Interconnected units must meet ALL of the following requirements:

•A maximum of 18 units total may be interconnected. (See page 13 for details.)

•The same fuse or circuit breaker must power all interconnected units.

•The total length of wire interconnecting the units should be less than 1000 feet. The interconnect wire should be Type 18 gauge AWM or larger, rated at least 300V.

•If an interconnect wire is not already part of your household wiring, you will need to install one.

Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.

TO INSTALL:

1.Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Position the screw slots on the mounting bracket over the screws in the junction box. Tighten the screws.

2.Strip off about 1/2” of the plastic coating on the violet interconnect wire on the power connector.

3.Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the AC power.

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neu- tral wire in the junction box.

• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.

• Connect the violet wire on the power connector to the inter- connect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the violet interconnect wire.

4. Plug the power connector into the back of the CO alarm.

5. Position the base of the alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. The alarm

can be positioned over the bracket every 60°. Turn the

unit clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.

DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all CO alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.
