2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location
as described on Page 2, attach the mounting
bracket to the ceiling as shown in
Figure 2A
. For
wall mounting see
Figure 3A
. Place the mounting
plate on the wall; be sure the “A” line is horizontal (parallel to the floor). Use

3. This alarm has a battery permanently sealed inside the alarm.
No battery installation or maintenance is necessary.
Note:
Extensive cycling between high and low temperatures will significantly reduce
battery life. Long term exposure to high temperatures will degrade the battery
over time. Fire Knight recommends locating this alarm in a controlled temperature
environment (20-30°C) for optimum life.
ACTIVATING THE ALARM
Once activated, the battery will supply power to the alarm or the life of the alarm
(10 years). Ensure that the mounting bracket is mounted correctly before installing
the alarm on he mounting bracket.
2. To activate the alarm, install the alarm on the mounting bracket (
Figure 3C
)
and rotate the alarm clockwise (as indicated on the alarm cover) until the
alarm snaps into place.
The alarm is now activated!
WARNING:
Alarm will not operate if it is not fixed on mounting plate.
3. After installation/activation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down
the Test button for a minimum of 1 second (or until the alarm sounds).
This should sound the alarm. The alarm will sound at a low level to avoid
discomfort. If the Test button is pressed for greater than 5 seconds, the
alarm will sound at the full 85 decibels and may cause some discomfort.
1. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the
alarm with the hallway or wall, the
“A” line on the mounting bracket
should be parallel with the hallway
when ceiling mounting or horizontal
when wall mounting.
