Hardwired Smoke Detector with Backup Battery, 6 Pack, White

The Kidde Smoke Detector, model i12040, is a hardwired smoke alarm with a 9-volt battery backup that uses ionization sensor technology to detect invisible fire particles associated with flaming fires before photoelectric alarms. When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound. The smoke detector is powered by a 120-volt power source with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup to provide coverage during a power failure. A red LED indicator will alert you if the smoke detector is sensing smoke or fire.

Additionally, a test-hush button is included, allowing you to test the battery operations and silence nuisance alarms that may be triggered by cooking or shower steam. The smoke detector will emit a chirping sound when the battery needs to be replaced. For optimal safety, it is recommended to install a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms to protect your family from fire and poisonous gas.

This smoke detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty. It meets 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 can detect invisible fire particles, while an electrochemical sensor is used to detect CO gas.

The smoke alarm operates on a 120V wired power source with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup. An 85-decibel alarm will sound, and a red LED will indicate if smoke or fire is detected. The Test-Hush button allows for easy testing of the smoke detector and can silence false alarms triggered by cooking or shower steam.

The smoke detector also has interconnection capability, allowing you to connect up to 18 Kidde smoke, heat, or CO alarms. There is also the possibility to interconnect 6 strobe lights or relay modules for enhanced safety measures. The alarm is UL listed and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty (excluding battery performance). The warranty begins when the alarm is powered on, and if the date is unknown, it is recommended to replace the alarm as a precaution.
