IMPORTANT INSTALLATION PARTS
The Mounting Bracket:
To remove the mounting
bracket from the
Smoke/CO Alarm base,
hold the alarm base firmly
and twist the mounting
bracket off. The mounting
bracket installs onto the
junction box. It has a vari-
ety of screw slots to fit
most boxes.
The Power Connector: The power
connector plugs into a power input block
on the Smoke/CO Alarm. It supplies the
unit with AC power.
• The black wire is “hot.”
• The white wire is neutral.
• The white/gray stripe wire is used for
interconnect.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power
to the area where the Alarm is installed before
removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure
to turn off the power first may result in serious
electrical shock, injury or death.
If you need to remove the power connector, 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.
LOCKING FEATURES
The locking features are designed to prevent
unauthorized removal of the battery or Alarm. It is
not necessary to activate the locks in single-family
households where unauthorized battery or Alarm
removal is not a concern.
These Alarms have two separate locking
features: one to lock the battery compartment, and
the other to lock the Alarm to the mounting bracket.
You can choose to use either feature independently,
or use them both.
Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility
knife • Standard/Flathead screwdriver.
Both locking features
use locking pins,
which are molded into
the mounting bracket.
Using needle nose
pliers or a utility knife,
remove one or both
pins from the mount-
ing bracket, depend-
ing on how many
locking features you
want to use.
To permanently remove either lock, insert a flathead
screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock,
and pry the pin out of the lock.
