Mounting a Detector
1. Select the installation location.
2. Remove locking pin securing the mounting bracket to the unit (see Figure B‐ 28).
3. R emove the mounting bracket from the unit by rotating it counterclockwise.
4. U se the bracket as a template for marking the mounting holes
5. U sing an appropriate drill, drill two holes at the marks and insert anchors.
6. U sing screws (supplied) attach the bracket to the wall as in Figure B‐ 28.
7. L ine up the side slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the detector onto the mounting
bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into place.
8. Insert the locking pin in order to secure the mounting bracket to the detector (see Figure
B‐ 28).
9. P ull the detector outward to make sure it is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
This detector is not suitable for installation in a hazardous location, as defined in the
national electrical code. Do not use detector in an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Figure B- 28: Smoke Detector Installation
Red Indicator
When the red LED indicator (see Figure B‐ 30) flashes once in 30 seconds, it indicates the detector is
under normal operation. When the red LED flashes very frequently and an audible alarm sounds
simultaneously, it indicates that the detector senses smoke.
The red LED behaves according to one of the following set modes:
Mode 1: The red LED indicator will not reset automatically at the end of an alarm event.
This means that after the smoke chamber is cleared, the audible alarm will stop
automatically, but the red LED indicator will continue to flash, until it is manually restored
by the user. To restore – press the test button for 2‐3 seconds, the LED will stop flashing.
Mode 2 (Default): The red LED will reset automatically at the end of an alarm event.
The user can check to which mode the detector is defined and switch between modes.
• To check the mode, press the Test button. The red LED will light up. If the red LED lights
up continuously the detector is in Mode 1. If the red LED is blinking the detector is in Mode
2.
• To switch from one mode to another, press the Test button for 8 seconds. The buzzer will
sound and the red LED will change its behavior either from a continuous light to a blinking
light or from a blinking light to a continuous light.
