Installation of Smoke Alarm Kit

This smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with the NFPA’s Standard 72 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) and any local codes that apply.

Use #18 AWG minimum solid or stranded wire. When interconnecting, maximum wire length between any two is 1,500 feet for #18 AWG or 4,000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS loop resistance).

DO NOT connect to any other type or model of heat or smoke alarm. Connect smoke to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
