Does anyone know where I can find a good set. Work construction so looking for the Lime Green color and must have Reflective tape on And one where I can work out in the rain and NOT get to soaked.
I would imagine you would have to wire them together? I have NO idea.
You can either buy ones that take a Control wire to link them together (one wire connecting all) or you can buy ones that do it wirelessly. I have the wireless but they are battery and not electric. They have DIP Switches so you can set them to work with each other.
Make sure you stay in old hotel the new hotels alarm it u mess with or loose airflow.
I've Or to actually wire the 120 volt ones: 1) Turn off power. 2) Remove all the smoke detector's (S/D's) from the wiring harness that they use to pick up power. This is done by pinching the sides of the pig-tail and pull. You will notice that there are three wires on this pig-tail: a) black b) white c) yellow the black picks up the power. the white is the neutral the yellow is the communicator 3) This yellow wire needs to be ran between ALL of the S/D's. The only legal way to do this is to run either a 14-3 with ground or 12-3 with ground, depending on what amperage the S/D's are ran on. (14 wire on a 15 amp, 12 wire on a 20 amp) Once you have this wire ran, you will need to remove the existing power feed from the equation. 4) Reattach ALL of the S/D's to the newly ran wire: a) blacks to blacks b) whites to whites c) yellows to reds d) bare wires to bare wires DO NOT ATTACH ANY OF THE BARE WIRES TO THE YELLOW!! Cap off the existing black and white separately using the wire nuts that you bought when you purchased the wire. (Did I forget to mention that? oops) 5) Restore power test. NEVER assume that they will just work Hope this helps. Good luck in all you do and may God bless.
