Worry-Free 120V AC Wire-in Smoke Alarm
Sealed Lithium Battery Backup
Model i12010S
Description
The Kidde i12010S is an AC/DC powered, ionization
smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with
sealed-in lithium 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.
Leading authorities recommend that both ionization
and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help
insure maximum detection of the various types of
fires that can occur within the home.
The i12010S contains a 10-year tamper proof battery
that eliminates the need for battery replacement, and
ends worry over unauthorized battery removal. The alarm
provides continuous protection from smoke and fire, even
during power outages. At the end of alarm life, the unit
will chirp, indicating the alarm is in need of replacement.
The customer can use a simple tool such as a screwdriver
to deactivate the unit, stopping the chirp and making it
safe for disposal. The end of life signal can be temporarily
silenced to allow for replacement at a more convenient
time.
