To Temporarily Silence An Alarm; Latching Led Alarm Indicator; If The Alarm Sounds - Firex FADCM User Manual

If Your Smoke Alarm Sounds (and you are not testing it)
IF BOTH RED LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND THE HORN SOUNDS 3 ALARMS
APPROXIMATELY EVERY FOUR SECONDS, IT INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF
SMOKE WHICH CAN INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF FIRE.
YOU MUST QUICKLY DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Don't panic; stay calm.
2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors with the back of your hand
to feel if they are hot before opening them. IF DOOR IS HOT USE AN ALTERNATE
EXIT. Crawl along the floor, and DO NOT stop to collect anything.
3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.
4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.
5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING.
If Your CO Alarm Sounds (and you are not testing it)
Carbon Monoxide has no taste, feel or smell – but it can be FATAL.
IF 1 RED LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE HORN SOUNDS 4 ALARMS APPROXI-
MATELY EVERY FIVE SECONDS, IT INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CO WHICH
CAN BE FATAL. YOU MUST QUICKLY DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Operate Test/Reset button;
2. Call your emergency services [fire department or 911]
3. Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door/window. Make
certain that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises or move
away from the open door/window until the emergency services have arrived, the
premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1 - 3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat
steps 1 - 3 and call a qualified appliance technician (__________________) to inves-
tigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to inspect
for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this
inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equip-
ment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers' instructions
or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and
this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operat-
ing in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
If the CO alarm sounds its alarm horn again, it has sensed CO. This is not a
false alarm.

TO TEMPORARILY SILENCE AN ALARM

NOTE: These features temporarily quiet alarms, but do not disable the sensor.
When you push the Smart Button during an alarm,
one of three things will happen:
1. All interconnected alarms are
silenced. This means you pushed
the button on the unit that actually
triggered alarm. (Quick Quiet™ False
Alarm Control)
2. One unit still sounding an alarm;
the rest are silenced. The unit that
triggered alarm continues to sound
so you can identify the remote source
of the alarm. (Smart Quiet™ Trigger
Alarm Locator)
Quick Quiet ™
Smart Quiet
These features help you identify the trigger alarm(s) and areas of immediate
danger to avoid under alarm conditions. If a dangerous condition persists ALL UNITS
WILL GO BACK INTO ALARM AFTER ONE MINUTE; all alarms will sound for 10
seconds, then just the initiating alarm will sound for 50 seconds. This 10-second/50-
second alarm pattern will keep repeating until the air is cleared and the
immediate danger has passed. MOVE AWAY from areas where you hear trigger
alarms sounding if at all possible. DO NOT IGNORE the trigger alarm(s), and be
aware that an extremely dangerous situation exists at that location(s) in your home.

Latching LED Alarm Indicator

The Latching LED Alarm Indicator activates automatically, and helps you identify the
original trigger alarm(s) in an interconnected series after a smoke or CO event.
Smoke Alarm - after a smoke alarm condition, the two RED lights on the triggering
alarm(s) blink 3 times every 10 seconds until manually reset.
CO Alarm - after a CO alarm condition, the single RED light on the triggering alarm(s)
blinks 3 times every 10 seconds until manually reset.
Smart Quiet™ for Low Battery Alert
You can silence the Low Battery Alert for up to 10 hours by pressing and releasing the
Smart Button. The sensor remains active. This allows you and your family to go back
to sleep or gives you time to purchase a replacement battery. It is important that you
replace the battery as soon as possible to continue your protection!
