360 and ESA5011 are interconnectable
with up to 11 other units.
6. Loosen or remove screws from junction box.
7. Attach flat side of mounting plate and tighten screws to fit
snugly against the junction box and ceiling or wall.
8. Bring power connector through center opening.

B. Operation: How To Test
Testing After Installation
1. Smoke Test - Hold a piece of cotton string with pliers. Leave
about 5 cm (2 inches)of string dangling from the pliers. Burn
the tip of the string with a safety match, extinguish flame and
hold smoking string 15 cm (6 inches) below and to one side of
the smoke alarm. Blow smoke towards the smoke alarm until
the horn sounds. The horn will sound until the sensing
chamber is clear of smoke. Repeat this monthly.
2. Check to see that the green "POWER ON" light is on. The
"POWER ON" light is visible behind the slotted case and
confirms that the smoke alarm is receiving AC power.
3. Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds. NOTE:
It may be necessary to press the test button for up to 20 seconds
for an alarm to sound. An alarm is indicated by a loud pulsating
sound. Alarm may continue to sound for up to 10 seconds after
button is released. (NOTE: Model ESA5011: Pressing the test
button activates the relay.)
4. At least once a week, press the test button and hold until the
alarm sounds, then release.
NOTE: Multiple Station Only:
5. Test each alarm separately in the system.
6. Determine that the initiating alarm triggers other alarms in the
system.
7. Model ESA5011: Pressing the test button activates the relay.
7. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY. VACUUM EVERY SIX MONTHS.
Your smoke alarm should be cleaned every six months to help keep
the unit working efficiently. REMOVE POWER TO ALARM.
Gently vacuum through the vents of the alarm with a soft brush
attachment. Keep vacuum nozzle from touching the unit.
RE-ESTABLISH POWER TO ALARM.
Problems may be indicated by the following:
1. The alarm does not sound upon pressing the test button.
2. The alarm does not sound with the smoke test.
3. The green operating light does not remain steadily on when unit
is AC powered.
4. The red operating light remains steadily on or off. (i.e. does not
flash once every 45 seconds, when the unit is not in alarm).
TRY THE FOLLOWING:
1. Inspect breaker or fuse in power circuit to alarm.
2. Gently vacuum as recommended above.
3. Call an electrician to inspect house wiring and connection to
alarms.
If these procedures do not correct the problem, do NOT attempt
repairs. If the smoke alarm is within warranty period and terms,
indicate the nature of the problem and return the unit with proof of
purchase to the point of purchase, distributor or manufacturer. See
below for instructions. Units beyond warranty cannot be
economically repaired.
FALSE ALARMS:
Abnormal air conditions may cause the highly sensitive smoke alarm
to give a "false" alarm. If no fire is apparent, ventilate the room
and/or blow fresh air into the unit until the alarm stops. Once
cleared, the smoke alarm will automatically reset.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE AC POWER SUPPLY.
Dust can lead to excess sensitivity. Vacuum as recommended above.
