ALARM REMOVAL
IF TAMPER RESIST PIN HAS BEEN USED, REFER TO TAMPER RESIST LOCK-
ING PIN IN SECTION 3 FOR PIN REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.
To replace the batteries or the lamp (models i12040 and i12080 only), remove
the alarm fr
om the trim ring by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF”
arrow on the cover (see section 3, figure 7). To disconnect the AC power harness,
squeeze the locking arms on the sides of the Quick Connector while pulling the
connector away from the bottom of the alarm (see section 3, figure 6).
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
(models i12040 and i12080 only)
To replace or install the batteries you must first remove the alarm from the trim
ring by following the ALARM REMOVAL instructions at
the beginning of this section. After alarm has been
removed , you can open the battery door and install or
replace the battery. Battery installation instructions are
provided on the inside of the battery door.
When installing the battery, press the battery reminder
finger down into the battery compartment and install
the battery (see figure 9).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER(s) are NOT HELD DOWN IN
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY, THE BA
TTERY DOOR
WILL NOT CLOSE, THE AC QUICK CONNECTOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE
ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE TRIM RING.
The i12040 and i12080 smoke alarms use a 9V backup battery (Carbon zinc,
alkaline and lithium batteries may be used). A fresh battery should last for one
year under normal operating conditions. These models have a low/missing bat-
tery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every
30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low.
Replace the battery(s) when this condition occurs.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM BAT-
TER
Y REPLACEMENT.
