Architectural and Engineering
Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Model 1276E or approved equal. It shall be
powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz source along with a 9V battery backup. The
unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal sensitivity of
0.99%/ft. The temperature operating range shall be between 40°F and
100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operating range shall be 5% - 95%
relative humidity.

The smoke alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electrical

box, up to a 4” octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the
alarm) shall be made with a plug-in connector. A maximum of 24 Kidde
devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The inter-
connect 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. The alarm shall
provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit from the
wall or ceiling and locks the battery door closed. No additional pieces shall
be required to activate this feature.

The alarm shall include an easy access battery compartment that is

opened and closed by pressing on the battery door. The 9V battery carrier
will ensure proper battery backup protection by not allowing the battery
door to close if the battery is placed in the unit incorrectly or if a battery is
not present. The unit shall also provide an optional tamper resistant switch
that will prevent the battery door from being opened.

The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at

10 feet. The unit shall include the Hush feature that silences the unit for
approximately 7 minutes if a nuisance condition occurs. The alarm will chirp
every 30 - 40 seconds while in hush mode and will automatically reset.

The unit shall incorporate 2 LED’s. A green LED will be constantly “ON”

when AC power is present and will flash until reset (alarm memory) to indi-
cate which alarm was the originating alarm at the last incident. Pressing the
test button will reset the alarm memory condition. A red LED will flash once
every 30-40 seconds to indicate the alarm is operating properly and will flash
once per every 1.5 seconds when the unit is alarming and will remain so
until the air is cleared.

The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72,

and (chapter 11 2002 edition) The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101
(0ne and two family dwellings), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing
and Urban Development (HUD).

Installation of Smoke Alarm

The smoke alarm should be installed to comply with all local codes having jurisdic-
tion 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).
