Mounting
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
•
Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by
holding the plate and twisting the alarm anti-clockwise in
the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm
cover.
•
The smoke alarm is suitable for wall mounting.
•
After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as
described previously, hold the mounting plate against
the selected installation location (wall or ceiling) and
mark the centre of the holes with a pencil. To ensure
aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or
wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be
parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or
horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A and 3B). Drill a
hole through the pencil marks and use the enclosed
screws and anchors to secure the mounting plate. Use
a 3/16 inch drill bit for the screw anchor holes.
•
Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery
compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E) .
CAUTION: If the battery reminder tab is not held down in
the battery compartment by the battery, the unit will not
attach to the mounting plate.
•
Corresponding alignment marks are provided on the
edge of the mounting plate and the alarm. After installing
the mounting plate, place the alarm onto the mounting
plate, making sure the alignment marks are lined up.
Twist the alarm clockwise in the direction indicated by
the “ON” arrow on the alarm cover (Image 3D) until it
locks in place.
