Caution! Kidde alarms and accessories CAN ONLY BE interconnected with other Kidde alarms and accessories. Connection of these devices to another manufactures interconnect system, or connection with equipment from another manufacturer into an existing Kidde system could result in nuisance alarming, failure to alarm, or damage to one or all of the devices in the interconnect system. •When mixing models which have battery backup with models without battery backup, be advised that the models without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure. •For more information about compatible interconnect units and their functionality in an interconnect system, visit our web site at: • The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system is 1000 feet. •Figure 1 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard. •Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power line. NOTE: Use standard UL listed household wire (18 gauge or larger as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.

Line Red Interconnect Lines (Red Wires) of Other Units in the Multiple Station Set up BATTERY INSTALLATION See MAINTENANCE (Section 6) for battery installation. CAUTION! THIS UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT A PROPERLY INSTALLED BATTERY, AND IS EQUIPPED WITH A BATTERY LOCKOUT FEATURE WHICH PREVENTS THE BATTERY CARRIER FROM CLOSING IF A BATTERY IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE! CAUTION: WHEN WALL MOUNTING: UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED SO THAT BATTERY BOX FACES DOWN! (SEE FIGURE 1A) 1. Remove the trim ring from the back of the alarm by holding the trim ring and twisting the alarm counter-clockwise. 2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1 and wiring the AC Quick Connector as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the trim ring to the electrical box (see Figure 2). To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted. 3. Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the mounting bracket and secure the bracket, making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening the screws. FIGURE 1A When wall mounting, the “A” line should FIGURE 2 be horizontal. When mounting in a hallway, the “A” line should be parallel with Remove the hallway. Install A A Alignment Marks 4. Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see Figure 3), making sure that the locks on the connector snap into place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket. 5. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate the alarm clockwise until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). When wall mounting, make sure the battery box is at the bottom of the unit. (see Figure 1A) 6. Pull the Battery Pull Tab (yellow tab protruding from the unit) FIGURE 3 completely out of the unit. This will automatically connect the battery. 7. Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test Button. (All interconnected, battery backed up, alarms should respond.) CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an arms length away from the unit when testing. 8. Turn on the AC power. The green Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power. Confirm unit operation by pressing the test button. Tamper Resist Features Smoke Alarm Tamper Resist Feature This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which prevents someone from removing the unit from the trim plate. When used in conjunction with the Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature, it can be very effective in preventing smoke alarm tampering and battery removal. Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the trim ring (see Figure 4 A). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on the mounting bracket. Using the tamper resist feature will deter children and others from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off the bracket (see Figure 4 B) FIGURE 4A FIGURE 4B Locations of Post...
