Universal Security Instruments SS-795 manual Wires From Quick Connector, Connect To

b.Turn off main power to the circuit before wiring the smoke alarm.

c.There are three pigtail leads (black, white and yellow) coming from the AC QUICK CONNECTOR. The proper wire connection is as follows:

WIRES FROM QUICK CONNECTOR	CONNECT TO
BLACK	"HOT" side of AC line
WHITE	"NEUTRAL" side of AC line
YELLOW	Interconnect wires of other units

For units that are used as single smoke alarms, do not connect the yellow wire to anything. Insulate this wire (tape it) in place to make certain the yellow wire cannot contact any metal parts.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11 other UNIVERSAL model smoke alarms such as SS-785, SS-790, SS-795, SS-911, SS-2895 and 6 other units which may be a combination of Carbon Monoxide Alarms such as CD-9385, CD-9390, CD-9485, CD-9490, CD-9795, Heat Alarms/HD-130 or Relay Modules/RM-100 for a total of not more than 18 interconnected devices.

Interconnected CO alarms will only respond if a CO alarm / event initiates the alarm. All other alarms remain silent.

Interconnected smoke alarms, heat alarms and relay modules will only respond if a smoke alarm / event or heat alarm / event initiates the alarm. All CO alarms remain silent.

Note that units without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure. NOTE: Relay Modules/RM-100 will not respond if a CO alarm / event initiates the alarm.

The yellow wire is used only for multiple station operation with UNIVERSAL models only. Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may result in damage. When smoke alarms are interconnected, all units must be powered from a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. The maximum wire run distance between the first and last smoke alarm in an interconnected system is 1,000 feet. NOTE: Use standard household wire (18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V, as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply/hardware stores.

The wiring to be used shall be in accordance with the provisions of Articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In addition, the resistance of the interconnecting wiring shall be a maximum of 10 Ohms.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of, the bedrooms) and heat or smoke alarms in living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility storage rooms, basements and attached garages. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper operation.

3.Attach the mounting ring to the electrical junction box.

4.To activate 9 volt battery and smoke alarm, pull and remove the thin colored plastic tab at the battery door hinge. Discard plastic tab.

5.Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTORS together. Push and turn the smoke alarm clockwise onto the mounting ring.

6.See "TAMPER LOCKING PIN."

7.Turn on AC power and check the LED's for proper operation. The green LED lights to indicate AC power. The red LED will flash every 40-60 seconds to indicate proper operation.
