Any Space- Replacing an Existing Alarm

Turn Circuit Off
• Switch off the circuit breaker for the old alarm.
• This may be different from the circuit breaker for other electrical connections in the room.
• The old alarm might alert when disconnected.

Detach Old Alarm

• Detach the old alarm from the mounting bracket. This may require a quarter turn counterclockwise.
• Before touching the wires, use a voltage detector to ensure the power is off.

• The old alarm will be suspended from the wires. Twist the wire connectors counterclockwise to detach them and ensure the exposed wires are straight for the next installation. The interconnect wire may be red, yellow, orange, or striped.
•  Remove the mounting bracket for the old alarm.

Install New PLACE Device

NOTE: The existing interconnect wire may be red, yellow, orange, or striped.
• Verify the battery pull tab on the back of the device has been removed.
• Start with the white wire from the provided wire harness. Hold the ends together, cap them with a wire connector, and twist clockwise until secure.
• Repeat process for black wires.
• Repeat process for colored wires.
• Install mounting bracket to existing electrical box using the screws provided.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the screws or the bracket will not mount properly. Ensure the logo is visible.
• Plug the 120V connector into the back of the new alarm.
• Tuck all the wires into the electrical box.

• Push the new alarm against the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise until you feel
the tabs grip the mounting bracket securely.
• Turn on the circuit breaker to restore power and look for the green indicator light
to confirm it has been wired correctly.

NOTE: If a Setup Error screen appears in the app, ensure all wires are installed and connected properly and power is restored. Tap the Support button for further assistance.
Interconnection of Multiple Alarms
Wire used for interconnection shall be in accordance with article 760 of the latest edition of National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and must not exceed a resistance of 10 ohms.
1. Run a minimum of 16 gauge, 3-conductor cable, plus ground (4 wires) to the first
junction box from a dedicated branch circuit and between all smoke/CO alarms that
are to be connected together. Use ANSI/UL Listed wire for Class 1 requirements.
Power limited cable for multiple interconnections is available at many commercial
electrical retail stores. The interconnect line is only required between detectors.
2. Make wire connections to the supplied wire harness as follows: black to black, white
to white, 3rd conductor to the brown/yellow wire. The brown/yellow wire should be
stripped to make the connection. Connect ground wire between metal outlet boxes.
