DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power

switching the circuit breaker to the OFF position and securing
it. An all-pole mains switch with a contact separation of at
least 3mm in each pole shall be incorporated in the electrical
installation of the building.
WARNING: THIS SMOKE ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY
QUALIFIED (LICENSED) ELECTRICIANS ONLY.
Wiring Requirements
• This smoke alarm should be installed with an AS/NZS Wiring
Rules approved junction box. All connections must be installed
by a qualified electrician and be in accordance with the relevant
requirements of the SAA Wiring Rules AS3000.
• The appropriate power source is 240V AC 50Hz continuous single
phase sine wave current supplied from a non-switchable circuit
which is not protected by a RCD.
•
WARNING:
This alarm cannot be operated from power
derived from a square wave or modified square wave inverter.
These type of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to
the structure in off grid installations, 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 ALARM
• For alarms that are used as single station,
DO NOT CONNECT THE
RED WIRE TO ANYTHING
. Leave the red wire insulating cap in
place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any metal
parts or the electrical box.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be
powered from a single circuit.

4. Locations To Avoid
• Avoid dead air spaces such as the peak of an
“A”
frame ceiling.
“Dead Air”
at the top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm
in time to provide early warning. Refer to
Figure 2A
and
2B
.
N.B. - Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector
guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
