Overview The Black Box EME1S2-005 is a photoelectric smoke detector designed to provide early warning of smoldering fires, making it an essential safety device for offices, server rooms, and residential spaces. It detects slow-burning smoke more effectively than ionization detectors, helping to prevent fire damage before flames develop. The detector features a low-profile design for discreet ceiling installation and includes a loud 85 dB alarm to ensure alerts are heard clearly throughout the area. Equipped with a built-in LED status indicator, it allows for quick visual checks of its condition, while the tamper-resistant casing protects against accidental or intentional interference. Installation is simplified with a quick-fix mounting bracket, and its insect-proof construction helps reduce false alarms caused by small pests. The unit can operate on a 9-volt battery or integrate with the AlertWerks Environmental Monitoring System for flexible monitoring options. Key features Photoelectric sensor technology that detects smoldering fires early, improving safety in environments prone to slow-burning smoke Loud 85 dB alarm that provides a clear and unmistakable alert to occupants in the event of smoke detection LED status indicator for easy and immediate verification of the detector’s operational status without needing special tools Tamper-resistant design to prevent unauthorized access or accidental disconnection, ensuring continuous protection Quick-fix mounting bracket that streamlines installation and reduces setup time for both professionals and DIY users Insect-proof construction that minimizes false alarms caused by small insects entering the sensor area Dual power options with 9-volt battery operation or integration with the AlertWerks Hub for centralized environmental monitoring Key specs Detection type: Photoelectric smoke sensor Alarm sound level: 85 decibels Power source: 9-volt battery or AlertWerks Environmental Monitoring System integration Mounting: Ceiling mount with quick-fix bracket Design: Low-profile, tamper-resistant casing False alarm reduction: Insect-proof construction Connectivity and compatibility This smoke detector is designed to work seamlessly with the AlertWerks Environmental Monitoring System, allowing centralized monitoring and alerts for multiple devices. It also functions independently on a 9-volt battery, providing flexibility for setups without networked monitoring. This makes it suitable for a variety of environments, from standalone residential use to integrated commercial safety systems. Installation and setup The quick-fix mounting bracket simplifies installation, making it easy to secure the detector to ceilings without specialized tools or extensive labor. Its low-profile design ensures it blends unobtrusively into most environments, while the tamper-resistant casing helps maintain security after installation. The option to power the unit via battery or system integration allows installers to choose the best setup for their specific needs. Ideal uses and environments This smoke detector is well suited to spaces where early detection of smoldering fires is critical, such as office buildings, server rooms, and residential areas. Its photoelectric sensor excels at identifying slow-burning smoke that might not trigger ionization detectors quickly. The loud alarm and clear status indicators make it a reliable choice for environments where safety and timely alerts are priorities.
