Refer to respective manuals for specific application information.

Models i12020ACA and i12040ACA are designed to detect products of

combustion using the ionization technique. They contain 0.9 microcurie

of Americium 241, a radioactive material. Distributed under U.S. NRC

License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance with U.S.

NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt from any

regulatory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself.

WARNING: Removal of the smoke alarm battery and

disconnecting or loss of AC power will render the smoke alarm

inoperative.

ELECTRICAL RATING: 120 V AC, 60 HZ, 80 mA maximum per alarm

(maximum 80 mA for originating unit with 24 devices interconnected).

2. Installation

Recommended Locations

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms.

Try to monitor the exit path, as the bedrooms are usually

farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists,

locate additional alarms in each sleeping area (Image 1A).

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act

like chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level (Image 1B).

• Locate an alarm in every Sleeping Room.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are

operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the

door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located

in that room from waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and

spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in

the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.

Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum

of 10 cm (4”) from the side wall (Image 2A).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with

the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) and a

maximum of 30.5 cm (12”) below the ceiling (Image 2A).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large

room if the hallway or room is more than 9.1 m (30’) long.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid

thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details,

see Mobile Homes.

2. Installation

• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings

following the mounting guidelines outlined in image 2B and 2C.

Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 0.3 m in

2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be located on the high

side of the room (Image 2B and 2C).

2. Installation

Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on the

highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceiling

within 30.5 cm (12”) vertically down from the highest point (Image 2D).

Locations to Avoid

• Do not install within 0.9 m (3’) of the following: The door to a

kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower, forced air

supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house

ventilating fans, or other high air-flow areas.

• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects will block

the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensor to accurately

detect conditions.

• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings. In this area install as

shown in images 2B and 2C.

• Install at least 30.5 cm (12”) away from fluorescent lights as

electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.

• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or

greasy areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarms or failure

to alarm.

• Extreme temperatures may affect the sensitivity of the alarm.

Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than

4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F), such as garages and

unfinished attics.

• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is greater

than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or steam, can cause

nuisance alarms.

• Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms in kitchen areas. Normal

cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it

should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.

• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are present

when you start your automobile.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the

combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found

suitable for that purpose.

Mobile Homes

Modern mobile homes have been designed to be energy efficient. Install

smoke alarms as recommended in Recommended Locations and

Image 2A.

In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present

standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside

to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create

a thermal barrier that can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm

mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarm on an

inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4”)

and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12”) below the ceiling (Image 2A).

If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you

notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the

alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install at least one

alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see Image 1A.

WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or mobile

home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least

once a week during use.

Wiring

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

the alarm.

• This smoke alarm should be installed on a CSA listed or recognized

junction box. All connections should be made by a qualified

electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with articles

210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA

70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in your

area. The multiple station interconnect wiring must be run in the

same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring to the alarms.

In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a

maximum of 10 ohms.

• 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.

• The alarm should not be operated on power derived from a

square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave

inverter. These power sources produce high peak voltages that

will damage the alarm.

2. Installation

• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT CONNECT THE

RED WIRE TO ANYTHING. Leave the red wire insulating cap in

place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any metal

parts or the electrical box.

• 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, etc.) With 18 alarms

interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6

remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.

IMPORTANT: Kidde alarms and accessories CAN ONLY BE

interconnected with other Kidde alarms and accessories as well as

specified brands and models of interconnect compatible alarms.

Connection of Kidde products to a non-specified manufacturer’s

interconnect system, or connection with non-specified equipment

from another manufacturer into an existing Kidde system could

result in nuisance alarming, failure to alarm, or damage to one

or all of the devices in the interconnect system. Refer to the

User’s Guide supplied with each Kidde product for interconnect

compatible models, brands, and devices.

• When mixing models which have battery backup with models

without battery backup, be advised that the models without

battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.

• For more information about compatible interconnect units and

their functionality in an interconnect system, visit our web site at:

www.kiddecanada.com

• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in

an interconnected system is 305 m (1000’).

• Image 3 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will

result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.

• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched)

power line. NOTE: Use standard CSA listed household wire (as

required by local codes) available at all electrical supply stores and

most hardware stores.
