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.
