After selecting the proper location for your Alarm, and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as
described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the mounting bracket to the electrical box. To ensure
aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket must be
parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.
•
Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the mounting bracket and secure the bracket,
making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening
the screws.
If you are installing for wireless interconnect function, and have not yet setup your wireless alarm
network, do not connect your wireless unit to the AC quick connect harness or mounting bracket yet. Go back
to Section 9: ACTIVATION AND WIRELESS ALARM NETWORK. If you are not using the wireless interconnect
function, or if you have finished wireless alarm setup, then proceed with the following three steps.
•
Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the wiring harness attached to the unit, making sure that the locks
on the connector snap into place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box through the
hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
•
Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction.
NOTE:
The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).
NOTE:
Installing the alarm on the mounting bracket will automatically activate the battery backup.
•
Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC
power.
NOTE:
Wireless units will emit a series of LED blinks, tones, and voices as the unit(s) search for a wireless
alarm network. If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these
notifications, and the wireless function will turn off in about 15 minutes. You can turn the wireless
function on again at a later date if desired. See Section 9.2.
NOTE:
Attaching AC power first, without rotating the alarm onto the mounting bracket, will result in a low
battery trouble condition chirp and voice message saying, “Replace Alarm” (see Troubleshooting Guide).
You need to activate the battery to eliminate the low battery trouble condition chirps and voice message.
Attach unit to mounting bracket very soon after applying AC power to avoid false low battery notification.
