The GN-503 (120VAC/9VDC) Series of combination photoelectric smoke and electrochemical sensor carbon monoxide alarms are for use as evacuation devices in all dwelling units, including but not limited to homes, apartments, hospitals, hotels, motels and other commercial occupancies. The GN-503 Series is listed in compliance with ANSI/UL 217, ANSI/UL 2034, for installation per NFPA 720 and NFPA 72.

Available in three models, the GN-503 Series is engineered to virtually eliminate nuisance alarms and deliver outstanding performance wherever reliable smoke and CO protection is required. The GN-503F features one (1) set of Form A/Form C contacts that activate for smoke and/or CO events. The GN-503FF features two (2) sets of Form A/Form C contacts that activate independently for smoke and CO events. Both the GN-503F and GN-503FF provide a connection to a protected premises alarm system to provide a supervisory/ trouble signal.

The GN-503 Series is provided with a 9VDC alkaline battery for electrical back-up in the event building power is lost. The battery impedance is verified and the alarm provides a low or missing battery warning. The battery drawer provides easy replacement without removing the unit from the wall or ceiling.

The GN-503 Series is designed with a self test feature that quickly notifies if the alarm is functioning properly or needs attention (signified by a series of chirps) by simply pressing the test button. The functionality tests that the smoke/CO alarm is operating properly (signified by going into alarm). The self and functionality tests are in compliance with NFPA 72, NFPA 720 and ANSI/UL Standards.

The GN-503 Series provides a temporal 3 evacuation tone for smoke alarm annunciation and all units provide a temporal 4 tone for CO alarm annunciation. Per NFPA 720, the temporal 3 evacuation tone for smoke alarm will take precedence over the temporal 4 tone for CO alarm.
