Step 3
Mounting Instructions:
CAUTION: YOUR SMOKE ALARM IS SEALED AND THE
COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
1. To help identify the date to replace the unit, write the "Replace
by" date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker
in the space provided on the side of the alarm. See Alarm
Replacement section for additional information.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the alarm by
holding the mounting bracket and twisting the alarm in the
direction indicated by the “OFF”arrow on the alarm cover.
3. After selecting the proper location for your Smoke Alarm, as
described on Pages 8-10, and wiring the AC QUICK
CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
(NOTE: AC power should be turned off at this stage), 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 must be parallel with the hallway
when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.
4. 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.
5. Remove the cardboard square from the connector pins and
plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see
figure 4), 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.
6. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate the
alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover 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). NOTE: Installing the
alarm on the mounting bracket will automatically activate the
battery backup.
7. Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator
should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.
