5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY – WIRING REQUIREMENTS

This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or recognized junction box. All connections should be made by a qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdic- tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.

The appropriate power source is 110-130 Volts AC single phase supplied from a non-switched circuit, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.

MODEL SL177i WIRING INSTRUCTIONS: For AC QUICK CONNECT 3 WIRE HARNESS.

WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These type of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid installa- tions, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.

CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE WIRING THE STROBE LIGHT.

1.When Strobe lights and alarms are interconnected, all the interconnected devices must be powered from the same circuit.

2.A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected in a multiple sta- tion arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA inter- connect limits of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, Carbon Monoxide, etc). With 18 interconnected alarms it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
