Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings. Continued... SUGGESTED AREAS FOR INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS, CO ALARMS, AND COMBO UNITS SMOKE ALARM WITH SILENCE FEATURE CO ALARMS BOTH, OR COMBINATION SMOKE/CO ALARMS SMOKE ALARMS KEY: Suggested locations are based on NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation. In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations. BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION This unit is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall. Read “Where to Install This Alarm” and “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed ” before you begin installation. If a junction box is not already in place, install one using standard #12 or #14 gauge copper wire. • Make sure the alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the same circuit, power from a generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy power may cause damage to your Alarm. Find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this Smoke/CO Alarm. • On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. • Place one label near the Smoke/CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds. NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.” PARTS OF THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM 1 Mounting Bracket 2 Mounting Slot and Screw* 3 Locking Pins (break out of bracket) 4 Hot (Black) AC Wire 5 Neutral (White) AC Wire 6 Interconnect Wire (Orange) 7 Lever to Open Battery Compartment 8 Swing-Out Battery Compartment 9 Quick-Connect Power *Not Included 1 2 3 5 6 4 2 3 9 7 8 Tools you will need: Standard Flathead screwdriver. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death. To install this unit: 1. Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Position the screw slots on the mounting bracket over the screws in the junction box. Tighten the screws. Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to the power connector will cause damage to the Alarm and may lead to a non-functioning Alarm. 2. Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the AC power. 3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Smoke/CO Alarm. 4. Position the base of the Smoke/CO Alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. The Alarm will remain secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment. When wall mounting, this will allow finetuning on the positioning to compensate for out of aligned wall studs and to keep the wording level. The Alarm can be positioned over the bracket every 120°. Rotate the Alarm until aligned properly. 5. Check all connections. STAND ALONE ALARM ONLY: • Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box. • Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box. • Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for interconnect only. INTERCONNECTED ALARMS ONLY: Strip off about 1/2” of the plastic coating on the orange interconnect wire on the power connector. • Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire (usually white) in the junction box. • Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire (usually black) in the junction box. • Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the orange interconnect wire. Never cross hot and neutral wires between interconnected Alarms. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED ALARMS • Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection. • AC and AC/DC Smoke/CO Alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will alarm when one senses smoke or CO. When power is interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the series will continue to send and receive signals. AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms will not operate. See “Smart Interconnect” Feature. Interconnected units can provide earlier ...
