Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P models?

The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P models include a built-in carbon monoxide (CO) sensor in addition to the smoke detector. This is designed to detect CO, which is a component of some fires, to provide an early warning of a fire in cases where smoke is not immediately present. However, it's important to note that these units are not to be used as stand-alone CO detectors.

What is the operating temperature range of these detectors?

The operating temperature range is +32°F to +100°F (0°C to +38°C).

How often should I test these detectors?

The detectors should be tested monthly to ensure proper operation. NFPA-72 recommends a visual and physical test annually.

How do I clean these detectors?

Use a common window cleaner and a soft, clean cloth to clean the detector surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the maximum mounting height for these detectors?

Refer to NFPA-72 guidelines for specific recommendations on mounting height based on your application and local codes.

How do I install an EOL resistor?

An EOL resistor can only be attached to the FCA-500-E Four-Wire EOL Base. To install, place the resistor between the two screw clamps on the base.
