•Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into place (Image 4D). This ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment. Note: The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). When wall mounting, make sure the battery door is at the bottom of the unit (Image 4C).

Battery

This unit will not function without a properly installed battery, and is equipped with a battery lockout feature which prevents the battery door from closing if a battery is not installed correctly. See Maintenance section for additional information concerning battery installation.

Testing

•Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test button. (All interconnected, battery backed-up alarms, should respond).

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.

•Turn on the AC power. The green Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

•C o n f i rm unit operation by pressing the Test button again.

The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied, a f resh battery is installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization sensor chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

CONTRACTOR’S NOTE: Only remove the battery pull-tab once AC is permanently applied. Unit will chirp if AC is applied and the pull-tab is still present.
