OPERATION
The audio detector sensor is designed to listen to the alarm sounder of any smoke detector. 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 detectors but it does not detect the presence of smoke, heat, or fire directly.
ENROLLING (
see IMAGE: 1
)
To enroll the sensor, set your panel into sensor learn mode. Refer to your specific alarm panel instruction manual for details on these menus. To
trigger a transmission from the sensor, press the learn button or tamper switch on the detector when prompted by the panel. For some panels, you
may need to manually enter the serial number, which is printed on the back of each unit. Program the zone to use sensor group 26 and ensure
the Fire Verify reporting option is enabled.
MOUNTING (
see IMAGE: 2 & 3
)
Included with this device is a mounting bracket, hardware and double sided tape. To ensure 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 and double sided tape provided, then secure the audio detector to the mounting bracket using the small screw
provided.
The detector must be mounted within 6 inches of the detector for optimal operation.
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, Batterymarch 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 (
see IMAGE: 1
)
To test the RF transmission from the mounted position you can either generate a tamper by removing the cover or press the learn button within
the device. This will send a signal to the control panel. To test the audio detection, press and hold the smoke detector test button. If you have
enabled the Fire Verify reporting option, the sensor will need to stay in alarm for at least one minute for the panel to verify it as an alarm and
communicate to the central station. Ensure the cover is on during this test 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 detector is equipped with a multi-color LED. When a valid audio signal is heard the LED will turn yellow and flash in sequence to the smoke
detector sounder. When the detector has determined the audio signal heard is a valid alarm, the LED will turn red to indicate it has transmitted
to the panel. It will also turn red when the case is opened to indicate a tamper transmission to the control panel. On power up the LED will also
flash red then green as part of its power up cycle.
Insert Battery = One RED blink, then one GREEN blink
In frequency sound detected = Flash YELLOW for the duration of that sound
Fire Alarm detected = Solid RED for 3 seconds, then blink RED when tone detected
Tamper = Solid RED for three second
Learn button pressed = Solid GREEN for 3 seconds
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the battery:
1.
Remove the top cover to reveal the battery. This will send a tamper signal to the control panel.
2.
Replace with a Panasonic CR123A battery ensuring the + side of the battery faces as indicated on the device.
3.
Re-attach the cover, you should hear a click when the cover engages properly.
WARNING:
While the audio detector monitors its own battery, it does not monitor the battery in the smoke detectors. Batteries should be
