The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting fast, flaming fires which 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 are designed to provide adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire the benefits of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine in one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.

SMOKE ALARM FEATURES

•Model ADC features a False Alarm Control which, when acti- vated, quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.

•This smoke alarm is powered by 120V AC 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 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.

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

•Unique “battery missing” lockout. The smoke alarm will not attach to the mounting bracket if a battery is not in the battery pocket.

•Improperly connected or weak battery signal. The smoke alarm will sound a short beep about once a minute if the battery is weak or improperly connected.

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

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

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

•Test button checks smoke alarm operation. Model ADC also features a False Alarm Control which, when activated, quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.

INSTRUCTIONS

!W A R N I N G

•This smoke alarm requires constant 120-volt, AC power AND a working 9-volt battery to operate properly. This smoke alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is not connected or has failed or been interrupted for any reason AND the battery is removed, drained or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other kind of battery except as specified in this manual. DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other type of smoke alarm or auxiliary device, except those listed in this manual.

•DO NOT remove or disconnect battery or turn off AC power to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your protection. Open windows or fan the air around smoke alarm to silence it. Model ADC smoke alarms feature a False Alarm Control button which, when activated, will quiet unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.
