OPERATION
The FireFighter sensor is designed to listen to any smoke, carbon, or combo
detector. It is one of the e-Series devices from Nortek Security & Control providing
enhanced security with encrypted communications to the control panel using
the 345Mhz frequency. Once confirmed as an alarm, it will transmit a signal to
the alarm control panel which, if connected to a central monitoring station, 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 (See Image 1)
Install battery (packaged separately) into FireFighter sensor base with correct
polarity.
ENROLLING (See Image 2)
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 Image 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.
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 panel zone type as either “CARBON MONOXIDE” (type 14).
The equipment code is “2069” for 2GIG systems See Image 3 for location of learn
button.
CLOSING SENSOR (See Image 3)
After battery is installed and sensor is Enrolled, close sensor as shown in Image3
and fasten together with two (2) screws (packaged separately).
MOUNTING (See Images 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 Image 5.
WARNING: Non-interconnected smoke detectors require an
audio detector by each smoke detector sounder.
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.
