TESTING
To test the RF transmission from the mounted position you can either generate a tamper by removing the cover
or press the learn button located next to the tamper switch. Press and release ONCE to send a Smoke signal or
press and HOLD for 2 seconds to send a Carbon signal. To test the audio detection, press and hold the smoke
detector test button. Press and hold the smoke detector button for at least 30 seconds to ensure that
FireFighter™ has had sufficient time to identify the smoke alarm pattern and lock into alarm. Ensure the
FireFighter™ cover is on and that you wear hearing protection.
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.
LED
The Firefighter™ is equipped with a multi-color LED. When a valid audio signal is heard the LED will
turn red and flash in sequence to the smoke detector sounder. When the Firefighter™ has determined
the audio signal heard is a valid alarm, the LED will turn solid green to indicate it has transmitted to
the panel. The LED will blink yellow following the detected alarm tone. On power up, the LED will
blink red to show which mode it is in, once for smoke only, twice for smoke + CO detection mode.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the battery:
1) Remove the FireFighter™ from installation location by sliding the unit off the wall/ceiling mount in
the direction indicated on the FireFighter™ Cover.
2) Unscrew the two screws on the back of the FireFighter™. Remove the top cover by depressing the
friction tab in order to reveal the battery. This will send a tamper signal to the control panel.)
3) Replace with a Panasonic CR123A battery ensuring the + side of the battery faces as indicated on
the device.
4) Re-attach the cover, you should hear a click when the cover engages properly. Then replace the
screws removed in step 2.
5) Replace the on the mounting plate from step 1.
WARNING: While the audio detector monitors its own battery, it does not monitor the battery in the
smoke detectors. Batteries should be changed as per the original smoke detector manufacturer’s
instructions. Always test the audio detector and smoke alarms after battery installation to confirm
proper operation
