Interconnect lines (red wires) of
other units in the multiple station setup

• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase supplied

from a non-switchable circuit which is not protected by a ground fault
interrupter.

WARNING:

This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from

a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverters.
These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the
structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived power
sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will
damage the alarm.

Wiring Instructions for Quick Connect Harness

CAUTION! Turn off the main power circuit before wiring
the alarm

• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be

powered from a single circuit.

• A maximum of 24 Kidde devices may be

interconnected in a multiple station
arrangement. The interconnect system should
not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12
smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke,
heat, carbon monoxide, or similar alarms).
With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still
possible to interconnect up to a total of
6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
