how is the connection for hard wire? I need a smoke detector that I can plug my hard wire connector to

There is a 3 prong plastic connector that is included in the box. In my situation I didn't have to use it as I was replacing an existing detector using the same connector.

My system had connectors for Firex. I purchased the adapter so I did not have to turn off the power to hard wire the detector. If you do not have an installed connector to plug in an adapter, you will have to shut off power to your detectors and use the wire nuts supplied with the replacement detector.

The house was already wired for the alarm. The old unit stopped working so I had to replace it. All I did was connect the 3-wire plug that extended out from the ceiling into the new alarm. I didn't need to use the 3-wire plug that came with the unit. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I bought this alarm as the equivalent replacement for old alarms in my home. I was able to use both the existing mounting bracket and the hard wire connector. Took me only a matter of minutes to replace all the alarms in the house.

mine came with plug attached. The wires you see in this picture have a plug stuck in to the unit. My old plug fit the new unit, so you just unplug and plug in new unit. If you want a new plug, you remove the wire nut off your old plug wires, attach the new plug bare wires (which you see in picture), twist together with the wire nuts, then plug new plug into unit. Pretty easy.

The hard wire connecter fit exactly the one I replaced (also a Kidde). Took the old unit off, put the new one on, no rewiring needed for me

It looks like it does come with the wiring via the online manual. The correct pinouts are there too. http://www.firstalertstore.com/store/images/pdf/SA521CN-3ST-First_Alert_Onelink_Wireless_Hardwired_Smoke_Alarm.pdf I had the same question and the previous "worked for me" answer didn't really help.

We have not installed this unit yet, but I checked it and there is no way it can be plugged into a wall outlet that I can see. You can get battery-operated detectors, which we have in addition to the hard-wired units, and I suggest you get a couple of those.

I answered this several weeks ago, and I just checked the site and for some reason Amazon didn't post it; their bad! All of my smoke alarms were hard wired as per code. But if the 9v back up battery in one died, all of the alarms went off; I was up all night one night. Anyway, my old ones were not Kidde, but the Kidde replacements fit perfectly.Go to: www.kidde.com and find their Customer Support 800 #. They were very helpful when I called them. Good luck, and I am sorry my first answer was not posted; I have no idea what happened. navydoc

If it's already installed on the ceiling you will need to turn the smoke detector about a 1/4-1/2 of an inch in one direction or the other then it will seperate from the mounting plate. Next you will need to disconnect the hard wiring. Then you will be able to remove the old battery from the back. The top/face of the smoke detector does not remove.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

If you are using this as a replacement for the same/similar model, no issues.I am not sure what your question is regarding the pack size.Do you need one or 2 Smoke Detectors?

Apparently you did not bother to read the comment I posted. The unit I got caught on fire when it was plugged in. As in call the fire department smoke. It was returned. Good luck.

I used this product to test/trigger newly installed smoke detectors. It's one of the best effective product to test and works. I am not sure of your application or what exactly you are talking about.

U will be fine. I had two wires and connected them accordingly. I left the middle screw unattached. Mine is connected to security system box. All works just fine.

The end of the wires are a bare connection. You would use a connector to wire it to a 12V fuse protected circuit.

It doesn't mount like a smoke detector. I guess you can put it onto a shelf or wherever you want. I did not have any luck with it at all. They literally were crawling on it. Good luck

Shirley - with 95% certainty I would say yes on the hard wire plug and no on the mounting plate. However, the new mounting plate will likely easily replace the existing mounting plate? I recently replaced my 4120Bs with 7010Bs and the hardwire was exactly the same. The mounting plate was two screws that I loosened, twisted off the old mounting plate, twisted on the new and tightened. It took less than a few minutes to change the mounting plate and less that 5 minutes to change the entire smoke detector. I used the 7010B and you mention the 7110B but I presume they are approximately the same.

Need to be hard wired but it's very easy. You can install a pigtail and plug it to a regular outlet

Mine's hard wired in, but I would think it could be hooked up to a motion detector.

I use mine for smoking. Just don't get cable were it goes into probe wet. That's how most probes fail.
