Wireless Smoke Alarm with SMART HUSH®Control to temporarily silence

nuisance alarms and battery backup.

Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarm, part of

the Kidde Wireless System. It is an important part of your family’s home safety

plan. You can trust this product to provide the highest level of quality and per-

formance. We know you expect nothing less when the lives of your family are at

stake. This alarm, in combination with other Kidde Wireless products, provides

you with an interconnected alarm system without having the inconvenience or

extensive labor of rewiring your home. An interconnected alarm system provides

an earlier warning to smoke or fire by linking alarms so that when one unit

sounds, it will trigger all other units to sound, thereby giving a family more time

to escape. Kidde estimates that nearly 100 million U.S. homes either do not

have interconnected smoke alarms, or have limited coverage. For homes that do

have interconnected systems, this battery powered alarm can provide additional

fire protection in other areas of the home.

Wireless Smoke Alarm User’s Guide

The key features that are included in this wireless smoke alarm are:

• Smart HUSH®feature allows you to quiet your alarm while taking care of a

non-emergency event (see section 4).

• Remote HUSH®feature allows you to temporarily desensitize the initiating

Kidde Wireless alarm from any Kidde Wireless unit (see section 4).

• Remote Push To Test prompts every Kidde Wireless device to perform a self-

diagnosis. Simply press the button on any Kidde Wireless unit to activate (see

section 4).

• Internal timer reminds you to replace your unit after 10 years to ensure the

most reliable protection (see section 6).

• Low Battery HUSH®feature allows you to stop the smoke alarm from produc-

ing a low battery warning for up to twelve hours in order to maintain protec-

tion without having to replace the battery at inconvenient times.

NOTE: To expand the coverage of your home’s current Hardwire with

Interconnect smoke alarm system, replace ONLY ONE of the hardwired alarms

with a Kidde Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarm. Never connect two as doing

so will result in the wireless alarms triggering each other. They will not stop

alarming until one is disconnected from the electrical circuit. If your home has

Hardwired alarms that are NOT interconnected, you can create an interconnected

system by replacing each of the home’s smoke alarms [up to 12] with a Kidde

Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarm.

Wireless, AC Wire-in Single and/or Multiple Station (24 devices maximum, see

Section 3) Ionization Smoke Alarm with 9 Volt Battery Back Up and Smart

HUSHTM Control to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.

This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It

contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see Section

9). 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. Refer to the instructions in Section 13 for service.

WARNING! REMOVAL OF THE SMOKE ALARM BATTERY AND DIS-

CONNECTING OR LOSS OF AC POWER WILL RENDER THE SMOKE

ALARM INOPERATIVE.

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

15mA for originating unit with 24 devices interconnected).

1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

• 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.

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as they act as chimneys for

smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor.

• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances operate (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. Kidde recommends installing a Wireless Smoke Sounder in all

rooms where older adults, individuals with partial hearing loss, and children

sleep.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread hori-

zontally. Mounting the smoke alarm in the center of the ceiling places it clos-

est to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary resi-

dential construction.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barri-

ers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTAL-

LATION below.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10

cm) from the sidewall (see Figure 1).

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

of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm)

below the ceiling (see Figure 1).

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

hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3ft

(0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: “Smoke

alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 foot in 8 feet (.3m in 2.4

m) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72

states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of

the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see Figure 3).

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient.

Install smoke alarms as recommended above, refer to RECOMMENDED LOCA-

TIONS and Figure 1. In older mobile homes that are not well insulated com-

pared 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 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5

cm) below the ceiling (see Figure 1). 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 SINGLE

FLOOR PLAN in Figure 2.

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.

2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID

• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your auto-

mobile.

• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2FIGURE 3

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF,

such as garages and unfinished attics.

• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or a failure to alarm.

• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.

• In insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the

door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower,

forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling paddle or whole

house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is

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

• Near fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment or other devices

known to transmit in the RF band. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance

alarms.

• Near large metal surfaces and bundles of wire.

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

(alarm and guard) have been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP

1. Remove your new Kidde Wireless Interconnect devices from their respective

packages and place them in front of you.

DO NOT PLUG THEM IN OR INSTALL THE BATTERIES.

2. Find the 8-position dipswitch located on

the back of each device. For this model,

the dipswitch is located under the battery

door (see Figure 4).

3. Select one of the units. You will define the

ID of your system by positioning the

switches of the dipswitch in a random pat-

tern. The ID will need to be the same for

each alarm or accessory. This ID will differentiate your alarm system from

similar systems nearby. DO NOT USE THE DEFAULT ID YOUR UNITS ARE

SHIPPED WITH!

FIGURE 4

4. Using a pen or pencil, change the switches in each of the Kidde Wireless

devices to match the pattern you selected in step 3. Ensure that the

sequence is not reversed.

5. Power each unit after setting the ID by installing the batteries. The alarms

only read the ID that has been set when they are first supplied power. Any

changes to the switch after the unit is powered will not be recognized, and

will require the power to be removed for a minimum of 30 seconds before

powering again.

6. Push and hold the test button on each unit for at least 5 seconds, or until

all the devices produce an alarm. If all the units do not produce an alarm,

refer to the trouble-shooting section at the end of the user’s guide.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arm’s

length away from the unit when testing.

7. Install the alarms in accordance with the user’s guide as described in section

1, and repeat step 6. Since wireless communication can be interrupted by

a number of factors, you must test your alarms weekly to ensure proper

communication between alarms.

8. Read the user’s guide and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

If your Wireless smoke alarms enter alarm mode, first check to see if

there is a fire. If a fire does not exist, and the test buttons have not

been activated on any of the units, it is likely that you are receiving

interference from a similar system nearby. In this case, repeat the above

steps and select a different dipswitch pattern, making sure to disconnect

power and remove the batteries before changing the switch positions.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS

• This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. 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 jurisdic-

tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must

be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. 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 that is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.

WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated on power derived from a square

wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These types of

inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid instal-

lations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources pro-

duce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AC QUICK CONNECTOR

CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE

WIRING THE ALARM.

• If you are using the Kidde Wireless AC Powered alarms to replace Hardwired

alarms that are not interconnected (see definitions on Quick Setup Guide),

DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANYTHING. Leave the red wire-insulat-

ing 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.

• Only one Wireless AC Powered alarm may be used when all existing alarms

are Hardwired with Interconnect (see definitions on Quick Setup Guide).

• A maximum of 24 devices may be hardwire interconnected in a multiple sta-

tion arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA inter-

connect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, carbon

monoxide, etc.). With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to intercon-

nect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.

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 User’s

Guide supplied with each Kidde product for lists of interconnect compat-

ible models, brands, and devices.

• When mixing models that have battery backup (1275, 1276, 1285, 1296,

i12040, i12060, i12080, PE120, PI2000, KN-COSM-IB, HD135F, KN-COB-IC,

KN-COP-IC) with models without battery backup ((1235, i12020, KN-COSM-

I, 120X, SM120X, CO120X, SL177i), be advised that the models without bat-

tery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.

• For more information about compatible interconnect units and their func-

tionality in an interconnect system, visit our web site at: www.KiddeUS.com.

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

connected system is 1000 feet.

• Figure 5 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 UL listed household wire (as required by local codes)

available at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.
