MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
1. Remove the trim ring from the back of the alarm by holding the trim ring and
twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.
2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in section 1 and
wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUC-
TIONS, attach the trim ring to the electrical box (see figure 5).
3. Use a screwdriver to punch out only the pair of holes in the trim ring that
match your type of electrical box or plaster ring. Mount the trim ring to the elec-
trical box, using the appropriate holes. NOTE: Use the circle, square and octagon
markings near each mounting hole in the trim ring to help you select the correct
mounting holes (see figure 5).
4. Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the trim ring and
mount the ring, making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the
small ends of the keyholes before tightening the screws (see figure 5).
5. Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see figure 6),
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 trim ring.
6. If you have finished all the WIRING, BATTERY INSTALLATION AND TRIM RING
MOUNTING STEPS, you can install the alarm on the trim ring. Alignment marks
are provided on the side of the alarm and on the trim ring (see figure 7).
7. Install the alarm on the trim ring with the indicating marks aligned and rotate
the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm snaps
in place (see figure 7).
