HOW TO INSTALL THIS HEAT ALARM

This Heat Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes). Read “Recommended Locations For Heat Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Heat Alarms” before you begin installation.

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

Make sure the Alarm is not receiving excessive noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the same circuit, power from a generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessive noisy power may cause damage to your Alarm.

THE PARTS OF THIS HEAT ALARM

The Mounting Bracket:

To remove the mounting bracket from the Heat Alarm base, hold the Heat Alarm base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise.

The mounting bracket installs onto the junction box. It has a variety of screw slots to fit most boxes.

The Power Connector:

The power connector plugs into a power input block on the Heat Alarm. It supplies the unit with AC power.

•The black wire is “hot.”

•The white wire is neutral.

•The orange wire is used for interconnect.

If you need to remove the power connector, disconnect AC power at the electrical panel; insert a flat screwdriver blade between the power connector and the security tab inside the power input block. Gently pry back the tab and pull the connector free.
