Installation
Mounting
• Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm
by holding the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in
the direction indicated by the "OFF" arrow on the alarm
cover.
• After selecting the proper location for your CO Alarm, as
described on page 5 and wiring the A.C. Quick-
Connector harness as described in Wiring, attach the
mounting plate to the electrical box. To ensure aesthetic
alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the "A"
line on the mounting plate must be parallel with the
hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall
mounted.
• Pull the A.C. Quick-Connector through the center hole
in the mounting plate and secure the bracket, making
sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the
small ends of the keyholes before tightening.
• Plug the A.C. Quick-Connector into the back of the
alarm (see Figure 2), making sure that the locks on the
connector snap into the unit. Push the excess wire
back into the electrical box through the hole in the
center of the mounting plate.
FIGURE 2
• Install the alarm on the mounting plate and twist 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).
