3. Installation Instructions
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the
mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the
“OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.
2. To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the
“A” line on the mounting plate should be parallel with the hallway when
ceiling mounting or horizontal when wall mounting.
3. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in section 1,
attach the mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in figure 5 and figure
5A. For wall mounting see figure 6 and figure 6A. Place mounting plate
on the wall as described in the mounting illustrations. Use the screws
and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for
anchor holes).
4. Battery installation instructions are provided on the inside of the battery
door. To ensure proper installation of the smoke alarm battery, follow
the instructions.
5. When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger down into
the battery compartment and install the battery (see figure 7 and figure
7A for the i9080 alarm).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD DOWN IN
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY DOOR
WILL NOT CLOSE AND THE UNIT WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNT-
ING BRACKET. NOTE: THE I9030 AND I9040 DO NOT HAVE A BATTERY
DOOR.
6. Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate and the
alarm. After installing the mounting plate, place the alarm on the
mounting plate with the alignment marks lined up. Twist the alarm in the
direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on the alarm cover (see figure 8)
until it locks in place.
7. USING TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN (all models except i9040 and
i9040RV): To make your smoke alarm tamper resistant, a locking pin has
been provided in the bag with the screws and anchors. Using this pin will
help deter children and others from removing the alarm from the mount-
ing plate. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the alarm
after the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate (see figure 9).
NOTE: THE TAMPER RESIST PIN WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED IN
ORDER TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES. USE LONG NOSE PLIERS TO PULL
THE PIN OUT OF THE HOLE. IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE
ALARM FROM THE MOUNTING PLATE.
8. After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down the
test button for at least 5 seconds. This should sound the alarm.
