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.

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. •• NNFFPPAA 7722 aanndd NNFFPPAA 772200 •• IIBBCC//IIFFCC//IIRRCC •• CCiittyy && SSttaattee OOrrddiinnaanncceess//LLaawwss//RReegguullaattiioonnss •• QQuuaalliittyy MMaannaaggeemmeenntt SSyysstteemm iiss cceerrttiiffiieedd ttoo:: IISSOO 99000011::22000088 Product Compliance NN EE WW FF EE AA TT UU RR EE SS MMooddeell NNuummbbeerr VVoollttaaggee 99VVDDCC BBaatttteerryy BBaacckk--UUpp OOnnee ((11)) SSeett FFoorrmm AA// FFoorrmm CC RReellaayy CCoonnttaaccttss TTwwoo ((22)) SSeettss FFoorrmm AA// FFoorrmm CC RReellaayy CCoonnttaaccttss GN-503 120VAC GN-503F 120VAC GN-503FF 120VAC GN-503 AND GN-503F Wiring Diagrams GN-503 Series Combination Smoke/CO Alarm GN-503/GN-503F ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION THE GN-503F AND GN-503FF PRODUCT WIRING HARNESS IS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
