Installation Guide
OPTION 2:  
Mounting on Other Surfaces
1. Choose a mounting location (wall or 
ceiling) and using the mounting plate  
provided as a template, mark three- 
hole locations.  
2. Install the three provided screws  
through the mounting plate and tighten.  
DO NOT over-tighten screws. (If 
mounting in plasterboard or similar 
surface, drill 3/16” holes and use the 
plastic anchors provided.) Anchors are 
not required for mounting on hard  
surfaces such as wood. 
ATTACHING AND ACTIVATING THE ALARM
This model is equipped with a feature that automatically activates the alarm 
when the alarm is attached to the mounting plate for the first time. Once acti-
vated, the battery will supply power to the alarm for the life of the alarm (10 
years) under normal conditions. 
Align the alarm with the mounting plate and rotate clockwise (right) approxi-
mately 45° until the unit stops and clicks into place. DO NOT over-tighten. If 
unit needs to be re-aligned, rotate the alarm counter clockwise, remove and 
rotate to desired alignment. NOTE: The alarm will mount to the plate in three  
(3) positions (every 120 degrees).
You will know power has been supplied when alarm briefly chirps. Unit will 
remain on until unit is disabled by the user at alarm’s end of life. Do not over 
tighten the alarm as damage to alarm or mounting surface may occur. 
The alarm is now activated! After installation/activation, test your alarm 
as described in Operation and Testing section.
 Warning: Failure to properly install and activate this alarm 
will prevent proper operation of this alarm and will prevent  
its response to fire hazards.
Model P3010B will issue a voice prompt at activation asking the user to press 
the test button. Proceed to Operation and testing section.
