degrees Fahrenheit (4.4˚ Celsius) or hotter than 100 degrees
Fahrenheit (37.8˚ Celsius), such as garages and unfinished attics.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS
!
• This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or
recognized junction box. All connections should be made by a
qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance
with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having
jurisdiction in your area. The multiple station interconnect
wiring to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable
as the AC power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the
interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase
supplied from a non-switchable circuit, which is not protected
by a ground fault interrupter.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless
the combination (alarm and detector guard) have been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
• WARNING: The alarm cannot be operated from power
!
derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified
sine wave, inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes
used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations,
such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power
sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the
alarm.
