INSTALLATION OF THE
ADK ADAPTER PLUG
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you
will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning
installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in
serious electrical shock, injury or death. Do not restore power until all
Smoke Alarms are completely installed.
• Installation of this unit must conform to the electrical codes in your
area; Article 760 of NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 72, NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI);
UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or
building codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must be per-
formed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines
may result in injury or property damage.
• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC pure sine wave 60Hz
circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer,
