NOTE: AC power should be turned off at this stage.
• After selecting the proper location for your alarm,
and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECTOR harness
as described previously, 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 should be
parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted,
or horizontal when wall mounted.
• Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the cen-
ter 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 back
of 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).
• 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 pulling the battery pull tab, will result in a false low battery
trouble condition (see Troubleshooting Guide). You need to activate the battery to eliminate the false low
battery notifications. Pull the battery pull tab before, or very soon after applying AC power to avoid false
low battery notification.
