WIRELESS SMOKE ALARM INTERCONNECT BASE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base part number 51000-300 is a 120V AC
powered sensor. It monitors the interconnect line on interconnected hardwired smoke
alarm systems and sends out a transmission when any of the smoke alarm units on the
same circuit enter an alarm state. The device has LEDs to visually indicate the status of the
interconnect base. A single CR2032 ba� ery provides backup power in the event that AC
power is lost on the alarm system circuit. The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base
communicates with a compa� ble control panel and can send alarm, low ba� ery, AC power
loss, and supervisory messages to the system's receiver.

IMPORTANT: This device must be tested and maintained regularly. This device is intended
for use with compa� ble smoke alarms, but will not detect the presence of smoke, heat, or
 re directly.
✓ Note: Each of the smoke alarms part of interconnected smoke alarms must be:
• Present in every required loca� on per NFPA 72,11.5.1
• Con rmed as less than ten years from date of installa� on (or manufacture). Please
check label on the device or original smoke detector device manual.
• Hardwired to a single, common 120V AC circuit designated for interconnected smoke
alarms.
• Pass the manufacturer's stated tes� ng regimen to con rm proper interconnect
opera� on.
• Have fresh back-up ba� eries.
• On the list of compa� ble models (any model not listed may work but has not been
compa� bility tested).
• This device shall not be installed in loca� ons where the normal ambient temperature
is below 40F(4.4C) or exceeds 100F (37.8C), unless the alarm has been determined
capable of being used at installa� on points with higher or lower ambient temperatures.
• Please see sec� on at the end regarding informa� on on the proper installa� on of smoke
alarms that are intended to work with the Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base.
This device is not intended to work with smoke alarms paired with smoke alarm guards,
unless the combina� on has been evaluated and found suitable for this purpose.

Backup
CAUTION: Before a� emp� ng installa� on, locate the primary electrical circuit that
powers the interconnected hardwired smoke alarm system and shut off or disconnect
power to this circuit. An electrical shock hazard is present if this electrical circuit is not
temporarily disabled during installa� on.
AVERTISSEMENT: Avant de commencer l'installa� on, trouver le circuit électrique
principal qui alimente le système câblé de détec� on de fumée interconnecté
et l'éteindre ou couper l'alimenta� on de ce circuit. Un risque d'électrocu� on
est présent si ce circuit électrique n'est pas temporairement coupé pendant
l'installa� on.
WARNING: Remember to turn on or reconnect power to the primary electrical circuit
that powers the interconnected hardwired smoke alarm system. The  re warning system
may be disabled if electrical power is not restored to the system.
ATTENTION : Ne pas oublier d'établir ou de rétablir le courant du circuit électrique
principal qui alimente le système câblé de détec� on de fumée interconnecté. Le
système d'alerte incendie serait inopérant si le courant électrique alimentant le
système n'était pas rétabli.
Install Wireless Interconnect Base
Select a smoke alarm that will be used to provide power and communicate to the
wireless interconnect base. Any smoke alarm that is within range of a compa� ble
wireless receiver can be selected if the smoke alarm is part of an interconnected
hardwired system.
Remove the exis� ng smoke alarm from the exis� ng moun� ng bracket. This is
usually done by twis� ng the alarm counter clockwise or clockwise from where it
is mounted.
