5. If interconnection is desired, connect orange wire from connector to interconnect wire between smoke alarms. See section, “Interconnecting Smoke Alarms.” 3 NOTE: If this will be a single-station smoke alarm, cover orange wire with electrical tape and tuck into ceiling, wall, or pattress.

Lift open battery pocket door. 7. Connect new 9-volt battery to battery connector inside battery pocket. BE SURE BATTERY IS SECURELY CONNECTED. Smoke alarm may beep briefly when battery is installed. 8. Close battery pocket door, snapping it into place. 9. Push button and hold button on front cover of smoke alarm for three (3) seconds. Smoke alarm should sound its alarm horn if battery is fitted correctly. 10. Attach connector plug to pins on back of smoke alarm. Plug will only fit one way and will snap into place. 11. Gently tug connector to be sure it is attached securely. 12. Position smoke alarm to mounting plate so that keyslot on side of smoke alarm is to left of tab on mounting plate. Turn clockwise to lock into place. NOTE: (For Models I240C, PAD240 and PADC240 only): Smoke alarm will not mount to plate if battery is not installed. 13. Turn on power at main fuse box or circuit breaker. The green LED on the cover should be illuminated. 14. Test smoke alarm. See “TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM”. INTERCONNECTING SMOKE ALARMS •Use 1.5mm2 minimum solid or stranded wire with a rating of 230V. When interconnecting, maximum wire length between any two is 450 m for 1.5mm2 or 1200 m for 2.5mm2 (20 OHMS loop resistance). •This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 35 other Models GC240, I240C, PG240, PAD240, PADC240, IAR230C, and PAR230 smoke alarms. DO NOT connect to any other type or model smoke alarm. •Connect smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. Wiring must conform to IEE Regulations for electrical installation. BLACK OR BLUE ORANGE ORANGE RED OR BROWN NEUTRAL LINE FOR INTERCONNECT: USE STANDARD 1.5MM2 CABLE RED AND GREEN LED INDICATORS This smoke alarm features red and green LED indicators that can be seen through the Push-to-Test button or the LED lens above the test button. The LEDs indicate the following: GREEN LED ON — AC power is present. OFF — AC power is not present. RED LED Blinks once a minute — indicating normal operation. Blinks once a second — smoke alarm senses smoke and simultaneously sounds an audible alarm. Blinks once every 10 seconds — smoke alarm is quieting an unwanted alarm. (Models GC240, I240C, PADC240, and IAR230C, PG240, PAR230.) (Interconnected system only): OFF — another smoke alarm in the network has sensed smoke and is signalling this alarm. 4 FALSE ALARM CONTROL Models GC240, I240C, PADC240, PG240, PAR230 and IAR230C feature False Alarm Control that, when activated, quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes. To use the False Alarm Control: Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The alarm should stop within ten seconds. This means the smoke alarm is in False Alarm Control. If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control and continues to sound its loud alarm horn, or if it initially goes into False Alarm Control then resounds the alarm, the smoke is too heavy and c...
