The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at
detecting fast, flaming fires which consume combustible
materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may
include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste container.
The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at
detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before
bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include
cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. However, both types
of alarms are designed to provide adequate detection of both
types of fires. If you desire the benefits of both systems, you
should install smoke alarms that combine in one alarm both
photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.

SMOKE ALARM FEATURES

Model PG40 and GC smoke alarms can be interconnected with as many

•

as 11 other specific model smoke alarms (Model G-6, as many as 5).
Model GC features False Alarm Control that temporarily

•

silences nuisance alarms.
Multi-purpose LED indicates that the smoke alarm is receiving

•

AC power, working under normal operation, or in alarm.
Loud alarm horn—85 decibels at 10 feet—sounds to alert you

•

to a fire emergency.
This alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn sig-

•

nal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three
short beeps followed by a 2 second pause and then repeats.
This pattern is somewhat different than the previous alarm
sound, which continually beeped.

Model FXW-R is a direct replacement for Firex models FX1014,

•

FX1020, FX1106, and FXW-1A. Model FXW-R cannot be inter­connected with any other smoke alarm.

Test button checks smoke alarm operation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION PLEASE

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

!

This smoke alarm requires constant 120-volt, AC power to operate. It

•

will not work if AC power is not connected or has failed or been interrupted
for any reason. DO NOT turn off AC power to quiet false alarms. Open win­dows or fan the air around smoke alarm to silence it.The Push-to-Test but­ton accurately tests all smoke alarm functions. DO NOT use any other test
method. Test smoke alarm weekly.We recommend you install smoke
alarms that operate from both battery and AC power.Having smoke alarms
that work from two different power sources can give extra protection in case
of a dead battery or an AC power failure.If you have repeated false alarms,
move the smoke alarm to a different location, or install specialized smoke
alarms with a False Alarm Control or a photoelectric sensor.

This smoke alarm should be installed only by a licensed, quali-

•

fied electrician. Observe and follow all local and national electrical
and building codes for installation.

This smoke alarm is designed to be used INSIDE a single family

•

household only. In multi-family buildings, each individual living unit
should have its own smoke alarms. It is not designed for use in common
areas, stairwells, or common hallways in multi-family buildings.

This smoke alarm IS NOT designed to be the PRIMARY protec-

•

tion for buildings that require complete fire alarm systems.

Buildings of this type include hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals,
nursing homes, and group homes. This is true even if they were once
single family homes. However, this smoke alarm MAY be used

inside individual rooms as SUPPLEMENTAL protection.

WARNING

1

DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other smoke alarm or

•

devices except as specifically listed in this manual. Model PG40, GC
and FXW-R smoke alarms can be interconnected with up to 11 other spe­cific model smoke alarms (Model G-6, as many as 5). DO NOT use exter-

nal bug screens or alarm guards. This may cause improper operation.

Smoke alarms must not be used with detector guards unless

•

the combination of alarm and guard has been evaluated and found
suitable for that purpose.

Smoke alarms sound their alarm horns when they detect smoke.

•

They do not detect heat, flame, or gas.They will not operate if smoke
does not reach the smoke alarm.

We recommend that you install a smoke alarm in every room and

•

on every level of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm
for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the
home, on another level, in a chimney, wall, roof, or on the other side of a
closed door, smoke may not reach the smoke alarm in time to alert
household members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire
EXCEPT in the area or room in which it is installed.

Model G-6, PG40, GC and FXW-R smoke alarms meet all NFPA

•

requirements for new and existing homes. Per the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72, Chapter 2, this type of
smoke alarm can be used to meet the minimum requirements for new
and existing residential dwellings.The standard requires that smoke
alarms for new residential dwellings be AC powered and interconnect­ed. Therefore, Model G-6, PG40, and GC can be used to meet the mini­mum requirements for new construction residential dwellings.

Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every

•

time. There may be limiting circumstances where a household
member may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor or indoor noise, sound
sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you
suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member,
install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Current studies have
shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and
that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are
capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may
not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

This smoke alarm will not provide adequate escape or rescue

•

time in extremely fast moving fires. Fast fires include gas fires,
flammable liquid fires, or fires set on purpose. The smoke alarm will
not give adequate escape time to people very close to the fire. Such
examples might be, children playing with matches or smokers who
fall asleep and drop a cigarette into their bed.

Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not foolproof

•

and is not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke
alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters
should insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for
the smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test

the smoke alarm weekly and replace it every 10 years.

SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT

Invensys Controls Americas recommends complete coverage pro­tection achieved by installing a smoke alarm in every room of your
home. The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) MINIMUM
requirement for locating smoke alarms in family living units is
detailed in NFPA Standard 72, Chapter 2. It reads as follows:

“2-2.1.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each addi­tional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction a smoke detector
also shall be installed in each sleeping room."

Further, section 2-2.2.1 states that:
“In new construction, where more than one smoke detector is required by

2-2.1, they shall be so arranged that operation of any smoke detector shall
cause the alarm in all smoke detectors within the dwelling to sound."

The NFPA, 1993 Edition, Appendix A, however, clearly points out that:
“The required number of smoke detectors [as defined in the paragraphs

above] may not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke
detectors. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder con­sider the use of additional smoke detectors for those areas for increased
protection. The additional areas include: basement, bedrooms, dining
room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required smoke detectors.”

Further, the California State Fire Marshal states that the minimum number
of required smoke alarms is not enough to give the earliest warning under
all conditions.The California State Fire Marshal states that:

“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows:
A smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity,
but outside the bedrooms), and heat or smoke detectors in the living
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms,
closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.”

It is clear from the above abstracts that the earliest warning of
a developing fire is best achieved by the installation of smoke
alarms in all rooms and areas of the residence. Accordingly,
Invensys Controls Americas recommends that you install smoke
alarms in every room of your residence, even though this is not
required by the typical code or standard.

2

FOR MAXIMUM COVERAGE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
INSTALL A SMOKE ALARM IN EVERY ROOM OF THE
HOME, INCLUDING BASEMENTS AND FINISHED ATTICS. In
addition, we recommend interconnecting all smoke alarms
capable of being interconnected.

Invensys Controls Americas recommends a minimum of two smoke
alarms in every home, no matter how small the home (including effi­ciency apartments). Invensys Controls Americas also recommends
maximum coverage by installing smoke alarms in both required and
recommended locations as illustrated and described.

SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT (Cont’d)

Existing Homes:

• The NFPA requires a smoke alarm on

DO NOT install smoke alarms:

In areas where combustion particles are present.
(Combustion particles are the by-products of something that
is burning.) Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens,
garages, near furnaces, or near hot water heaters. Place
smoke alarm as far from the source of combustion particles
as possible to prevent nuisance alarms.

In damp or very humid areas—such as bathrooms with
showers—where the normal humidity may rise above
93% relative humidity. Areas above this humidity level
can cause a false alarm.

In direct air flow nor within 3 feet of heating and cooling
supply vents. Install at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from
these areas. The air could blow smoke away from the
detector, interrupting its alarm.

In rooms where temperatures may fall below 40˚F (4˚C)
or rise above 100˚F (38˚C).

In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. Loose
particles interfere with smoke alarm operation and may
cause a nuisance alarm.

Within 3 feet of fluorescent lighting. Electrical noise
may cause nuisance alarms.

Model GC features a False Alarm Control that, when activated, quiets
unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.

To use the False Alarm Control:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The alarm

should stop within ten seconds.This means the smoke alarm
is in False Alarm Control.

If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control and
continues to sound its loud alarm horn, or if it initially goes into False
Alarm Control then resounds the alarm, the smoke is too heavy and
a dangerous situation could exist—take emergency action.

NOTE: In an interconnected circuit, False Alarm Control must be
activated on the initiating unit.

PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY

Develop family escape plans, discuss them with ALL household
members, and practice them regularly.

Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and explain

•

what the sound means.
Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape route to

•

the outside from each exit.
Teach all household members to touch the door. INSTRUCT

•

THEM NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR IF THE DOOR IS HOT. Tell
them to use an alternative exit if the door is hot.

Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay below

•

dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the building.

•

Know how to call the nearest fire department in case of emergency.

•

Besides practicing and understanding fire safety rules, you should:

a.Install smoke alarms in every room of your residence.
b.Test smoke alarms weekly.
c.Maintain smoke alarms properly.
d.Keep a supply of replacement batteries on hand.
e.Replace nonworking smoke alarms immediately.
f. Prevent hazardous conditions and follow fire safety rules:

• Keep matches and cigarette lighters out of the hands of children.

• Never smoke in bed.

• Store flammables in proper, closed containers and do not use

them near flame or sparks.

• Keep electrical appliances in good condition.

• Make sure stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, barbeque grills, and

other appliances are clean and free of grease. Be sure they are
properly installed and operating as designed.

• Keep operating portable heaters and burning candles away from

combustible materials.Watch them carefully.

• Do not overload electrical circuits.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE

1. Don’t panic; stay calm. Notify every member in the resi­dence of the fire.

2. Have all residents leave the building as quickly as possible.
Touch doors to feel if they are hot before opening them.
Use an alternative exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor
and cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, if possi­ble. DO NOT stop to collect anything. Follow pre-defined
escape plans, if possible.

3. Meet at a prearranged meeting place outside the building.

4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.

5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING. Wait for
the fire department to arrive.

These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire. However, to
reduce the chance that fires will start, practice fire safety rules
and prevent hazardous situations.
