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.
- Using your smartphone, go to fireco.online/filter-12 or scan the QR code to download the sound file
- Remove the cover
- Disconnect the battery pack
- Press play on the sound file with the phone next to the unit
- Whilst the sound file is playing reconnect the battery pack
- All lights will show green to confirm the application
- Replace the cover

Door Close Time
Set the unit to close the door at a chosen time.
This is useful for hotels where doors need to be kept open during the day to
allow easy access but closed at night to reduce noise.
- Remove the cover
- Disconnect then reconnect the battery pack
- Wait for the battery light to turn off
- Press button, hold it down for 3 seconds
- The unit will beep once for every hour from the current time. If the time is 4pm and you want the unit to close the door at 8pm, you need to let the unit beep 4 times before pressing the button again
- The unit will beep back the number of hours you have set to confirm
To change the time you have set, follow steps 1-6.
Notes: If you are applying the other features, set up Door Close Time
last.
After the door is released, fully opening it will re-enable the weightless
mode. If you want the doors to close automatically, follow the ‘Door Closer
Mode’ steps.
Door Closer Mode
Freedor makes your fire door weightless and allows you to place it open at any
angle.
If you want Freedor to act as a standard door closer follow these steps.
- Push and hold the button on the front of the unit for 3 seconds (ignore the beeping)
- Release the button for 3 seconds
- Push and hold the button until the unit beeps twice
Note: Follow steps 1-3 to re-enable weightless mode.
Factory Reset
By factory resetting your unit, all features applied will be removed.
- Remove the cover
- Disconnect the battery pack
- Hold down the button and reconnect the batteries- this must be done simultaneously
- Continue to hold the button until the unit beeps 3 times to confirm the reset
