UTC Interlogix (Formerly GE Security/ESL) 521BXT 2-Wire Photoelectric Smoke Detector, CleanMe, Heat

UPC: 046188069316
Also known as: ES-521BXT, GES-521BXT

The UTC 521BXT self-diagnostic, two-wire smoke detector is a conventional direct-wire smoke detector with analog features such as remote maintenance/trouble reporting (CleanMe), drift compensation, and multi-criteria detection.

The 521BXT continually monitors its own sensitivity and operational status, and provides a visual and remote trouble condition if the unit drifts out of the sensitivity range or fail internal diagnostics.

The 521 BXT is equipped with both a rate-of-rise and fixed temperature sensor and operates on 6.5 - 33 VDC.
