Before Installing

Installation & Interconnecting Smoke Alarms

1. Strip the Active/Neutral and Interconnect (if used) wires back to the strip length shown in below.
2. Connect the wires to the correct terminals on the base and ensure the terminal screws are fully tightened.
3. Screw the mounting base onto the ceiling or wall using plugs and screws.
4. Clip the smoke alarm on to the base and install the 9V battery. The smoke alarm will not latch to the base unless battery is installed.
5. Turn on the mains power and check that the green and red LEDs function. The Green LED should illuminate to show mains power present. The Red LED will pulse every 40-60 seconds to indicate correct operation and that the 9V battery is charged.
6. Press the Test/Hush button for 3 seconds to check the alarm works. Installation is not complete until both LEDs are functioning correctly.

Use a minimum of 1.0 mm2 250V insulated wire for all wiring, including interconnecting wiring.

NOTICE – EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION COMPLIANCE

This smoke alarm must be installed in accordance with Australian Code and standards and any local state legislation requirements. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a non-compliant installation

CAUTION

• Red LED flashes very quickly (3 times per second) without sound. That means neutral connection is bad or wiring is incorrect.
• Please check wiring and connection of smoke alarms with flashing red LED and rectify wiring issue immediately.
