TAMPER-RESIST fEATURE
NOTE: Do not use the tamper-resist feature if the removal tool is to be used.
The detector base includes a tamper-resist feature that prevents removal of the
detector without using a small screwdriver or similar tool.
To activate this feature, use needle-nose pliers to break the tab on the detector
base as shown in Figure 4A. Then, install the detector.
To remove the detector from the base once the tamper-resist feature has been
activated, insert a small-bladed screwdriver into the small hole on the side of
the base and push the plastic lever away from the detector head (see Figure
4B). This allows the detector to be rotated counterclockwise for removal.
The tamper-resist feature can be defeated by breaking and removing the plas-
tic lever from the base. However, this prevents the feature from being used
again.

REMOTE ANNUNCIATOR (RA400Z/RA100Z)
The remote annunciator is connected between terminals 1 and 3 using the
spade lug terminal packed with the remote annunciator. The spade lug termi-
nal is connected to the base terminal as shown in Figure 5.
It is not acceptable to have three stripped wires under the same wiring termi-
nal unless they are separated by a washer or equivalent means. The spade lug
supplied with the model RA400Z/RA100Z is considered an equivalent means.
See Figure 2 for proper installation.
