I just found a video on it, It looks very big

It's not that heavy, by the way, it was manufactured in the 70's-80's (I'm unsure of the exact year as by the 90's Smoke detectors were already much more compact than this).Stag wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:59 pmHoly cow that is one truly impressive monster of an alarm! It looks like it'd be really heavy.. the one I recall seeing did look very similar to this in regards to the color and style, I bet this is about the same time period of manufacturing. That's awesome to see. If you can imagine something like this alarm, but the circular part of it being about twice as large in circumference and extending downwards by a ridiculously long amount, almost like a cylindrical Smokegard 700 even, then that's pretty much it exactly.
Your detector is likely an ESL 611UT. I won one, however this is not my picture:Stag wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:28 amWow! Yeah I think I would say that the ademco 5808 is the closest I've seen to the sheer scale of the thing as I remember it so far
To help I decided to put my marginal mechanical drawing skills to the test and make a rough sketch of exactly what I remember seeing, I hope it helps:
None of this is exact, just as best as I can possibly recall!
