FireRanger Operations Manual
System Components:
1. Battery powered Keypad controller with wireless transceiver
2. 220Vac Range Interbox power controller with wireless transceiver
3. Battery powered Smoke Sensor with wireless transceiver
Basic functionality of the system:
The function of this product is to disconnect the power to an electric range in the event
that smoke is detected by it's dedicated smoke sensor. It is neither a primary nor
secondary function to issue an alarm. The audible 'chirp' from the equipment serves
only as a simple troubleshooting aid to help the user understand why the electric range
has been shut off.

This product does not interact with any other existing smoke detectors and does not
operate as a smoke detector/alarm. It's dedicated 'Smoke Sensor' serves only to send
an electronic signal to the 'Interbox' to shut off the stove.
There is no smoke alarm functionality associated with this product.
This product is not an emergency signaling or smoke alarm product.
All components of the FireRanger system must be operational (powered) and within RF
transceiver functional range (typically within 8m). The recommended placement of the
Smoke Sensor is minimum12 inches from any ceiling or wall corner. Example:
Minimum12 inches out from the wall, or 12 inches down from the ceiling.
