Enrolling (see Image 1)
To enroll the
monitor, set your panel into program mode (refer to your instruction manual for details). For panels with an
automatic learn feature
, press and release the learn button next to the tamper switch. Do NOT use the tamper switch to enroll.
1. To enroll for fire alarm monitoring, add a wireless zone and set panel into LEARN mode. Quickly press and release the
learn button. This uses the 7-digit TXID (transmission ID) printed on the device. Add the device to the system using
Loop 1 and program the panel zone type as either "FIRE" (type 09) or "FIRE WITH VERIFICACTION" (type 16).
2. To enroll for CO alarm monitoring, add a wireless zone and set panel into LEARN mode. Press and hold the learn
button for longer than 2 seconds
. This uses the CO listening TXID that is one higher than the one printed on the device.
Add the device to the system using Loop 1 and program the panel zone type as “CARBON MONOXIDE” (type 14).
3. Alternatively, the TXID can be manually entered into the panel. The number printed on the device is the TXID number
for the smoke alarm detection portion, while the CO portion is one number higher. For example, if
the TXID printed on
the device is 034 5748, that is the correct TXID for smoke, while 034 5749 is the TXID for CO.
The Vivint Smoke and CO
Alarm Monitor is designed to listen for any single alarm
from
any smoke, carbon, or combo alarm next to which it is installed. Once an
a
larm is confirmed, the monitor will transmit a signal to the control panel. When
the
system is connected to Vivint Monitoring, personnel, after verifying the signal,
will
dispatch the fire department.
WARNING:
This alarm monitor is intended only as a listening device with a smoke,
CO
, or combo alarm; it does not itself detect the presence of smoke, heat, or fire.
Mounting
(see Images 2 & 3)
Before mounting the monitor, verify that the smoke and/or CO alarm is not expired. Never install the monitor next to an expired
alarm.
Included with the monitor is a mounting bracket, hardware, and double-sided tape. For proper operation, make sure the
side with the small holes is directly facing the sounder holes on the
alarm.
Secure the bracket to the wall or ceiling using the two
screws and double
-sided tape provided, then secure the audio monitor to the bracket using the small screw provided.
IMPORTANT:
The monitor must be mounted within 6" of the smoke and/or CO alarm to ensure proper operation.
WARNING:
Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair
service is to be provided with this equipment. Owner’s instru
ction notice (located on smoke and CO alarms; not on the monitor)
:
'Not to be removed by anyone except occupant'.
Quick Reference (User Manual – Install & Operation)
Vivint Smoke and CO Alarm Monitor
(EC-FF345)
Testing (see Image 1)
During the first hour after power up
(i.e., any time the batteries are replaced), the Smoke and CO Alarm M
onitor is in test mode.
This allows you to
use the test button on the smoke, CO, or combo alarm to test the system. After the first hour, the monitor
requires at least two valid sound pa
tterns from the alarm device in order to validate an alarm (
which may not be possible via the
alarm
's test button). To test the RF transmission you can either generate a tamper by removing the cover, or press the learn
button
inside the device. This will send a signal to the panel. To test the audio detection and confirm that the device will send
alarm signals to the monitoring station in the event of a
n alarm, press and hold the alarm's test button.
If you are using zone type
16 (Fire with Verification), you must press & hold the alarm button for at least 30 seconds to ensure
the monitor has sufficient time to identify the alarm pattern and lock into alarm.
Repeat for a
CO (or combo) device if applicable.
For combo devices, th
e alarm will typically sound the smoke temporal pattern, then the CO temporal pattern. In test mode the
monitor will detect both, and send two transmissions to the panel.
Ensure the 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.

Smoke Alarms
All
smoke alarms should be replaced prior to the expiration date, or at least every 10 years. If you encounter an alarm that does
not support Temporal 3 pattern,
it should be replaced as per the manufacturer recommendation. If replacement is not an
option
, the monitor can be programmed to detect non-temporal alarms. In this mode, the monitor must not be located near
any other audible device, like
a security keypad or sounder, as those can be misconstrued as a valid smoke alarm. To enter
this mode
, press & hold the tamper switch while inserting the battery, then release the switch and note the LED behavior:
ONE flash: Only a Temporal 3 and Temporal 4 signal will trigger an alarm (Default).
TWO flashes: Generic listening mode (will trigger after 30 seconds of continuous 3K frequency sound).
NOTE:
You can always verify the mode by simply removing the battery and replacing it. The LED will flash once or twice
depending on the mode it is in.
Repeat the steps above to change the mode as required.

IMPORTANT
:The Vivint Smoke and CO Alarm Monitor does not detect the presence of smoke, heat, or fire directly. It relies solely on the presence of
an audio alarm signal generated by an existing smoke or fire
alarm in close proximity to the monitor to make such a determination. The monitor must
be used with
working smoke alarms certified according to UL Standards, and in strict accordance with the installation and operation instructions
provided with such
alarms. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that smoke or fire alarms used in conjunction with the monitor are maintained
and tested on a regular basis in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Vivint expressly disclaims any responsibility for the failure of the
monitor to detect the presence of smoke or fire due to the failure of any smoke or fire
alarm
used in conjunction with the monitor to operate properly
due to any condition, including improper installation, operation, maintenance or testing of such smoke or fire alarm.
