•
This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as
11 other Firex model AD, ADC and PAD smoke alarms, or as
many as 6 Firex model ADH heat alarms for a total of not more
than 18 interconnected devices. DO NOT connect to any other
type or model smoke alarm.
•
Connect smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local
codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both
phases.

RED AND GREEN LED INDICATORS

This smoke alarm features separate red and green LED indicators.
The LEDs indicate the following:
GREEN LED
ON — AC power is present.
OFF — AC power is not present.
RED LED
Blinks once a minute
Blinks once a second
Blinks once every 10 seconds — smoke alarm is quieting an
Blinks 3 times per minute
Blinks 4 times per minute
(Interconnected system only):
OFF — another smoke alarm in the network has sensed
smoke and is signalling this alarm.

FALSE ALARM CONTROL

Model ADC features a False Alarm Control that, when activated,
quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.
To use the False Alarm Control:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The
alarm should stop within ten seconds. This means the smoke alarm
is in False Alarm Control. In an interconnected system, the red LED
on the initiating alarm will continue to blink until reset by pressing
the TEST button.
If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control and contin-
ues to sound its loud alarm horn, or if it initially goes into False Alarm
Control then resounds the alarm, the smoke is too heavy and could
be a possibly dangerous situation — take emergency action.
