There are three pigtail leads (black, white and yellow) coming from the AC QUICK
CONNECTOR. The proper wire connection is as follows:

WIRES FROM QUICK CONNECTOR

CONNECT TO

BLACK

"HOT" side of AC line

WHITE

"NEUTRAL" side of AC line

YELLOW

Interconnect wires of other units

For units that are used as single smoke alarms, do not connect the yellow wire to anything.
Insulate this wire (tape it) in place to make certain the yellow wire cannot contact any metal
parts.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially if a
fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses smoke, all units will
alarm. This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 11 other UNIVERSAL model
smoke alarms and 6 other units which may be a combination of HD-130 Heat Alarms or RM-
100 Relay Modules for a total of not more than 18 interconnected devices.

The yellow wire is used only for multiple station operation with UNIVERSAL Models SS-785,
SS-790 AND SS-795 only. Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may result in
damage. When smoke alarms are interconnected, all units must be powered from a single AC
branch circuit. If local codes do not permit be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
The maximum wire run distance between the first and last smoke alarm in an interconnected
system is 1,000 feet. NOTE: Use standard household wire (18 gauge or larger, rated at least
300V, as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply/hardware stores.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in
all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate
sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of, the bedrooms) and heat or smoke alarms in
living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility storage
rooms, basements and attached garages. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper
operation.

3.

Attach the mounting ring to the electrical junction box.

4.

To activate 9 volt battery and smoke alarm, pull and remove the thin colored plastic tab at
battery door hinge. Discard plastic tab.

5.

Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTORS together. Push and turn the smoke alarm clockwise onto
the mounting ring.

6.

See "TAMPER LOCKING PIN."

7.

Turn on AC power and check the LED's for proper operation. The green LED lights to indicate
AC power. The red LED will flash every 40-60 seconds to indicate proper operation.
