NOTE: Use agency approved 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 CONNEC-
TOR 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 hori-
zontal when wall mounted.(See Figure 9-D)
• 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.
Insert the AC
Quick connector
into the slot.
