The ES700SK2 is a smoke detector designed for easy installation and user-friendly operation, manufactured by Essence Security International Ltd. This document provides photographic evidence of the installation process, illustrating the steps involved in setting up the device.
The primary function of the ES700SK2 is to detect smoke, providing an early warning system for potential fires. It operates as a standalone unit, relying on internal batteries for power. The device is designed to be mounted on a wall, ensuring optimal placement for smoke detection within a given area. Upon detection of smoke, the device is expected to trigger an alarm, alerting occupants to the presence of a fire hazard.
While specific technical specifications such as sensor type, alarm decibel level, or battery life are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual does indicate that the device requires two batteries for operation. The label view (Photograph No. 2) shows a "Duracell Ultra" battery, suggesting the use of standard consumer batteries, likely AA or AAA, for power. The device is identified with FCC ID: YXG-ES700SK2 and IC: 11061A-ES700SK2, which are regulatory compliance identifiers indicating its certification for radio frequency emissions in the United States and Canada, respectively. This implies that the device likely incorporates wireless communication capabilities, possibly for integration into a broader security system or for remote notifications, although this is not explicitly stated as a core function in the provided excerpts. The physical design includes a wall mount, which is a separate component that the main detector unit attaches to.
The ES700SK2 is designed for straightforward user interaction. The installation process is described as simple, involving the attachment of a wall mount to a surface, followed by the insertion of batteries into the detector unit, and finally, mounting the detector onto the wall mount. This modular design facilitates easy installation and potential replacement or maintenance. The device features an "ALARM" indicator, likely an LED or a similar visual cue, to signify an alarm state. There is also a "MUTE" button, which suggests the ability to temporarily silence the alarm, a common feature in smoke detectors to manage nuisance alarms (e.g., from cooking smoke). A "POWER" indicator is also visible, which would typically show the operational status of the device, such as battery level or active state. The overall design appears to be compact and unobtrusive, blending into typical indoor environments.
Maintenance primarily revolves around battery replacement. The manual explicitly states that the user must insert two batteries at the rear side of the detector, where the label is located. This indicates that battery replacement is a user-serviceable task and is likely the most frequent maintenance activity required. The design with a separate wall mount suggests that the detector unit can be easily detached from the wall for battery changes or other maintenance without needing to remove the entire mounting fixture. The presence of a "POWER" indicator would assist users in monitoring the battery status, prompting them when replacement is necessary. Regular testing of the smoke detector, as is standard practice for such devices, would also be a key maintenance activity, though the manual does not detail how to perform a test. The "MUTE" button might also serve a dual purpose as a test button, a common design choice in many smoke detectors.
