Kidde Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup, 6 Pack

The Kidde Smoke Detector, model i12040, utilizes ionization sensor technology to detect invisible fire particles associated with flaming fires, enabling it to sense such particles sooner than photoelectric alarms. This hardwired smoke alarm with a 9-volt battery backup is powered by a 120-volt power source, ensuring coverage during a power failure. When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound, and a red LED will indicate that the smoke detector is sensing smoke or fire.

The Kidde Smoke Detector features a test-hush button, allowing users to test the battery operations and silence nuisance alarms that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The alarm will also chirp when it's time to replace the battery. To help keep your family safe from fire and poisonous gas, it is recommended to install a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms.

The Kidde Smoke Detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty. It meets the requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing Authority (FHA). Additionally, it has the capability to interconnect with up to 18 Kidde smoke, heat, or CO alarms, and can potentially interconnect with 6 strobe lights or relay modules.

The ionization sensor technology in the Kidde Smoke Detector is designed to sense invisible fire particles, while the electrochemical sensor detects CO gas. This combination of features provides comprehensive protection against fire and carbon monoxide hazards. The smoke alarm's 120V wired power source with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup ensures reliable operation, even during a power outage.

In summary, the Kidde Smoke Detector, model i12040, is a reliable and versatile smoke alarm that utilizes advanced sensor technology to detect fire and carbon monoxide, providing comprehensive protection for your home and family. Its user-friendly features, such as the test-hush button and battery backup, make it a practical choice for homeowners.
