WIRELESS SMOKE ALARM INTERCONNECT BASE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base part number 51000-300 is a 120V AC 

powered sensor. It monitors the interconnect line on interconnected hardwired smoke 

alarm systems and sends out a transmission when any of the smoke alarm units on the 

same circuit enter an alarm state. The device has LEDs to visually indicate the status of the 

interconnect base. A single CR2032 ba� ery provides backup power in the event that AC 

power is lost on the alarm system circuit. The Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base 

communicates with a compa� ble control panel and can send alarm, low ba� ery, AC power 

loss, and supervisory messages to the system's receiver.

IMPORTANT: This device must be tested and maintained regularly. This device is intended 

for use with compa� ble smoke alarms, but will not detect the presence of smoke, heat, or 

 re directly.

 

✓

Note: Each of the smoke alarms part of interconnected smoke alarms must be:

• Present in every required loca� on per NFPA 72,11.5.1

• Con rmed as less than ten years from date of installa� on (or manufacture). Please 

check label on the device or original smoke detector device manual.

• Hardwired to a single, common 120V AC circuit designated for interconnected smoke 

alarms.

• Pass the manufacturer's stated tes� ng regimen to con rm proper interconnect 

opera� on.

• Have fresh back-up ba� eries.

• On the list of compa� ble models (any model not listed may work but has not been 

compa� bility tested).

• This device shall not be installed in loca� ons where the normal ambient temperature 

is below 40F(4.4C) or exceeds 100F (37.8C), unless the alarm has been determined 

capable of being used at installa� on points with higher or lower ambient temperatures.

• Please see sec� on at the end regarding informa� on on the proper installa� on of smoke 

alarms that are intended to work with the Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base.

This device is not intended to work with smoke alarms paired with smoke alarm guards, 

unless the combina� on has been evaluated and found suitable for this purpose.

CAUTION:  Before a� emp� ng  installa� on, locate the primary electrical circuit that 

powers the interconnected hardwired smoke alarm system and shut off  or disconnect 

power to this circuit. An electrical shock hazard is present if this electrical circuit is not 

temporarily disabled during installa� on.

AVERTISSEMENT: Avant de commencer l’installa� on, trouver le circuit électrique 

principal qui alimente le système câblé de détec� on de fumée interconnecté 

et l’éteindre ou couper l’alimenta� on de ce circuit. Un risque d’électrocu� on 

est présent si ce circuit électrique n’est pas temporairement coupé pendant 

l’installa� on.  

WARNING: Remember to turn on or reconnect power to the primary electrical circuit 

that powers the interconnected hardwired smoke alarm system. The  re warning system 

may be disabled if electrical power is not restored to the system.

ATTENTION : Ne pas oublier d’établir ou de rétablir le courant du circuit électrique 

principal qui alimente le système câblé de détec� on de fumée interconnecté. Le 

système d’alerte incendie serait inopérant si le courant électrique alimentant le 

système n’était pas rétabli.

Install Wireless Interconnect Base

Select a smoke alarm that will be used to provide power and communicate to the 

wireless interconnect base. Any smoke alarm that is within range of a compa� ble 

wireless receiver can be selected if the smoke alarm is part of an interconnected 

hardwired system.

Remove the exis� ng smoke alarm from the exis� ng  moun� ng bracket. This is 

usually done by twis� ng the alarm counter clockwise or clockwise from where it 

is mounted.

Figure 2. Remove Exis� ng Smoke Alarm from Smoke Alarm Moun� ng Base

Figure 3. Unplug Pigtail of Exis� ng Smoke Alarm

Unplug the exis� ng smoke alarm from the smoke alarm pigtail. Loosen the two screws 

used to hold the exis� ng moun� ng bracket and remove it from the wall or ceiling.

Figure 4. Remove Exis� ng Smoke Alarm Moun� ng Bracket from Wall or Ceiling

Figure 5. Install Wireless Smoke Alarm Interconnect Base between Wall and 

Moun� ng Bracket

Place the interconnect base where the exis� ng moun� ng bracket was located. Make 

sure the wire/wiretaps are inserted through the center opening of the smoke alarm 

moun� ng bracket.

Place the exis� ng smoke alarm moun� ng bracket on top of interconnect base.  Align the 

interconnect base and the smoke alarm moun� ng bracket and replace the two screws 

used to hold the bracket in place. Tighten all screws down.

NOTE: It is suggested that the smoke alarm sensor LEDs be oriented towards the 

bo� om or in a manner that allows the LEDs on the unit to be visible.
