NOTE: AC power should be turned off at
this stage.
• For best results to minimize nuisance
alarms, interconnected alarms should be
on a dedicated line. If not on a dedicat-
ed line, it is suggested that the smoke
alarms share a lighting load circuit that
does not have a dimmer associated
with it. If receptacles must be placed on
the same line it is suggested that they
be placed ahead of the smoke alarms
(see Figure 9-C). This will prevent large
voltage drops from occurring between
the first and last alarm in the circuit.
• After selecting the proper location for
your alarm, and wiring the AC QUICK
CONNECTOR harness as described pre-
viously, 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 hall-
way when ceiling mounted, or horizontal
when wall mounted. (See Figure 9-D)
• Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR
through the center hole in the mounting
bracket and secure the bracket, making
sure that the mounting screws are posi-
tioned 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 connector snaps into place. Then
push the excess wire back into the
electrical box through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
