CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE
BATTERY, THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, THE AC QUICK CONNECTOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE
ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
After installing the battery, connect your alarm to the AC quick connect harness and mount the unit. Test your alarm by using the
test/reset button and check that the green LED is on.
A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the battery door from closing and result in improper alarm operation. This
smoke alarm uses a 9V alkaline battery (lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal
operating conditions. This alarm has a low/missing battery monitor circuit that will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every 60
seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
CAUTION: WHEN WALL MOUNTING: UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED SO THAT THE
SOUNDER OPENINGS ARE AT THE BOTTOM! (SEE FIGURE 7). INCORRECT
ORIENTATION OF WALL MOUNTED SMOKE ALARMS WILL DECREASE
OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS.
1. Complete the steps in section 3, WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP.
2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1 and wiring the AC Quick Connector as described in the
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the trim ring to the electrical box (see Figure 8). 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.
3. 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.
4. Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see Figure 5), 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.
5. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate the alarm clockwise until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function
allows for aesthetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).
6. Turn on the AC power. The green Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power. Confirm unit
operation by pressing the test button.
7. Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test Button, all interconnected alarms should respond.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.
Tamper Resist Features
This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which helps prevent someone from removing the unit from the mounting bracket. Activate the
smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting bracket (see Figure 9A). When
the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the
