Thank you for choosing 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
optical (photo-electric) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation technology is
faster at detecting fast flaming fires that give off little smoke. Optical (photo-
electric) technology is faster at responding to slow, smouldering smoky fires.
Heat alarms (hard wired only) are installed in environments where excessive
steam, dust etc. make smoke alarms impractical e.g. kitchens/boiler
rooms/lofts.
Electrical rating 9V DC,
80mA max per alarm
with 12 alarms interconnected).
