yes it does, pannel in the basement,wired up to the 3rd floor threw 1st & 2nd floors, I have a wire tracer & I know how to use it, it's not the pulling wires that I'm trying to avoid it's that I just finished all the drywall & taping & paint, this is an after thought(not mine) I'd of planned it in to the original job, I'm a drywallguy by trade but theres pretty much nothing to do with your house I can't fix, I also have 5 welding tickets for those railing repairs, thanks for your quick replies

@truesprocket The three wires are pulled from floor to floor 14/3, power black and white, red interconnects the smoke alarms. So the link is the red wire. The ground is just a ground to protect appliance. Does that make sense to you? I have to say, I am not an electrician and would not pull wires on my own. I would hire an electrician.

@truesprocket This home is already prewire for these types of smoke alarms. If you are wanting a wired smoke alarm and your house is not prewired I would suggest calling in an electrican to wire your home. When you purchase your smoke alarms I would suggest making sure you buy one with a back up battery in it.

@bigjim10011 Sounds like you've got yourself a problem on two fronts :)

@TammyFlores1 i got it the instructions made it look like you connect the black to white but after watching a few videos it looked like the consensus was white/white black/black. so that's what i did and it works!! wahooooo i should be an electrician ;D. just call big jim for all your electrical needs.
