Description
The Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Interconnectable with AA
Battery Backup helps protect you and your family from two hazards – fire
and potentially deadly CO – in one device. This smoke & carbon monoxide
combo alarm features self-testing components that are always checking to
make sure the alarm is on and working.* Additionally, the included mounting
bracket makes installation fast and easy. This smoke and CO alarm is
capable of being hardwired to other select Kidde alarms,** to provide whole-
home alarm activation. This setup allows select Kidde alarms to sound in
unison, helping to ensure that everyone in the house is alerted.
Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric
smoke alarms be installed to help ensure optimal detection of the various
types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization 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 ionization
alarms.
Alarm Warnings
– featuring multi-color LEDs
Fire: The red LED will flash in sync with the alarm pattern (3 long beeps).
The alarm will repeat this pattern until the unit is reset or smoke is eliminated.
Carbon Monoxide: The red LED will flash in sync with the alarm pattern (4
quick beeps). This continues until the smoke & carbon monoxide alarm is
reset or the CO is eliminated.
Low Battery: One chirp and amber LED flash per minute.
Alarm Memory: Alerts a user if smoke or CO has been detected in the last 24
hours. If smoke has been detected, the red LED blinks every 15 sec. If CO has
been detected, the red LED blinks twice every 15 sec.
Features & Benefits
•
2-in-1 Detection - Alerts you to both smoke & carbon monoxide (CO) using
a single alarm.
•
Self-Testing - Smoke & CO alarm is equipped with components that are
always checking to ensure the device is operating as expected.*
•
Whole-home Alarm Activation - Expand detection via hardwired
connections to other Kidde smoke alarms – when one alarm sounds, they
all do.**
•
Easy-Install Mounting Bracket - Included in the box for simple, quick
installation in 4 orientations.
•
AC-hardwired with 2-AA Battery Backup - Powered by home’s electricity
in order to provide reliable detection. AA batteries provide smoke &
carbon monoxide alarm backup power during short-term power outages.
•
Photoelectric Smoke Sensor - May detect visible fire particles associated
with slow smoldering fires sooner than an ionization sensor.
•
Electrochemical CO Sensor - Provides accurate carbon monoxide
detection during the product’s life, remains stable during temperature
and humidity changes and resists reactions to household gases that may
cause false readings or reduce sensitivity.
•
One-Touch Button - performs the following functions:
–
Activates the Hush
TM
feature to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.
–
Tests the unit’s electronics and verifies proper operation.
–
Silences a low battery chirp for up to 24 hours at a time for a
maximum of 7 days.
–
Silences the end of life chirps for 24 hours at a time for a
maximum of 7 days.
–
Resets the device during a CO alarm (Unit will re-enter alarm within
6 minutes of reset if 70 ppm or more of CO is present).
*Self-testing is not a substitute for a manual push test of the alarm. Perform a button test once per week to verify proper alarm operation.
**Alarms only connect with select Kidde alarms that have hardwired AC interconnect capability (see User Guide).
