FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS (Continued)

Interconnected units must meet ALL of the following requirements:

•A maximum of 18 compatible units may be interconnected (Maximum of 12 Smoke Alarms).

•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 (300 meters). The interconnect wire should be #18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V. If an interconnect wire is not already part of your household wiring, you will need to install one. This type of wire is commonly available at Hardware and Electrical Supply stores.

•All wiring must conform to all local electrical codes and Article 760 of NFPA 70 (NEC). Refer to NFPA 72, NFPA 101, and/or your local building code for further connection requirements.

OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURES

The locking features are designed to discourage unauthorized removal of the battery or Alarm. It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized battery or Alarm removal is not a concern.

These Smoke Alarms have two separate locking features: one to lock the battery compartment, and the other to lock the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket. You can choose to use either feature independently, or use them both.

Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility knife • Standard Flathead screwdriver.

Both locking features use locking pins, which are molded into the mounting bracket. Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, remove one or both pins from the mounting bracket, depending on how many locking features you want to use.

To permanently remove either lock, insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock, and pry the pin out of the lock.

TO LOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

(Model 7010B Only)

Do not lock the battery compartment until you have installed the battery and tested the battery back-up.

1.Push and hold Test/Silence button until the alarm sounds: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.

If the unit does not alarm during testing, DO NOT lock the battery com- partment! Install a new battery and test again. If the Smoke Alarm still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

2.Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, detach one locking pin from the mounting bracket.

3.Push the locking pin through the hole near the battery drawer on the back of the Smoke Alarm.

TO UNLOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

(Model 7010B Only)

Once the Smoke Alarm is installed, you must disconnect it from the AC power before unlocking the battery compartment.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area where the Smoke Alarm is installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Smoke Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, remove the battery from Smoke Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press and hold the Test/Silence button for 5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.

1. Remove the Smoke Alarm from the mounting bracket. If the unit is locked to the bracket, see the section “To Unlock the Mounting Bracket.”

2. Disconnect the power connector by gently prying it away from the back of the Smoke Alarm.

3. Insert a flathead screwdriver under the head of the locking pin, and gently pry it out of the bat- tery compartment lock. (If you plan to relock the battery compartment, save the locking pin.)

4.To relock the battery compartment, close the battery door and reinsert locking pin in lock.

5.Reconnect the power connector to the back of the Smoke Alarm, reattach the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket, and restore the power.

When replacing the battery, always test the Smoke Alarm before relocking the battery compartment.

2.Insert the locking pin into the lock located opposite from the battery drawer as shown in the diagram.

3.When you attach the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket, the locking pin’s head will fit into a notch on the bracket.

TO UNLOCK THE MOUNTING BRACKET

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area where the Smoke Alarm is installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in serious electri- cal shock, injury or death.

Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Smoke Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, remove the battery from Smoke Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press and hold the Test/Silence button for 5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.
