Installation
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. As indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the
alarm cover.
• 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 (Figure 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 to screw the anchor
holes.
• Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery
compartment while inserting the battery (Figure 3E).
WARNING:
Please ensure batteries are inserted
correctly with positive and negative terminals connected
to the corresponding point on the smoke alarm.
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.
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 (Figure 3D) until it locks in place.
