Installation Guide

NOTE: AC power should be turned off at this stage.

• After selecting the proper location for your alarm, and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the mounting bracket to the electrical box. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the

alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling

mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.

• Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the

mounting bracket and secure the bracket, making sure that the

mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes

before tightening the screws.

• Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the wiring harness attached

to the unit, making sure that the locks on the connector snap into

place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box through

the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.

• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm

in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket

in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). NOTE: Installing the alarm on the

mounting bracket will automatically activate the battery backup.

• Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

NOTE: Attaching AC power first, without rotating the alarm onto the mounting bracket, will result in a low battery

trouble condition chirp (see Troubleshooting Guide). You need to activate the battery to eliminate the low battery

trouble condition chirps. Attach unit to mounting bracket very soon after applying AC power to avoid false low

battery notification.
