Alarm Horns - Audible alarms that alert residents to dangerous conditions. FireX ® alarms use separate and distinct horn patterns for smoke and CO alarms, sounding a minimum of 85 decibels at 10 feet.
Alarm Types
- Ionization Alarms: Smoke alarms that are generally more effective at detecting fast, flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources may include paper burning in a waste container or a grease fire in the kitchen.
- Photoelectric Alarms: Smoke alarms that are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires that smolder for hours before bursting into flame.Sources may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms: Detect the presence of CO in the air. The CO alarm monitors the CO concentration in the surrounding environment over time.
- Combination Alarms: Smoke and CO alarm combined in one unit. The FireX combo alarm features a dual ionization smoke chamber that quickly detects fast-burning or smoldering fires as well as a CO alarm that meets or exceeds UL/ULC standards for residential CO protection.
- Heat Alarms: Alarms that sense fire by air temperature, rather than responding to particulate matter, to avoid false alarms in spaces where airborne contaminants may be a problem.
Battery Back-up - This battery back-up feature keeps the alarm functional during a power failure.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) - Odorless, invisible gas that can build up to lethal concentrations either quickly or slowly over time, as the result of incomplete combustion.
FireX CO alarms with Monox® CO SensorTechnology
- True-Test™CO sensor: Monox alarms feature an exclusive sensor technology which verifies that the carbon monoxide sensor is working properly.
- Automatic Monthly Self-Test: This feature performs a silent internal system test to verify carbon monoxide sensor operation.
- True end of life replacement alert: Alerts you when the carbon monoxide sensor has reached its end of life, telling you it is time to replace your carbon monoxide alarm.
Dust Cover - A removable plastic shield that protects the alarm sensors from dust, dirt, fumes, or other common contaminants that can contribute to false alarms after home construction. Cover is removed once construction work is complete.
Front Load Battery Door - A product feature that allows for fast, safe and convenient battery changes, without removing the alarm from the mounting bracket.
Latching LED - After the alarm condition is over, a special LED light continues to identify the trigger alarm until it is manually reset by pressing the Smart Button. Can also help identify a malfunctioning alarm in a multi-alarm system.
Low Battery Warning - Visual and audible low battery alert that identifies a low battery before protection is lost. (In an interconnected series, helps identify the unit with low battery.)
Pre-installed battery with PowerLink™ Tab - FireX alarms are factory-assembled with the battery in order to speed installation; a special tab keeps battery power from draining between alarm installation and homeowner move-in.
Quick Connection Wiring Harness - Pigtail connection for quick, easy, and changeable installation.
Quick Quiet™ False Alarm Control Feature - Silences all but the trigger alarm(s) for up to 10 minutes.
Smart Quiet™ - A family of features that help improve safety.
- Quick Quiet™ False Alarm Control: Quiets the trigger alarm without losing protection. Speeds contractor inspection and eliminates unnecessary replacement of alarms misidentified as being inoperative.
- Smart Quiet™ Alarm Locator: Identifies areas of immediate danger, and allows calm evacuation without the distraction of all alarm horn(s) sounding.
- Smart Quiet™ Low Battery Alert: Lets residents silence chirp alarm and sleep without losing protection for up to 8 hours, and replace the battery in the morning.
Ramp-up Horn - Protects your hearing when testing the alarm by building up the decibel level slowly, giving you time to move away from the horn before the full alarm sequence begins.
Trigger Alarm - It identifies the initiating alarm in an interconnected system while the units are signaling an alarm.
