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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

•

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.

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.
