Your home is protected with a Kidde Fyrnetics alarm.
Please read through our guide in full. It should be retained for future reference.
Cut out page 6 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse Box.
Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and
photo-electric (optical) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation 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 ionisation alarms. Home fires
develop in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection,
Kidde recommends that both Ionisation and Photoelectric alarms be installed.Heat
alarms are useful in areas with condensation/dust/high humidity, such as kitchens
and lofts. Heat alarms MUST ALWAYS be interconnected to smoke alarms.
Electrical rating 230V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 Devices interconnected).
