Photoelectric alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires that smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. Ionization alarms are generally more effec- tive at detecting fast, flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste container.

However, both types of alarms provide adequate detection of both types of fires.

If you desire the earliest detection of both smoldering fires and fast flaming fires, you should install smoke alarms that combine both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies in one unit.

•This smoke alarm is powered by 120V AC (0.05 Amps, 60Hz) and a 9-volt battery back-up source. AC/DC smoke alarms offer added protection in the event of a power failure or a drained battery.

•Unique power connector prevents interconnection with incompatible smoke alarms or security systems.

•This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11 addi- tional Firex model AD, ADC, PAD, FADC and FPAD smoke alarms, and/or as many as 6 Firex model ADH heat alarms for a total of not more than 18 interconnected devices.

•Optional tamper-resist feature can serve as a safeguard against tampering.

•Unique “battery missing” lockout. The smoke alarm battery door will not close if a battery is not in the battery pocket.

•Separate green and red LEDs indicate that the smoke alarm is receiving AC power, working under normal operation, or in alarm.

•Loud alarm horn—85 decibels at 10 feet—sounds to alert you to an emergency.

•This alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three short beeps followed by a 2 second pause and then repeats. This pat- tern is somewhat different than the previous alarm sound, which continually beeped.

•Test button checks smoke alarm operation.
