Nice FireFighter 2GIG-FF-345 Manual

AUDIO DETECTOR
OPERATION
The FireFighter sensor is designed to listen to any smoke, carbon, or
combo detector. Once confirmed as an alarm, it will transmit a signal to the
alarm control panel which, if connected to a central monitoring station, the
FireFighter will dispatch the fire department.
WARNING: This audio detector is intended only for use with smoke,
carbon and combo detectors but it does not detect the presence of
smoke, carbon, heat or fire directly.
INSTALL BATTERY
Install battery (packaged separately) into FireFighter sensor base with correct
polarity.

ENROLLING
To enroll the sensor, set your panel into program mode. Refer to your specific
alarm panel instruction manual for details on these menus. For control panels
with an automatic learn feature press and release the Learn button located in
the center of the circuit board next to the tamper switch. Do not use the tamper
switch to enroll FireFighter. Alternatively, the serial number can be manually
entered into the panel. The number printed on the device is the serial number
for the smoke detection portion, whereas for the CO portion, you simply add
one (1) to that number. See Figure 1 above for location of Learn button.
• To enroll for fire signal detection, press and release the Learn button.
Repeat as required. This uses Loop 1 of the serial number printed on
the device. Program the sensor on the panel as sensor type 24-Hour
Fire (09)
• To enroll for Carbon Monoxide signal detection, press the Learn button
for 2 seconds. Repeat as required. This uses Loop 1 of the serial
number plus 1. Program the sensor type on the panel as 24-Hour Carbon
Monoxide (14).
The equipment code is "1069" for 2GIG systems See Figure 3 for location of
Learn button.
CLOSING SENSOR (see Figure 3)
After battery is installed and sensor is Enrolled, close sensor as shown in
Figure 3 and fasten together with two (2) screws (packaged separately).
MOUNTING (see Figures 4 & 5)
Included with this device is a mounting bracket, hardware and double sided
tape. For proper operation ensure the side of the device with the small holes is
directly facing the sounder holes on the smoke detector. Secure the mounting
bracket to the wall or ceiling using the two mounting screws or double sided
tape provided. Secure the sensor to the mounting bracket by sliding tabs into
base of sensor. FireFighter must be mounting within 6 inches of the detector
for optimal operation as shown in Figure 5.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with Chapter 2 of
the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection
Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269).Printed information
describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance, evacuation
planning, and repair service is to be provided with this equipment. Warning:
Owner's instruction notice: 'Not to be removed by anyone except occupant.

TESTING
During the first hour after powering up, the FireFighter is in test mode. This
allows you to use the Test button on the Smoke, CO or Combo unit to test
the system. After the first hour, the FireFighter requires at least two valid
patterns from the detector to validate the alarm, which may not be possible
via the detector Test button. To test the audio detection, press and hold
the detector's Test button for at least 30 seconds to ensure that FireFighter
has had sufficient time to identify the alarm pattern and lock into alarm. For
combo units, the detector will typically sound the smoke temporal then the
CO temporal pattern. In test mode, the FireFighter will detect both and send
two transmissions to the panel. Ensure the FireFighter sensor cover is on and
that you wear hearing protection.
• NOTE: It is possible that FireFighter can hear other detectors in close
proximity so it is important to choose and to install the FireFighter close
to a detector that is relatively isolated from other detectors of the same
type. If this is not possible, FireFighter will still function, however it will take
longer to register and transmit an alarm to the panel. Detectors to avoid are
typically ones mounted in hallways outside of bedrooms that will also have
additional detectors nearby.
• 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.
