NOTE: AC power should be turned off at this stage.
•
After selecting the proper location for your alarm,
and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECTOR harness as
described previously, 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 should 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 back of
the unit, making sure that the locks on the con-
nector 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).
•
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 pulling the battery pull tab, will result in a false low battery
trouble condition (see Troubleshooting Guide). You need to activate the battery to eliminate the false low
battery notifications. Pull the battery pull tab before, or very soon after applying AC power to avoid false
low battery notification.
