Step 3
Mounting Instructions:
CAUTION: YOUR SMOKE/CO 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/CO 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).
