3.3 Battery Connection and Initial Test
Attention:
The detector battery cover is fitted with a red button that
prevents the detector from locking onto bracket if there is no battery
inside.
The smoke detector is supplied with a 3V CR123A / CR17450 battery.
Battery connection for both types of batteries is illustrated in Figure 3a
and 3b below.

Open battery cover and
connect the battery to its

Note:
When the battery first makes contact, the alarm horn may
sound for one second. This indicates that the battery is connected
properly.
Close the cover, then press the test button (see fig. 1) for about 5
seconds, (for further details see par. 3.6).
3.4 Resetting the Transmitter Module
and Enrolling its PowerCode ID
The detector has a wall / rear tamper switch to alert removal of
detector. The tamper switch actuator, extending through a hole in the
base (see Figure 3), is pressed against the bracket when the unit is
attached to the bracket.
Removal of the unit from the bracket will cause the switch contacts to
open, creating a tamper event, which will be reported by the transmitter
to the control panel.
Refer to the control panel’s installation instructions and follow the
procedure given there for enrolling transmitter IDs in the control panel's
memory.
When required to initiate a transmission for enrollment, press the smoke
detector’s test button (see fig. 1) until the built-in horn sounds, or press
the tamper switch.
Note:
It is much easier to carry out this operation while holding the
MCT-426 / MCT-427 in your hand, close to the control panel.
