Product Description
The Kidde i12040A is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V battery backup.
This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
Kidde strongly recommends that both ionizationand photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home. This smoke alarm is available in a 6-piece cut case with tray for easy display as well as a 6-piece bulk pack for contractors and property owners. This unit is a UL Listed product with a 10-year limited warranty
Easy Installation
• Front battery pull tab allows battery activation without removing alarm from mounting bracket.
• Large mounting base makes mounting easier, protects surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections.
• Pre-stripped wiring harness with easy off cap does not require stripper tool. Tinned strands increase conductivity and wire nut grip.
Fewer Callbacks
• One button design for easy operation and less confusion. Operates Hush™ and alarm test
• Battery run down protection will shut down alarm memory when AC power is not present, reducing low battery chirp.
• Dust cover protects sensor from contaminates during construction reducing nuisance alarms
User-Friendly Features
• Tamper resist locking feature deters alarm theft
• Alarm memory flashes red LED indicating which unit was the initiating alarm in interconnected system.
• Interconnectable with up to 24 devices (of which 18 can be initiating) including smoke, CO and heat alarms. See user’s guide for complete instructions.
Installation of Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm must be installed to comply with all local codes having jurisdiction in your area. All wiring shall be in accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the US National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. The multiple station interconnect wiring must be in the same raceway as the AC power wiring. In addition the resistance if the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms. Make certain all alarms are wired to a single, continuous (non switched) power line, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. A maximum of 1000 ft. of wire can be used in the interconnect system. Use standard UL listed household wire as required by code.
