Locations To Avoid
Note: Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless
the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found
suitable for that purpose.
Wiring Requirements
• This smoke alarm must be installed with an AS/NZS Wiring Rules
approved cable or equipment. All connections must be installed by a
qualified electrician and be in accordance with the relevant require-
ments of the AS/NZS Wiring Rules AS 3000 Standards.
• The appropriate power source is 240VAC 50Hz continuous single
phase sine wave current supplied from a non-switchable circuit which
is not protected by a RCD.
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power at
the main fuse box or circuit breaker by removing the fuse or
switching the circuit breaker to the OFF position and securing
it.
Installation
WARNING: THIS SMOKE ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY
QUALIFIED (LICENSED) ELECTRICIANS ONLY.
WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived
from a square wave or modified square wave inverter. These type of
inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid
installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These
power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.
Wiring Instructions
Caution! Turn off the main power to the circuit before wiring
the alarm.
• For alarms that are used as single station, interconnect cable
terminal (I/C) on alarm is unused.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be
powered from a single AC circuit.
• A maximum of 24 Quell safety devices may be interconnected in a
multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system should not
exceed the interconnect limit of 24 units.
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit
in an interconnected system is 307 meters. Figure 3 illustrates
interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in damage to
the alarm, failure to operate, or electrical shock hazard.
