OPERATION
The FireFighter™ sensor is designed to listen to any smoke, carbon or combo 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, carbon and combo detectors but it does not
detect the presence of smoke, heat, or fire directly.
ENROLLING
(
see
IMAGE: 1
)
Manual Enroll Mode:
There are 2 sequential serial numbers printed on the FF2 case, the first serial # is to be used if you intend to monitor for
SMOKE and second for CARBON. By way of example
432565 (SERIAL # for Smoke)
432566 (SERIAL # for Carbon)
Test for Correct Placement:
Step 1: Insert the battery: The 1
st
hour of power up allows easy testing via the test button on a Smoke, Carbon or
Combo detector. After 1 hour it goes into a more stringent detection mode requiring multiple Temporal 3 or
Temporal 4 patterns before it transmits.
Step 2: Mount the Firefighter within 6 Inches of the Smoke, Carbon or Combo detector. Make sure the audio
microphone (Side with the holes in it) is pointed to the Smoke, Carbon or Combo sounder. Press and HOLD the test
button on the Smoke, Carbon or Combo detector. When the detector starts beeping the LED on the Firefighter will
track Temporal 3 and or Temporal 4 patterns and transmit accordingly. The LED should be ON whenever the detector
‘Chirps’. If not, move the Firefighter closer to the detector. Use screws or provided double sided tape once you verify
that the FF2 is tracking the sound of the detector.
***** It is possible that the FF2 can hear other smoke detectors in close proximity so it is important to choose and to
install the FF2 close to a detector that is properly tracking and not hearing other detectors. FF2 is designed to work
even if it hears other detectors but preferred install is close to a single detector. Typically smokes mounted in hallways
could have an additional detector mounted in a close bedroom, simply verify that it is properly tracking and
transmitting a signal to the panel when detector is triggered.
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
FireFighter™ must be mounting 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’.
