• The earth terminal connection provided is for termination purpos-
es only and is NOT electrically connected within the sealed alarm
/ base units.
Danger – electrical shock hazard!
Never restore power supply until all alarms are completely
installed, doing so before hand can cause serious injury.
Do not install in a dripping, water splashing, or very humid area.
Interconnecting
To connect all alarms with wireless bases use only the line and neu-
tral lines, do not connect to the I/O terminal.
To expand an existing interconnected system, connect a wireless base
to one alarms of the hardwired system and then and additional wire-
less base at each new location. DO NOT HARDWIRE INTERCON-
NECT TWO ALARMS WITH WIRELESS BASE TOGETHER.
These are double insulated products and do not need earthing:
never use earth conductor to interconnect – use 3 core and earth
cable. Use black in 3 core & earth cabling, for interconnect line.
If installing using old cabling (different colors), take great care /
follow IEE Reqs.
A maximum of 24 Kidde devices may be interconnected in a
multiple station arrangement the interconnect system should not
exceed 12 Smoke Alarms and/or 18 alarms total (Smoke, Heat, CO
and etc). With 18 alarms interconnected up to 6 alarm accessories
(relay modules, visual signal device and etc.).
For systems utilizing wireless bases the same restrictions apply but
the maximum number of wireless bases is limited to 15.
