NOTE: Use standard UL Listed household wire (as required by local codes) available at all electrical
supply stores and most hardware stores.
NOTE: AC power should be turned off at this stage.
• For best results to minimize nuisance
alarms, interconnected alarms should
be on a dedicated line. If not on a
dedicated line, it is suggested that the
smoke alarms share a lighting load
circuit that does not have a dimmer
associated with it. If receptacles
must be placed on the same line it is
suggested that they be placed ahead
of the smoke alarms (see Figure 9-C).
This will prevent large voltage drops
from occurring between the first and
last alarm in the circuit.
• 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 mount
-
ed, or horizontal when wall mounted.
(See Figure 9-D)
• Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR
through the center hole in the mount
-
ing 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 connector snaps
into place. Then push the excess
wire back into the electrical box
through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
