• 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 recepta-
cles 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.
• 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.
Insert the AC
Quick connector
into the slot.
