How to Install Your CO Alarm
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power at the main fuse box or cir-
cuit breaker by removing the fuse or switching the circuit breaker to the
OFF position.
Check local codes for specific mounting requirements in your area.
Once you have decided the best place to install the CO
alarm(s), follow these steps:
1. From back of CO alarm, slide mounting plate and lift from
base. See Figure 1.
2. For Model COQ6 only: Connect new 9-volt battery to battery
connector inside compartment and slide door closed snap-
ping it into place.
New 9V battery comes from the factory installed
backwards inside the battery compartment. Replace battery with
Eveready 216, 522, 1222 or equivalent from your local retailer.
3. Align mounting plate with junction box mounting holes.
4. Gently pull household wires through center hole of mounting plate.
5. Secure mounting plate to junction box.
6. With a small wire connector, connect white wire from the CO alarm to white house-
hold wire.
7. Connect black wire from the CO alarm to
the black household wire.
8. For interconnecting CO alarms only:
• Use #18 AWG minimum solid or
stranded wire. When interconnecting,
maximum wire length between any two
units is 1,500 feet for #18 AWG or
4,000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS
loop resistance.) See Figure 2.
• This CO alarm may be interconnected
with as many as 11 other Firex CO alarms of the same model. DO NOT connect
to any other type or model CO alarm or other device.
• Connect CO alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit
connection to a single AC branch circuit, be sure the neutral wire is common to all
circuits used.
9. Plug wiring harness clip onto pins on the back
of the unit.
10. Align tabs on back of base with slots on side
of mounting plate. Slide base down to lock
into position. See Figure 3.
11. Turn power on at the main fuse box or circuit
breaker. The CO alarm will flash the red LED
and emit a short beep during its power-up
cycle. The green POWER light will stay on as
long as the CO alarm is receiving AC power.
