INTERCONNECTING SMOKE ALARMS
• This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11
other Firex model FADC, AD and ADC smoke alarms, or as
many as 6 Firex model ADH heat alarms for a total of not more
than 18 interconnected devices. DO NOT connect to any other
type or model smoke alarm.
• Connect smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local
codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both
phases.
RED AND GREEN LED INDICATORS
This smoke alarm features separate red and green LED indicators.
The LEDs indicate the following:
GREEN LED
CONSTANT ON — AC power is present.
OFF — AC power is not present.
RED LED — Can be seen through the
Push-to-Test button.
Blinks once a minute — Indicating presence of a work-
ing battery.
Blinks once a second — Smoke alarm senses smoke
and simultaneously sounds
an audible alarm.
Blinks once every 10 seconds — Smoke alarm is quieting an
unwanted alarm (Model ADC
only).
(Interconnected system only):
OFF — Another smoke alarm in the network has sensed
smoke and is signalling this alarm.
FALSE ALARM CONTROL
Model ADC features a False Alarm Control that, when activated,
quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.
To use the False Alarm Control:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The
alarm should stop within ten seconds. This means the smoke
alarm is in False Alarm Control.
