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.
