 DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power 

at the main fuse box or circuit breaker by removing the fuse or 

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 AS/NZS Wiring Rules AS3000 Standards.

• The appropriate power source is 240VAC 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.

 

Wiring instructions for AC harness 

!

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.

5. Wiring Instructions

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.
