Installation
9
• Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the alarm in
the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm
ratchets into place (Image 3D). This ratcheting function allows
for aesthetic alignment.
Note: The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in
4 positions (every 90 degrees). When wall mounting, make
sure the battery door is at the bottom of the unit (Image 3C).
Battery
This unit will not function without a properly installed battery,
and is equipped with a battery lockout feature which prevents the
battery door from closing if a battery is not installed correctly.
See
Maintenance
section for additional information concerning
battery installation.
• For initial installation a pre-installed 9 V battery is included
with a battery pull tab that allows for easy connection. Simply
pull the tab out, and the battery is connected! See
Maintenance
for additional information concerning battery
installation.
• Pull the Battery Pull Tab (yellow tab protruding from the unit)
completely out of the unit. This will automatically connect the
battery.
Testing
• Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test
button.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always
stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.
The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed and
testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization sensor
chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud
(85db) alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
