Firex FADCQ manual

•Latching LED: After the alarm condition is over, helps identify which unit in a linked series triggered an alarm. The Latching LED continues to identify the trigger alarm until it is manually reset by pressing the Smart Button. Can also help you identify a malfunctioning alarm in a series.

•Dual Ionization Smoke Chamber: Meets or exceeds UL/ULC standards. Generally faster at detecting fast-burning fires.

•Firex CO Sensor System: Improves safety. Sensor system reacts to CO most like the human body. Effectively simulates the gradual poisoning (accumulation) and detoxification of COHb in the blood stream.

•Smart Button: This one button is all you need to test the unit and operate features like Quick Quiet™, Smart Quiet™, and reset the Latching LED. It automatically activates the proper response to the alarm condition at the time you press it.

•Replacement: This combination Smoke/CO Alarm can be used as a replacement for all Firex Smoke and CO* alarms without addition- al wiring. Lets you easily upgrade from individ- ual smoke or CO alarm to a combination unit. *(Existing CO alarms may need to be replaced in interconnected systems.)

•Product Family Styling: All Firex alarms have a clean, consistent look in the home.

Installation Features/Benefits:

•Front Load Battery Compartment: Fast, safe and convenient! Change the battery with- out removing the alarm from the mounting bracket. Saves installation time, too.

•9V Alkaline Battery: Included with the alarm. UL/ULC Listed to provide a minimum of one year battery back-up and battery operation. With AC power applied, battery can be expected to last up to five years.

•Powerlink Tab: Keeps battery power from draining between alarm installation and homeowner move-in.

•Dust Cover: Protects the sensors from dust, dirt, fumes, or other common construction contaminants—which can contribute to false alarms—until the job is complete.

•Shared Bracket and Wire Leads: Lets you replace or move alarms around quickly and easily using the standard Firex smoke connector and mounting bracket.

Interconnect Features/Benefits:

•Interconnect: Linking units in a series broad- ens the coverage in a home, and can give resi- dents extra time to respond to the alert.

•Smart Interconnect: Saves cost of additional wiring by allowing smoke and CO alarms to share a single, smart interconnect wire. Installations can be done using just three wires: hot, neutral, and interconnect.

•DC Interconnect: Where allowed by code, lets you interconnect units which operate on battery power only in a cost-effective way. Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of a dangerous situation.
