WARNING! Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire parti-
cles (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. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpre-
dictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both
Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 120 VAC, 60HZ, 15mA maximum per alarm (maximum
