Use and Care Manual
Installation of Alarm
This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which
includes enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms from cooking. Industry
experts recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be
installed to help ensure optimal detection of the various types of fires that
can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated
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. They also recommend a CO alarm be installed
on each level of the home—ideally on any level with fuel-burning appliances
and outside of sleeping areas. 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
WARNING: This product is intended for use in indoor residential locations. It is not
designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
This device is designed to help protect individuals from acute eects of
Carbon Monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with
specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations
under 30 ppm.
CO alarm response times:
70 ppm: 60-240min
150 ppm: 10-50min
400 ppm: 4-15min
The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the
presence of smoke and CO and cause the unit to go into both modes of
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, UL 2034, NFPA 72, NFPA 101 (One and two family
dwellings), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), and Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
