FAQs (Product Code ECO1003A)
Q1: Is the ECO1003A compatible with both 12V and 24V systems?
A1: Yes, the ECO1003A smoke detector operates effectively within a voltage range of 830VDC, making it fully compatible with both 12V and 24VDC fire alarm systems.
Q2: Does the ECO1003A comply with Australian standards?
A2: While primarily certified to EN54-7:2000 and MED standards, the ECO1003A is suitable for systems used in Australia and New Zealand, provided it is installed by a certified professional and paired with compatible fire control panels.
Q3: What test equipment is compatible with the ECO1003A?
A3: The ECO1003A can be tested using the ECO1000RTU laser-based Remote Test Unit. It allows alarm testing from several metres without triggering spurious alarms.
Q4: What base types can I use with the ECO1003A?
A4: A wide variety of bases are available including standard, diode, resistor (470), relay (12V/24V latching or non-latching), and deep base variants, allowing flexible installation across many fire panel brands.
Q5: How often should I service or clean the ECO1003A?
A5: Thanks to its advanced optical chamber and automatic drift compensation, the ECO1003A requires less frequent maintenance. However, annual inspections are still recommended to maintain peak performance.
