Led Indicators - Firex FADC Manual

10. Position smoke alarm to mounting plate and turn clockwise to
lock into place. For tamper-resist, use long-nosed pliers to
remove thin plastic from notch on smoke alarm edge. Insert
pin into notch on edge of smoke alarm after smoke alarm is
positioned properly in base.
11. Remove arrow tab and close battery door. Smoke alarm may
beep briefly as door is closed.
12. Turn on power at main fuse box or circuit breaker.
13. Test smoke alarm. See "TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM."
INTERCONNECTING SMOKE ALARMS
•
Use #18 AWG minimum solid or stranded wire. When intercon-
necting, maximum wire length between any two is 1,500 feet for
#18 AWG or 4,000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS loop resistance).
•
This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11
other Firex model FADC, AD, ADC, PAD or FX1218 smoke
alarms, and as many as 6 Firex model ADH heat alarms for a
total of not more than 18 interconnected devices. DO NOT con-
nect 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.
Model FADC features one combined LED indicator. The following
section explains what condition the LED indicator is describing:
• Constant GREEN on
• GREEN is off
• RED blinks once a minute
• RED blinks once a second
• RED blinks once every 10
seconds
• RED is off and detector in alarm - another smoke alarm in the
(interconnected systems only)
Item 5000 only
• RED blinks 3 times every minute - indicates this unit initiated an alarm
• RED blinks 4 times every minute - indicates weak or improperly
preceded by an audible chirp
