Vivint Smoke and CO Alarm Monitor
(EC-FF345)
Quick Reference (User Manual – Install & Operation)
The Vivint Smoke and CO Alarm Monitor is designed to listen for any single alarm
from any smoke, carbon, or combo alarm next to which it is installed. Once an
alarm is confirmed, the monitor will transmit a signal to the control panel. When
the system is connected to Vivint Monitoring, personnel, after verifying the signal,
will dispatch the fire department.
WARNING: This alarm monitor is intended only as a listening device with a smoke,
CO, or combo alarm; it does not itself detect the presence of smoke, heat, or fire.
Enrolling (see Image 1)
To enroll the monitor, set your panel into program mode (refer to your instruction manual for details). For panels with an
automatic learn feature, press and release the learn button next to the tamper switch. Do NOT use the tamper switch to enroll.
1. To enroll for fire alarm monitoring, add a wireless zone and set panel into LEARN mode. Quickly press and release the
learn button. This uses the 7-digit TXID (transmission ID) printed on the device. Add the device to the system using
Loop 1 and program the panel zone type as either "FIRE" (type 09) or "FIRE WITH VERIFICACTION" (type 16).
2. To enroll for CO alarm monitoring, add a wireless zone and set panel into LEARN mode. Press and hold the learn
button for longer than 2 seconds. This uses the CO listening TXID that is one higher than the one printed on the device.
Add the device to the system using Loop 1 and program the panel zone type as "CARBON MONOXIDE" (type 14).
3. Alternatively, the TXID can be manually entered into the panel. The number printed on the device is the TXID number
for the smoke alarm detection portion, while the CO portion is one number higher. For example, if the TXID printed on
the device is 034 5748, that is the correct TXID for smoke, while 034 5749 is the TXID for CO.
Mounting (see Images 2 & 3)
Before mounting the monitor, verify that the smoke and/or CO alarm is not expired. Never install the monitor next to an expired
alarm. Included with the monitor is a mounting bracket, hardware, and double-sided tape. For proper operation, make sure the
side with the small holes is directly facing the sounder holes on the alarm. Secure the bracket to the wall or ceiling using the two
screws and double-sided tape provided, then secure the audio monitor to the bracket using the small screw provided.
IMPORTANT: The monitor must be mounted within 6" of the smoke and/or CO alarm to ensure proper operation.
WARNING: Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair
service is to be provided with this equipment. Owner's instruction notice (located on smoke and CO alarms; not on the monitor):
'Not to be removed by anyone except occupant'.
Testing (see Image 1)
During the first hour after power up (i.e., any time the batteries are replaced), the Smoke and CO Alarm Monitor is in test mode.
This allows you to use the test button on the smoke, CO, or combo alarm to test the system. After the first hour, the monitor
requires at least two valid sound patterns from the alarm device in order to validate an alarm (which may not be possible via the
alarm's test button). To test the RF transmission you can either generate a tamper by removing the cover, or press the learn
button inside the device. This will send a signal to the panel. To test the audio detection and confirm that the device will send
alarm signals to the monitoring station in the event of an alarm, press and hold the alarm's test button.
If you are using zone type 16 (Fire with Verification), you must press & hold the alarm button for at least 30 seconds to ensure
the monitor has sufficient time to identify the alarm pattern and lock into alarm. Repeat for a CO (or combo) device if applicable.
For combo devices, the alarm will typically sound the smoke temporal pattern, then the CO temporal pattern. In test mode the
monitor will detect both, and send two transmissions to the panel. Ensure the cover is on, and that you wear hearing protection.
NOTE: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once every three (3) years. Please test the unit once per
week to ensure proper functionality.
