Tandem Installation
NOTICE: ALL SMOKE ALARMS IN A TANDEM INSTALLATION MUST BE
CONTROLLED BY THE SAME FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. OTHERWISE
TANDEM UNITS WILL NOT OPERATE.
LIMITATIONS: A maximum of 12 smoke alarms ("710/713" or "720") may be connected
together. Do not exceed 125 feet between each smoke alarm. Do not exceed 1125
feet between first and last smoke alarm.
NOTICE: A MAXIMUM OF SIX (6) SMOKE ALARMS OF EITHER MODEL 710/713 OR
720 WITH THE RELAY OPTIONS (F, HF, TF, CS,CSX) MAY BE TANDEM
INTERCONNECTED.
Wire used for interconnecting shall be in accordance with article 760 of the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and must not exceed a resistance of
10 ohms.

1. Run a minimum of 16 gauge, 3-conductor cable, plus ground (4 wires) to the first
junction box from a power supply and between all smoke alarms that are to be
connected together. Use ANSI/UL Listed Class 1 wire. Power limited cable for
multiple tandem connections are available at many commercial electrical retail
stores.
2. Make wire connections to the supplied plug-in connector as follows: black to black,
white to white, 3rd conductor to the red/yellow wire. The red/yellow wire should be
stripped to make the connection. Connect ground wire between metal outlet boxes.
CAUTION
RED/YELLOW wire to be capped
when not in use. This wire is for
tandem connection only. Do not
connect to any other circuit.

NOTES ON TANDEM INTERCONNECTING MODELS
DO NOT connect Gentex Smoke Alarms to other manufacturers' smoke alarms.
No more than 12 Gentex models 710/713 or 720 Series may be connected in
tandem.
No more than 6 Gentex models with relay options (710F, HF, TF, CS, CSX)/
(713F, HF, TF, CS, CSX) or 720F Series may be connected in tandem.
All units connected in tandem MUST get their power from the same circuit, that is,
all smoke alarms in tandem must be controlled by the same fuse or circuit breaker.
After installation to verify proper working conditions all horns must sound in this
system.
CAUTION: Failure to observe any of the conditions set forth may cause system
malfunction and damage to the smoke alarm.
NOTICE: LOSS OF ELECTRICAL INPUT WILL CAUSE THE SMOKE ALARM NOT
TO FUNCTION. THIS SERIES DOES NOT EMPLOY A SECONDARY POWER
SOURCE. FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY YOU SHOULD INSTALL BOTH BATTERY
OPERATED AND AC POWERED SMOKE ALARMS. IF BATTERY BACK-UP
DEVICES ARE NEEDED REFER TO GENTEX 9120 SERIES OR 7109/7139
SERIES, IF A SMOKE ALARM WITH STROBE LIGHT IS REQUIRED.
MOUNTING: PLATE & SMOKE ALARM
1. Lace the connector through the provided mounting plate and secure the plate to
the junction box so that the smoke alarm snap-in tabs are in the vertical position if
wall mounted. NOTE: Mounting plate is marked "THIS SIDE OUT" and slotted for
proper positioning.
2. Plug the wire connector into the smoke alarm base.
3. Place smoke alarm up to the mounting plate, rotating it clockwise until smoke
alarm firmly locks into place. Keep the smoke alarm parallel to mounting plate so
upper and lower tabs on plate seat correctly into smoke alarm.
CHECKOUT & TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Turn test knob to the NORMAL position and supply house power to smoke alarm.
The red indicator light should flash every 15-30 seconds, showing that smoke
alarm is operating properly.
2. If red light is not flashing or the green LED is not on:
a. Check the house current.
b. Check connector plug and wire connections. NOTE: Be sure power is turned
off before checking wire connections.
c. If power supply and wiring check out, but red light does not flash, return smoke
alarm to manufacturer. See TO RETURN A SMOKE ALARM.
d. When powering up smoke alarms in a tandem installation and all smoke alarms
sound immediately, inspect all devices for those with an illuminated indicator
light. These will be the trouble units.
3. Testing with the Test Knob:
a. Rotate test knob counter-clockwise to TEST 1 position and wait up to 20
seconds for smoke alarm to sound and visual signal to flash. If smoke alarm
does not sound after 20 seconds, return smoke alarm for service.
b. After successfully testing smoke alarm, return test knob to NORMAL (non-test)
position and wait 20 seconds for the smoke alarm to stop sounding.
