The Alarm must not be connected when the house wiring insulation is being checked with high Voltages i.e. do not use an insulation tester on the alarm.
Do not use the CO Alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector for the spillage of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys.
Mains operated Alarms should be installed and interconnected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Requirements for Electrical Installations published by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (as BS7671). Failure to install this Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.
The Alarm must be continuously powered 24 hours a day so it is important that it is not on a circuit that can be turned off by a switch.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.Select a location complying with the advice in the previous section (see pages
2.Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit that is going to be used to power the Alarm.
3.The house wiring must be connected to the terminal block on the mounting plate as follows:
L:Live - connect to the house wires coloured brown or marked L.
N:Neutral - connect to the house wires coloured blue or marked N.
IC: Interconnect - If you are only installing one alarm do not connect any cable to the IC terminal. See page 19 for information on interconnecting.
Warning: Mixing the Live and Neutral connections when interconnecting alarms will damage all the alarms - ensure that the same colours are used throughout the premises for Live, Neutral and Interconnect wires.
