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.
