Step 2: Ensure Alarms are Linked/Paired

Before mounting the alarms, it is important to ensure they are paired. Paired alarms mean that if one alarm is trigger, all othere alarms will also activate. You can test if the alarms are paired by switching all alarms on then press the test button on one alarm. All alarms should activate with 20 seconds of the the first alarm. If any of the alarms do not activate then follow the pairing procedure found here.

Step 3: Mounting the Alarms

Use the ladder to reach the ceiling. Mark the spots where you’ll install the alarms. Drill holes at these spots and insert wall plugs. Attach the mounting plate of each alarm to the ceiling using screws.

Step 4: Testing the System

Once all alarms are installed and interlinked, test the system. Press the test button on one alarm. All alarms should sound, indicating that they are correctly interlinked.
