Use and Care Manual
with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Industry experts
recommend specific locations for smoke alarms, such as every level and
sleeping area of the dwelling. The alarm can be installed on the surface of
any wall or ceiling following the UL/NFPA/Manufacturer’s recommended
placement guidelines, on any standard single gang electrical box, up to a
4”octagon junction box. See User Guide for more location information and
additional instructions.
The alarm should be installed to comply with all local codes having
jurisdiction in your area, Article 760 of the National Electric Code, and NFPA
72. 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 (18 gauge or larger as required by local codes).
A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple station
arrangement. The interconnect system must not exceed the NFPA (National
Fire Protection Association) limit of 18 initiating 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.
Architectural & Engineering Specifications
The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the
presence of smoke and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence
tests the unit’s electronics to ensure proper operation. The unit shall
incorporate three LED colors. A green LED will be steady on when AC power
is connected, or flash every 60 seconds when in the battery only mode. An
amber LED will indicate fault conditions. A red LED will flash in sync with the
smoke alarm pattern, and will also indicate alarm memory.
The unit shall include the Hush™ feature that silences a smoke alarm
for approximately 8-10 minutes if a nuisance alarm condition occurs. The
red LED on the alarm will flash every 2 seconds while in Hush and will
automatically reset itself.
At the date of manufacture, the unit shall at a minimum meet the
requirements of UL 217, NFPA 72, NFPA 101 (One and two family dwellings),
Federal Housing Authority (FHA), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
NOTE: This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO
alarm signal from an interconnected CO or combination smoke/CO alarm. The carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds. It is
impossible to determine the source of a co alarm using sight or smell. Always consider a
CO alarm event as dangerous.
