SMOKE ALARM DESCRIPTIONS
•
Model AD and ADC — Ionization type smoke alarm. This type of smoke
alarm responds fastest to fast burning fires with hot, open flame and
small or invisible smoke particles.
•
Model PAD — Photoelectric smoke alarm. Responds to slow burning,
visible smoke caused by smoldering fires. May reduce false/
nuisance alarms caused by cooking or high humidity.

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.

smoke alarms or security systems.

6 Firex model ADH heat alarms for a total of not more than 18
interconnected devices.

Optional tamper-resist feature can safeguard against tampering.
•
Unique “battery missing” signal. The smoke alarm will not attach to the

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.

receiving AC and DC power, working under normal operation, in alarm,
or under false alarm control.
