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 communicaons to the control panel using
the 345Mhz frequency. Once conrmed as an alarm, it will transmit a signal to
the alarm control panel which, if connected to a central monitoring staon, will
dispatch the re 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 re directly.
INSTALL BATTERY (See Image 1)
Install baery (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 specic
alarm panel instrucon manual for details on these menus. For control panels
with an automac learn feature press and release the “Learn” buon located in
the center of the circuit board next to the tamper switch. Do not use the tamper
switch to enroll FireFighter. Alternavely, the serial number can be manually
entered into the panel. The number printed on the device is the serial number for
the smoke detecon poron, whereas for the CO poron, you simply add one (1)
to that number. See Image 1 above for locaon of learn buon.
• To enroll for re signal detecon, press and release the learn buon. Repeat
as required. This uses Loop 1 of the serial number printed on the device.
To enroll for Carbon Monoxide signal detecon, press the learn buon 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 locaon of learn
buon.
CLOSING SENSOR (See Image 3)
Aer baery 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 mounng bracket, hardware and double sided
tape. For proper operaon ensure the side of the device with the small holes is
directly facing the sounder holes on the smoke detector. Secure the mounng
bracket to the wall or ceiling using the two mounng screws or double sided tape
provided. Secure the sensor to the mounng bracket by sliding tabs into base of
sensor. FireFighter must be mounng within 6 inches of the detector for opmal
operaon 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
Naonal Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (Naonal Fire Protecon Associaon,
Baery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269).Printed informaon describing proper
installaon, operaon, tesng, maintenance, evacuaon planning, and repair
service is to be provided with this equipment. Warning: Owner’s instrucon
noce: ’Not to be removed by anyone except occupant.’
TESTING
During the rst hour aer powering up, the FireFighter is in test mode. This allows
you to use the test buon on the Smoke, CO or Combo unit to test the system.
Aer the rst hour, the FireFighter requires at least two valid paerns from the
detector to validate the alarm, which may not be possible via the detector test
buon. To test the audio detecon, press and hold the detector’s test buon for
at least 30 seconds to ensure that FireFighter has had sucient me to idenfy
the alarm paern and lock into alarm. For combo units, the detector will typically
sound the smoke temporal then the CO temporal paern. 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 protecon.
✓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 relavely isolated from other detectors of
the same type. If this is not possible, FireFighter will sll funcon,
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 addional detectors nearby.
✓NOTE: This system must be checked by a qualied technician at
least once every three (3) years. Please test the unit once per week
to ensure proper funconality.

Legacy Smoke Detectors
All Smoke detectors should be replaced aer 10 years. If you encounter a smoke
detector that does not support Temporal 3 paern, that smoke detector should
be replaced as per the manufacturer recommendaon. If replacement is not an
opon, the FireFighter can be programmed to detect non-temporal detectors.
In this mode, the FireFighter must not be located near any other audible device,
like a security keypad or sounder. Those can be misconstrued as a valid smoke
alarm. To enter this mode, press and hold the tamper switch while inserng the
baery. Release the tamper switch and note the LED. Repeang this acon will
switch the FireFighter operang mode from one to the other.
You can verify the mode FireFighter is in by simply removing the baery and
replacing it. The LED will ash once or twice depending on the mode it is in.
ONE ash: Only Temporal 3 and 4 signal will trigger an alarm (Default).
TWO ashes: Generic listening mode. Will trigger aer 30 seconds of connuous
sounding.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the baery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the
baery:
1. Slide Sensor in direcon of arrow to remove from mounng plate. (See Image 6).
2. Remove 2 screws from sensor base. Remove the top cover to reveal the
baery. This will send a tamper signal to the control panel.
3. Replace with a Panasonic CR123A baery ensuring the + side of the baery
faces as indicated on the device.(See Image 1).
4. Re-aach the cover, you should hear a click when the cover engages properly.
Re-install the two screws holding the sensor together.
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 conrm proper operation.

Disclaimer
The Fireghter sensor does not detect the presence of smoke, heat, or re directly. It relies
solely on the presence of an audio alarm signal generated by an exisng smoke or re detector
in proximity to the Fireghter sensor to make such a determinaon. The Fireghter™ sensor
must be used with smoke detectors cered according to UL Standards, and in strict accordance
with the installaon and operaon instrucons provided with such detectors. It is the owner’s
responsibility to ensure that smoke or re detectors used in conjuncon with the Fireghter
sensor are maintained and tested on a regular basis in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instrucons. Nortek Security and Control expressly disclaims any responsibility for the failure of
the Fireghter sensor to detect the presence of smoke or re due to the failure of any smoke
or re detector used in conjuncon with the Fireghter sensor to operate properly due to any
condion, including improper installaon, operaon, maintenance or tesng of such smoke or
re detector.
