The basic installation of this Heat Alarm is the similar whether you want to <br />install one Heat Alarm, or interconnect more than one Heat Alarm. If you <br />are interconnecting more than one Heat Alarm, you MUST read “Special <br />Requirements for Interconnected Heat Alarms” below before you begin <br />installation. <br />ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you <br />will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning <br />installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result <br />in serious electrical shock, injury or death. <br />1. Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Position the screw slots <br />on the mounting bracket over the screws in the junction box. Tighten <br />the screws. <br />2. Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household wiring. <br />Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to the <br />power connector will cause damage to the Alarm and may lead to a <br />non-functioning Alarm. <br />3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Heat Alarm. <br />4.Position the base of the Alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. The <br />Alarm can be positioned over the bracket every 60°. Turn the Alarm <br />clockwise (right) until the unit is in place. <br />5. Check all connections. <br />ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all Heat <br />Alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is <br />complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death. <br />6. Make sure the Heat Alarm is receiving AC power. Under normal <br />operation, the green light (LED) will shine continuously. <br />7. If the green power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO <br />THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections. If all connections are <br />correct and the power indicator still does not light when you restore the <br />power, the unit should be replaced immediately. <br />8. Test each Heat Alarm. Press the Test/Silence button until you hear a brief <br />acknowledge (or feedback) chirp. The alarm will sound: 3 beeps, pause, <br />3 beeps, pause. <br />When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each <br />unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested. <br />If any unit in the series does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and recheck <br />connections. If it does not alarm during testing when you restore power, <br />replace it immediately. <br />SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED HEAT ALARMS <br />• Failure to meet any of these requirements could damage the units <br />and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection. <br />Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone <br />units, especially if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit <br />in the series senses heat, all units will alarm. <br />Interconnect units within a single family residence only. Otherwise all house- <br />holds will experience unwanted alarms when you test any unit in the series. <br />Interconnected units will only work if they are wired to compatible units and <br />all requirements are met. This unit is designed to be compatible with: <br />First Alert®Smoke Alarm Models SA4120, SA4121B, SA4919B, SA100B <br />and BRK Electronics®Smoke Alarm Models 100S, 2002RAC, 4120, 4120B, <br />4120SB, 4919, 5919, 5919TH; BRK Electronics®Smoke/CO Alarm Model <br />SC6120B. <br />Interconnected units must meet ALL of the following requirements: <br />• A maximum of 18 compatible Smoke, Heat or CO Alarms may be <br />interconnected. To comply with NFPA limits, no more than 12 of the <br />18 alarms may be Smoke Alarms. <br />• The same fuse or circuit breaker must power all interconnected units. <br />• All wiring must conform to all local electrical codes and NFPA 70 (NEC). <br />Refer to NFPA, Chapter 2 and/or your local building code for further <br />connection requirements. <br />FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS <br />STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY: <br />• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in <br />the junction box. <br />• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the <br />junction box. <br />• Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for <br />interconnect only. <br />INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY: <br />Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange <br />wire on the power connector. <br />• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in <br />the junction box. <br />• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the <br />junction box. <br />•Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect <br />wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. <br />Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the orange <br />interconnect wire. Damage may result. <br />• Never cross-connect hot and neutral wires between interconnected <br />Alarms. Damage will result. <br />STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY: <br />• If you are only installing one Heat Alarm, restore power to the <br />junction box. <br />INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY: <br />• If you are interconnecting multiple Heat Alarms, repeat steps 1-5 <br />for each Heat Alarm in the series. When you are finished, restore <br />power to the junction box. <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />4 <br />3 <br />1 <br />5 <br />4 <br />3 <br />1 <br />5 <br />2 <br />A B}} <br />A.
