INTERCONNECTING
SMOKE ALARMS
•
Use 1.5mm 2 minimum solid or stranded wire with a rating of 230V. When
interconnecting, maximum wire length between any two is 450 m for
1.5mm
2 or 1200 m for 2.5mm 2 (20 OHMS loop resistance).
•
This smoke alarm may be interconnected with as many as 35 other
Models GC240, I240C, PG240, PAD240, PADC240, IAR230C, and
PAR230 smoke alarms. DO NOT connect to any other type or model
smoke alarm.
•
Connect smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do
not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
Wiring must conform to IEE Regulations for electrical installation.
