Filter Out Short Alarms
Adjust your unit to close the door after an alarm has been going off for a certain amount of time.
For example, schools often use the same sounder for fire alarms (which last for a long time) and lesson change bells (which last only for a few seconds). This feature allows shorter alarm sounds to be ignored so that the door remains open and only closes on the real fire alarm.

Freedor Smartsound LEDs
Alert LED
- Illuminates red on a mechanical fault or door obstruction
- (Also see last bullet points for fire LED and power LED)
Power LED
Upon insertion of batteries:
- Green for 5-10 seconds if brand new batteries are inserted
- Amber for 5-10 seconds if batteries have less than 95% charge remaining
- Red for 5-10 seconds when critical battery level is reached
- If power and alert LEDs both illuminate red the critical battery level has been exceeded and the unit will fail-to-safe. This can happen on battery insertion and during normal operation, once batteries are depleted
Fire LED
- Flashes red before door is released upon detection of an alarm
- Flashes green before door is released if night-time closure feature is used
- If fire & alert LEDs are red unit has failed to release after an alarm was detected
