The Mounting Bracket:
To remove the mounting bracket from the Smoke
Alarm base, hold the Smoke Alarm base firmly and
twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise. The
mounting bracket installs onto the junction box. It
has a variety of screw slots to fit most boxes.
The Power Connector:
The power connector plugs into a power input block on the
Smoke Alarm. It supplies the unit with mains (AC) power.
• The brown wire is “hot.”
• The blue wire is neutral.
• The orange wire is used for interconnect.
If you need to remove the power connector, turn
POWER OFF at the mains first
. Insert a flat screwdriver
blade between the power connector and the security tab
inside the power input block. Gently pry back the tab and
pull the connector free.

The basic installation of this Smoke Alarm is similar whether you want to
install one Smoke Alarm, or interconnect more than one Smoke Alarm. If
you are interconnecting more than one Smoke Alarm, you MUST read
“Special Requirements For Interconnected Smoke Alarms” below before
you begin installation.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you
will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning
installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in
serious electrical shock, injury or death.
This Smoke Alarm shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
1. Install a junction box or a ceiling pattress (BRK Model SMK839 or
SMK839RCB) where you plan to install the Alarm if a box is not already
installed. Use standard 1.5mm
2
solid copper cable.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Install the mounting
bracket on the junction box or ceiling pattress using the screw slots
that fit the junction box you are using.
Model 7010BE:
Activate the battery back-up by removing the “Pull to
Activate Battery Back-Up” tab. Or, install battery back-up. Battery
back-up cannot work until you install the battery in the correct position
(Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”).
Model 7010LBE: Activate the lithium cell by removing the activation
tab.
Pull firmly on the tab until it is completely removed. The unit will
sound briefly when the battery is activated. Failure to activate the
Smoke Alarm will remove your protection and invalidate your guarantee.
Alarm may activate for up to 30 seconds.
The lithium cell is protected by a removable tab in the factory to
keep it fresh until the Smoke Alarm is installed. The protective tab
must be removed before installing the Smoke Alarm or the lithium
cell back-up will not operate.
Push and hold test button until the alarm sounds: beep, beep, beep...
3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Smoke Alarm.
4. Position the base of the Smoke Alarm over the mounting bracket and
turn. The Alarm can be positioned over the bracket every 90°. Turn the
Smoke Alarm clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.
5. Check all connections.
Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to the
power connector will cause damage to the Alarm and may lead to a
non-functioning Alarm.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all Smoke
Alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is
complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.
6. Make sure the Smoke Alarm is receiving mains (AC) power. Under normal
operation, the Green power indicator light will shine continuously.
HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM
THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM
This Smoke Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 100mm (4”) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes).
Read “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” before you begin installation.
Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility knife
•
Standard Flathead screwdriver.
FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS
STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:
•
Connect the blue wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in
the junction box.
•
Connect the brown wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the
junction box.
•
Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for
interconnect only.
INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:
Strip off about 12 mm (1/2”) of the plastic coating on the orange wire
on the power connector.
•
Connect the blue wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in
the junction box.
•
Connect the brown wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the
junction box.
•
Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect
wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting.
Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the orange
interconnect wire. Never cross hot and neutral wires between Alarms.
STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:
•
If you are only installing one Smoke Alarm, restore power to the
junction box.
INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:
•
If you are interconnecting multiple Smoke Alarms, repeat steps
1-5 for each Smoke Alarm in the series. When you are finished,
restore power to the junction box.
Make sure the Alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the same circuit, power from a
generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy power may cause damage to your
Alarm.
7. If the Green power indicator light does not light,
TURN OFF POWER TO
THE JUNCTION BOX
and recheck all connections. If all connections are
correct and the Green power indicator still does not light when you
restore the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.
8. Test each Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the
unit alarms.
When testing a series of interconnected units you must
test each unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one
is tested.
If any unit in the series does not alarm,
TURN OFF POWER
and
recheck connections. If it does not alarm when you restore power, replace it
immediately.
