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.
SMOKE ALARM FEATURES
Model ADC features a False Alarm Control™ which, when activated,
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 AD, ADC, FX1218 and PAD 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 safeguard against tampering.
Unique “battery missing” signal. 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 whether the smoke alarm is
receiving AC and DC power, working under normal operation, in alarm,
or under false alarm control.
Loud alarm horn—85 decibels at 10 feet—alerts you of an emergency.
Test button checks smoke alarm operation.
