NOTE: Use standard CSA-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.
• After selecting the proper location for your Alarm, and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT
harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, 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.
• 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 wiring harness attached to the unit, 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.
• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction.
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.
• Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is
operating from AC power.
NOTE: Attaching AC power first, without rotating the alarm onto the mounting bracket, will
result in a false low battery trouble condition chirp and voice notification (see Troubleshooting
guide). You need to activate the battery to eliminate the false low battery trouble condition
chirps and voice. Attach unit to mounting bracket very soon after applying AC power to avoid
false low battery notification.
