The yellow wire is used only for multiple station operations with USI ELECTRIC or UNIVERSAL Model alarms only. Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may result in damage and alarm malfunction. When alarms are interconnected, all alarms must be powered from a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. The maximum wire run distance between the first and last alarm/device in an interconnected system is 1,000 feet. NOTE: Use standard household wire (18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V, as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply/hardware stores.

The wiring to be used shall be in accordance with the provisions of Articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70. In addition, the resistance of the interconnecting wiring shall be a maximum of 10 Ohms.

2.Attach the mounting bracket to the electrical junction box.

3.To activate 9 volt battery and alarm, hold the QUICK DRAW(R) battery drawer closed, pull and remove the PULL-TAB. Confirm that the entire PULL-TAB has been completely removed. Discard PULL-TAB.

4.Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the alarm base. Push and twist the alarm clockwise onto the mounting bracket.

5.See "OPTIONAL TAMPER RESISTANT FEATURES" and "TO ACTIVATE THE LOCKING FEATURES" instructions on Page 7.

6.Turn on AC power and check the LED's for proper operation. The green LED should be on to indicate AC power. The red LED blinks on once approx. every 40 seconds to indicate proper operation.

IMPORTANT!

The battery backup is designed to provide short-term emergency power to the CO and Gas Alarm. Actual backup time depends on the strength (freshness) of the battery. The battery backup will not work unless a good battery is properly installed.

When the alarm utilizes battery backup power, the natural gas sensor will operate the alarm and will sample less frequently to extend battery life. Natural gas could be present during this period between samples without the alarm sounding, especially if there is a rapid buildup of natural gas.

OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE

OPERATION: The alarm is operating once the AC power is connected and turned on (the battery must also be installed). When products of combustion are sensed, the alarm sounds a loud alarm which continues until the air is cleared.

LOW BATTERY ALARM: If the alarm chirps once approx. every 40 seconds, please verify that the battery activation pull tab has been completely removed, the battery polarity is correct and the battery terminals are making contact with the alarm contacts in the battery compartment. If the battery continues to chirp, replace the 9 volt battery.

This alarm incorporates the NFPA recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three beeps followed by a two second pause and then continually repeats.

READY/ACTIVE CONDITION: The red LED blinks on once approx. every 40-45 seconds to indicate the alarm is properly functioning.

LOCAL ORIGINATING SMOKE ALARM CONDITION: The red LED blinks on approx. every 2 seconds and the alarm emits a loud, pulsating alarm sound.

NON-ORIGINATING SMOKEALARM CONDITION: The red LED is off and the alarm emits a loud, pulsating alarm.

GREEN LED: The green LED is on whenever AC power is turned on.

CO ALARM: The alarm signal is 4 beeps, 2 second pause, repeat. The green LED turns off when the 4 beeps start. The red LED blinks in sync with the cycle of 4 beeps.

GAS ALARM: The alarm signal is 1 beep, 1 second pause, repeat. The green LED blinks off. The blue LED blinks in sync with the horn beep every second.

NUISANCE ALARM: If the horn signals for no apparent reason and no obvious hazard is present, please verify that the alarm is mounted in the correct location. Reset the alarm as instructed in the Operational Summary.

MICN109, MICN109L, MICN102, MICN102L specifications

Universal Security Instruments offers a versatile lineup of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that provide essential safety features for any home or office environment. Among their popular models are the MICN102, MICN109L, MICN109, and MICN102L, each designed with advanced technology to ensure effective monitoring and protection against fire and carbon monoxide threats.

The MICN102 is a dual-sensor alarm, combining both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in a single unit. This compact device features an electrochemical sensor for precise CO detection, as well as an ionization smoke sensor that responds quickly to fast-flaming fires. With a loud alarm of 85 decibels, homeowners can rely on timely notifications in the event of emergencies. The MICN102 is also equipped with a test and silence button, allowing for easy routine checks and the ability to silence false alarms.

The MICN109L is an enhanced model that includes a voice alert feature. This model not only emits a loud alarm but also provides clear spoken alerts, indicating whether smoke or carbon monoxide has been detected, significantly improving user awareness and response times. With its user-friendly design, the MICN109L also has an easy-to-read display that shows the current CO levels, allowing users to stay informed about their indoor air quality.

The MICN109 shares many of the same core features found in the MICN109L, including the dual-sensor technology and 85-decibel alarm, but does not include the voice alert function. This model still offers reliable and efficient monitoring, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking for solid protection without additional features.

Lastly, the MICN102L combines the effective detection capabilities of the MICN102 with voice alerts similar to those in the MICN109L. This model is particularly beneficial for larger households or spaces where quick identification of the type of threat may be crucial. Features such as battery backup ensure continuous protection even during power outages, while the easy-to-install design allows for swift setup.

Across all models, Universal Security Instruments emphasizes user-friendly operation, reliability, and effective detection, providing peace of mind for families and individuals alike. With their modern design and advanced safety features, these units stand out as trusted guardians against fire and carbon monoxide hazards, reflecting Universal Security Instruments’ commitment to quality and safety.
