The Ecolink(UEI) Wireless Audio Detector (FireFighter™) 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, which will dispatch the fire department.

Installation
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’.
TESTING
To test the RF transmission from the mounted position you can generate a tamper by removing the cove. This will send a signal to the control panel. To test the audio detection, press and hold the smoke detector test button.
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 BEHAVIOR
The Firefighter™ is equipped with a multi-color LED. When a valid audio signal is heard the LED will turn red and flash in sequence to the smoke detector sounder. When the Firefighter™ has determined the audio signal heard is a valid alarm, the LED will turn solid red to indicate it has transmitted to the panel. On power up, the LED will stay solid green for 2 seconds, then blink green 3 times every 5 seconds (approx.) when not enrolled with a panel.
