bel horn, test button, and lighted power/alarm LED indicators. The 4480 and 484(C) AC smoke
alarms can be interconnected with FireX ionization as well as photoelectric smoke alarms for the
best smoke detection system.
4480 120V AC Direct Wire with Battery Back-up for single or multiple station use. The 4480 is
interconnectable with up to 12 FireX AC/DC smoke alarms and 6 FireX heat or carbon
monoxide alarms for a total of not more than 18 FireX devices. This unit has two separate
lighted LEDS green power-on LED confirms constant AC power and the red LED displays
alarm/battery status.
484
120V AC Direct Wire for single or multiple station use. The 484 is interconnectable with up
to 12 FireX AC smoke alarms. A green lighted LED blinks once per minute to confirm
constant AC power and once per second when in alarm.
480
9V DC Battery Powered with a green lighted LED that blinks once per minute to confirm
DC power and once per second in alarm. Alarm features a 30 day low battery indicator.
These FireX smoke alarms should be placed in single-family households or in each individual living
unit of multiple-family buildings. All smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years.

The 4480 shall be 1-3/8 high and 5 wide, powered by a 120V AC, 60 Hz source
with a 9 volt battery back-up. Nominal sensitivity shall be measured by U.L. at obs.
2.3 � .95%/ft. A green continuous power on indicator shall be a built-in light emit-
ting diode (LED) in the standby condition; a second red blinking LED shall indicate
that a sufficient 9-volt battery back-up is present; when activated, the initiating
alarm red LED shall flash while the interconnected alarms remain extinguished. A
7 day low battery signal shall be included.
The 484(C) shall be 1-3/16 high and 4-7/8 wide powered by a 120V AC, 60 Hz
source. Nominal sensitivity shall be measured by U.L. at obs. 2.2 � 1.2%/ft. and by
U.L.C. at obs. 2.2 � .75%/ft. A power-on indicator shall be a built-in LED which
blinks once per minute in the standby condition; when activated, the initiating
alarm LED shall flash while the interconnected alarms remain extinguished.
The 4480 and the 484(C) shall be rated at no more than 0.5W in standby and have
100% solid state alarm circuits over an input range of 100-130V AC. The alarm
shall mount to a single gang box, 4 octagon junction box, or a square-to-round
drywall ring without screw removal. It shall have a Quick Connect wiring harness.
The 480(C) shall be 1 high and 4 wide powered by a 9V DC battery source.
Nominal sensitivity shall be measured by U.L. at obs. 2.2 � 1.2%/ft. and by
U.L.C. at obs. 2.2 � .75%/ft. 100% solid state alarm circuits over an input range of
6.8-10V DC. A power-on indicator shall be a built-in LED which blinks once per
minute in the standby condition and a 30 day low battery signal shall be included.
All FireX photoelectric smoke alarms shall have a photoelectric sensor. Operating
temperature range shall be between 40� and 100�F (4�-38�C) and relative humid-
ity range between 10%-93%. The test switch shall electronically activate the
chamber to simulate smoke and check for proper operation. The electric horn shall
have a level of 85 decibels at 10 feet and all units have a separate mounting
bracket. Items 4480, 484, 480 shall meet the requirements of U.L. 217 and items
484(C) and 480(C) shall meet the requirements of U.L.C. S531.

This smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with NFPAs Standard
72 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269) and any local codes that apply. For the AC and AC/DC direct wire
smoke alarms, use #18 AWG minimum solid or stranded wire. When inter-
connecting, maximum wire length between any two is 1,500 feet for #18
AWG or 4,000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS loop resistance). DO NOT con-
nect to any other type or model of heat or smoke alarm. Connect smoke
and heat alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit,
be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
