If The Co Alarm Sounds - Firex FADCQ Manual

If Your CO Alarm Sounds (cont'd)
Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have
not been, operating 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.
POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO
IN YOUR HOME
It is important to be familiar with the poten-
tial sources of CO in your home. In the
event of an alarm, it will make it easier to
pinpoint and correct the problem.
Be aware of the proper uses for each device.
Have these devices serviced and cleaned reg-
ularly. Use common sense, and follow safety
and hazard instructions carefully whenever
using any of these devices.
BE AWARE OF COMMON SOURCES OF
CARBON MONOXIDE. Common sources of
carbon monoxide are furnaces, heating
devices, water heaters, gas stoves, kerosene
heaters, fireplaces, barbecues used indoors,
running motors or engines in attached
garages, and gasoline powered devices, such
as generators or pumps used in emergency
situations.
Individuals with medical problems may con-
sider using warning devices which provide
audible and visual signals for carbon monox-
ide concentrations under 30ppm.
WARNING
WARNING
If alarm horn sounds, and the combination
alarm is not being tested, the unit is sensing
either smoke or CO. THE SOUND OF THE
ALARM HORN REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION AND ACTION. Please read and
understand the following features to deter-
mine what you can do if the alarm sounds
unexpectedly.
Quick Quiet ™
and Smart Quiet
When the alarm(s) sound, pushing the Smart
Button on the nearest alarm activates either a
Quick Quiet™ False Alarm Control™ or Smart
Quiet™ response depending on the situation.
NOTE: These features temporarily quiet alarms,
but do not disable the sensor. They are
designed to give you time to evacuate the
building without the added noise of the alarm.
If you push the Smart Button on the alarm
sounding nearest to you...
1. And all alarms including the one you touched
silence, Quick Quiet™ has been activated. This
also means the unit nearest you is the trigger-
ing unit. Assess the situation around you and
take appropriate action.
2. And all alarms silence except one located else-
where in the building, the Smart Quiet™ has
been activated and has identified the triggering
alarm. This helps you identify the trigger
alarm(s) and areas of immediate danger to
avoid under alarm conditions.
