Description
The Kidde Smoke Detector, Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup & Interconnect, model i12040A, is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source. In the event of a power failure, the Kidde fire alarm comes equipped with a 9V battery backup. Using ionization sensing technology, the wired smoke alarm detects invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
Red LEDs provide 4 modes of operation: Standby Mode – flashes every 40 seconds to indicate the smoke alarm is operating properly, Alarm Mode – alarm senses products of combustion, Alarm Memory – to indicate the alarm has been activated, & Hush Mode – silences the alarm for approximately 7 minutes. Green LED indicates AC power.
A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement, but cannot exceed the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) limit of 18 initiation devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms. With 18 initiating devices (smoke, heat, CO, etc.), interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay modules.
UL Certified with a 10-year limited warranty. Meets requirements of UL217, NFPA72, The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA 101, FHA, & HUD.
