INTERCONNECTING HEAT ALARMS
• This heat alarm is interconnectable to a maximum of 18 alarms, no more
than 12 of which can be smoke alarms. This alarm can be interconnect-
ed only with Firex devices. It is interconnectable with Firex models ADH
(5700 Series), G-6 (406 Series), G-18 (418 Series), PG (484 Series), ADC
(4518 Series), FADC (4618 / 5000 Series), TPCI (4671 Series), COE
(10000 Series), COEA (10400 Series), FADCM (12000 Series), and GCM
(12400 Series). It is NOT interconnectable with the Firex model FXW-R
(428 Series).
• Connect heat alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not
p e rmit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
RED AND GREEN LED INDICATORS
This heat alarm features separate red and green LED indicators. The LEDs
indicate the following:
GREEN LED
Constant on — AC power is present.
OFF — AC power is not present.
RED LED
can be seen through the Push-to-Test button.
Blinks once a minute — indicates presence of a working battery.
Blinks once a second — heat alarm senses heat and simultaneously
sounds an audible alarm.
OFF — DC power is not present.
OFF and unit is sounding alarm — An interconnected smoke/heat alarm in
the network has sensed smoke or heat.
TESTING THE HEAT ALARM
W A R N I N G
• Test each heat alarm and smoke alarm in the network to be sure it is
installed correctly and operating properly.
• Stand at arm’s length from the heat alarm when testing. The alarm horn
is loud to alert you to an emergency and can be harmful to hearing.
• Test heat alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation or when no
one has been in the household for several days.
Test all heat alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Observe the green LED. A constant green light indicates the heat alarm
is receiving 120V AC power.
2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five (5) seconds. The
heat alarm will sound a loud beep about 4 times a second. The alarm
may sound for up to 10 seconds after releasing the Push-to-Test but-
ton.
