Using this feature will help deter children and others from
removing the alarm from the mounting plate. With the blocks
removed the tamper resist feature will be activated when the
alarm is installed on the mounting plate.
7. REMOVING ALARM WITH TAMPER RESIST FEATURE ACTIVE
The tamper resist tab will have to be
released in order to change the bat-
tery. Using a tool (small screwdriver)
pull the tamper resist tab away from
the mounting plate (See figure 9).
With the tamper resist tab held away
from the alarm and rotate the alarm
in the off direction.
8. After installation, test your alarm by
depressing and holding down the test
button for several seconds, this should sound the alarm.
INTERCONNECTING ALARMS.
(MODEL 29HIJ ONLY)
This model is equipped with interconnect capability. When alarms
are interconnected in a multiple station arrangement they must
not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms.
CAUTION! Do not interconnect with AC smoke alarms and
do not connect to AC power. Doing so will damage the
alarm and present a shock hazard.
The total length of wire that can be used in the interconnect sys-
tem is 650 ft (200 Meters). The interconnect wires should not be
routed near fluorescent or discharge type lighting fixtures. Total
Wire Diameter (including insulation) should be between 1.5 mm
and 2.4mm, with a Conductor Diameter not less than 0.9mm.
Wire access slots are provided on both sides of the alarm mount-
ing plate. Use pliers to breakout the desired access slot (see figure
10). Once the breakout has been removed, the wires can be rout-
ed to the screw connection (See figure 11). Be sure to observe the
wire polarity and connect all interconnected alarms utilizing the
correct polarity. It is possible to have more than one wire connect-
ed to each screw (see figure 12).
