3. Installation Instructions
• When mixing models which have battery backup (i12040CA,
i12040ACA, i12060CA, i12060ACA, i12080CA, 1275CA, 1276CA,
1285CA, PE120CA, P12040CA, Pi2000CA, Pi2010CA, KN-COSM-IBCA,
KNSMFM-I-CA, KN-COB-ICB-CA, KN-COPE-ICA, KN-COP-IC-CA) with
models without battery backup, (i12020CA, i12020ACA,1235CA,
KN-COSM-ICA, SM120X, CO120X, SL177i) be advised that the
models without battery backup will not respond
during an AC power failure.
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an
interconnected system is 1000 feet.
• Figure 4 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will
result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power
line. NOTE: Use approved household wire (as required by local codes)
available at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.
• For alarms that are used as a 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 does not come into contact with
any metal parts or the electrical box.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
1. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in
section 1, install a compatible electrical box.
2. Connect the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS and, attach the included mounting bracket to the
electrical box using the included hardware in the appropriate mounting
holes (see figure 5). Be sure the foam seal on the mounting bracket
completely covers the electrical box cut out hole and makes complete
contact with the ceiling/wall surface. The mounting bracket is keyed so
that the alarm fits in one orientation only. Pull the AC QUICK
CONNECTOR through the center hole in the mounting bracket.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE BRACKET SCREWS. ENSURE
THE MOUNTING BRACKET IS NOT DEFORMED OR STRESSED ONCE
IT IS INSTALLED. USE ONLY MOUNTING HARDWARE PROVIDED. USE
OF ANY OTHER MOUNTING HARDWARE MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO
NOT ATTACH CORRECTLY POSSIBLY EFFECTING ITS PERFORMANCE.
3. After you have finished wiring the Quick Connect harness and
attaching the mounting bracket, install the alarm on the bracket.
Insure the alarm is properly aligned to prevent breaking the keying
