Smoke Detectors
500 Series
12
Edwards 500 Series two-wire conventional photo-
electric smoke detectors work on a light-scattering
principle. A pulsed infrared light-emitting diode
serves as the light source, and a high-speed photo
diode as the sensing element. This design protects
against nuisance alarms caused by dust, insects,
RF interference, and ambient light. Built-in drift
compensation allows the detector to automatically
adjust its sensitivity over time as it becomes dirty.
The 500 Series optical chamber is field replace-
able. In the event of a confirmed alarm the LED
will light continuously. The unit indicates trouble by
flashing the LED every second. This meets the
NFPA 72 field sensitivity testing requirements.
The 500 Series offers sounders in two-wire
applications, specifically to meet residential code
requirements. Units with built-in 85dBA sounders
emit a temporal 3-3-3 tone pattern when in alarm
and will emit a steady tone when the input power
is reversed. All wiring terminates in clamp-type
screw terminals. The detectors mount to a
standard single-gang electrical box, a four-inch
octagonal, four-inch square electrical box, or
WIREMOLD No. 5739 fixture box.
