Installation

Mounting

Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

After selecting the proper location for your CO Alarm, as described on page 5 and wiring the A.C. Quick- Connector harness as described in Wiring, attach the mounting plate to the electrical box. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall mounted.

Pull the A.C. Quick-Connector through the center hole in the mounting plate and secure the bracket, making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening.

Plug the A.C. Quick-Connector into the back of the alarm (see Figure 2), making sure that the locks on the connector snap into the unit. Push the excess wire back into the electrical box through the hole in the center of the mounting plate.

FIGURE 2 ATTACHING THE A.C. QUICK-CONNECTOR

Install the alarm on the mounting plate and twist the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment). Note: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).
