A follow up to our video on setup and install of the FireFighter FF345 system; this video will show you how to program the control panel to recognize the FF345 unit in the alarm system. Pointed out is the fact that the FF345 is not an actual smoke detector.

It is simply an excellent way to integrate your current smoke detectors with your alarm system to alert you in case of an emergency. The microphone on the Firefighter FF345 will listen for the smoke detector frequency and if detected will alert the control panel. Once that happens using the Total Control software you will receive text alerts or emails.

Additionally, you will receive alerts through the siren on the panel locally, as well as central station monitoring. The video recaps the information for you.

When programming the unit to the control panel, the system will see it as a door contact. The video ensures you understand that it does not act as a door contact, but instead it uses the same loop for monitoring.

The instructional video walks you through the entire process of setting up the L7000 control panel to connect with the FireFighter FF345 unit. The process is the same for the L5210 control panel and either one can be used.

In the security menu, you will find the tools menu under “more” and enter your installer code. The video explains what to do if you have forgotten your installer number by rebooting the system and using the built-in back door installer method.

You should select the zone and edit it. You need to enter the serial number listed on the back of the unit or use the tamper switch on the inside of the FF345 unit to automatically learn the device into the system. The video covers the second method in detail.

Once the unit is learned in, the video will show you how to set up the proper loop and zone numbers. It is a vital step to ensure the device monitors and reports correctly. Follow the step-by-step instructions for these procedures.

Finally, you need to assign a zone and device type to the alert so that in the event it is triggered your alerts will display the correct information. This tutorial will explain every function and every step needed to program the device properly.

Once all the alert fields are set to your required standards that the video takes you through the set up is complete. After saving the new information, your FireFighter FF345 unit is ready to be installed in its place and monitor your home for alerts.

Our other videos cover the out-of-the-box setup, including installing the battery and testing the unit. Watch those to ensure that you understand every aspect of your Encore FireFighter FF345 unit.
