•This CO alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11 other Firex CO alarms or with as many as 12 Firex smoke alarms, and 5 CO or heat alarms for a total number of 18 units.
•This CO alarm may be interconnected with Firex models FADC, ADC, PAD and ADH smoke and heat alarms. DO NOT connect to any other model CO, smoke or heat alarm.
•Note that this CO alarm will not cause interconnected smoke and
heat alarms to sound their horn. This CO alarm will remain silent if inter- connected smoke and heat alarms are sounding even if there is a build- up of CO.
• Connect CO and smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local
codes do not permit connection to a | FIGURE 6 |
single AC branch circuit, be sure the |
|
neutral wire is common to all circuits used. |
