Kidde Smoke Detector, Hardwired with 9V Battery Backup, 6 Pack

The Kidde Smoke Detector, model i12040, is a hardwired smoke alarm with a 9-volt battery backup. Utilizing ionization sensor technology, this device is designed to detect invisible fire particles associated with flaming fires sooner than photoelectric alarms. When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound, and a red LED will indicate that the smoke detector is sensing the presence of smoke or fire.

The Kidde Smoke Detector is powered by a 120-volt power source, with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup to provide coverage during power failures. The test-hush button allows users to test the battery operations and silence nuisance alarms that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The smoke detector will chirp when it's time to replace the battery.

For optimal home safety, it is recommended to install a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector on every level of the home and near bedrooms. This will help keep families safe from fire and poisonous gas. The Kidde Smoke Detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty, meeting the requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing Authority (FHA).

The ionization sensor technology in the Kidde Smoke Detector is designed to sense invisible fire particles, while the electrochemical sensor detects carbon monoxide gas. The smoke alarm operates on a 120V wired power source, with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup, ensuring reliable performance even during power outages.

One of the key features of the Kidde Smoke Detector is its interconnection capability, allowing users to connect up to 18 Kidde smoke, heat, or CO alarms, with the possibility of interconnecting up to 6 strobe lights or relay modules. This interconnection feature enhances the overall home safety by ensuring that all connected alarms will sound simultaneously, alerting occupants of potential fire or gas hazards throughout the entire home.

In summary, the Kidde Smoke Detector, model i12040, offers advanced fire detection technology, reliable power sources, and convenient features to provide homeowners with a robust and reliable smoke alarm system. With its UL certification, compliance with industry standards, and 10-year limited warranty, this smoke detector is a trusted choice for ensuring the safety and peace of mind of families.
