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.

In the Go!Control menu you will answer a series of questions. To manually configure the unit 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.
