Step 3: Mounting Instructions

!
CAUTION: YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM IS SEALED AND
THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
1. To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been
affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the "Replace by" date
(10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker on the
label. See Alarm Replacement section for additional
information.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the alarm by
holding the mounting bracket and twisting the alarm in the
direction indicated by the "OFF"arrow on the alarm cover.
3. After selecting the proper location for your Smoke/CO
Alarm, as described on Pages 8-10, and wiring the AC
QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS (NOTE: AC power should be turned off at
this stage), 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 must
be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or
horizontal when wall mounted.
4. 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.
5. Remove the cardboard square
from the connector pins and
plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR
into the back of the alarm (see
figure 3), making sure that the
locks on the connector snap into
place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box
through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
