Kidde Wireless Smoke Detector, AA Battery Operated (Included), Ionization Sensor Wire-Free Interconnect Smoke Alarm

Description

The Kidde Wireless Smoke Detector, AA Battery Operated
(Included), Ionization Sensor Wire-Free Interconnect Smoke Alarm, model RF-SM-
DC, is a basic smoke detector that uses ionization sensor technology to detect
invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires). When smoke or
fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound. The Kidde Wireless Smoke
Alarm enables extension of coverage & protection without any need for
additional wiring. When one alarm sounds, they all do, providing an early
warning against fire by dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm
anywhere in your home, regardless of where the fire starts. The Kidde Wireless
Smoke Detector is powered by 2-AA alkaline batteries (included), which provide
easy installation since the alarm requires no wiring, plus coverage during a
power failure. A red LED indicates that the smoke detector is sensing smoke or
fire. A test-hush button allows you to test the battery operations as well as
silence nuisance alarms that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The Kidde
Wireless Smoke Detector will chirp when it’s time to replace the battery. The
Kidde smoke detector can be used as a single unit or interconnected with up to
24 Kidde devices (18 of which can be initiated) in a multiple-station
arrangement, not exceeding the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
limit of 18 initiating devices (smoke, heat, CO). It is possible to
interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay modules. Install a smoke detector &
carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms to help
keep your family safe from fire & poisonous gas. UL Certified with a 10-year
limited manufacturer’s warranty. Meets requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter
11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing
Authority (FHA). What’s in the Box One 0919-9999 smoke alarm with
mounting bracket and mounting hardware, 3- AA batteries, a 10-year limited
warranty and a bilingual user’s manual. The Kidde 0919-9999 Battery-Operated
Wireless Smoke Alarm allows for the easy installation of an interconnected
smoke alarm system without the high cost and hassle of rewiring your home. The
alarms are wirelessly linked so that when one alarm is triggered, all alarms
will sound. This alarm can also be placed in a detached workshop or shed and
linked into the home’s interconnected system. Experts recommend interconnected
alarms, because when one sounds, they all sound, providing an early warning
against fire by dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm anywhere
in your home, regardless of where the fire starts. Newer homes are required by
code to have interconnected alarms. Wireless technology now enables any home
to have an interconnected system. This alarm uses ionization sensing
technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles
(associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with
smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde strongly recommends
that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help
insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within
the home. Choose the Right Wireless Alarms for Your Home Kidde offers two
wireless product options: a Battery Powered Smoke Alarm, and an AC Powered
Smoke Alarm. These products enable you to customize your system based on your
specific needs. Read below to see which Kidde wireless smoke alarms are best
for your home. Why Wireless? When one alarm sounds they all do Ability to
interconnect without wires Install in minutes, anywhere in the home Less cost,
and less hassle than re-wiring An interconnected system provides more warnings
in more places in case of smoke or fire in your home. The Kidde Wireless
System alarms have a hush button to silence nuisance alarms. View larger.
Getting Started with Wireless Interconnect in Three Easy Steps Step 1 –
Determine the type of smoke alarms currently installed in your house. 1.
Battery Powered No wires; runs only on batteries. Most older homes have
battery-powered smoke alarms. These alarms have no protruding wires and are
battery powered. 2. Hardwired Runs on your home’s electricity and may have
battery backup. Only one alarm sounds when test button is pressed. If your
home was built in the last 20 years, you probably have hardwired smoke alarms.
If only the alarm that you test sounds, then you do not have an interconnected
system. 3. Interconnected Runs on your home’s electricity and may have battery
backup. All alarms sound when one test button is pressed. Homes built in the
last 15 years may have an interconnected smoke alarm system. If all alarms
sound when you test, you have an interconnected system. Step 2 – Decide how
many alarms you need in your home. The NFPA recommends at least one smoke
alarm on every level of the home and in every sleeping area. Step 3 – Based on
your home’s current alarm set-up, decide which Kidde Wireless alarms to
purchase. 1. If your home has only battery powered alarms: Purchase enough
Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Smoke Alarms (0919-9999) to replace all of your
current smoke alarms. You will also have the ability to add Kidde Wireless
Battery Powered Alarms in additional rooms for expanded coverage. 2. If your
home has only hardwired smoke alarms: Purchase enough Kidde Wireless AC
Powered Smoke Alarms (1279-9999) to replace all of your current smoke alarms.
You will also have the ability to add Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Alarms in
additional rooms for expanded coverage. 3. If your home has interconnected
smoke alarms: Purchase one Kidde Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarms to replace
one current smoke alarm. Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Alarms can then be
installed in additional rooms. Interconnectable for Improved Safety Fire and
consumer experts recommend interconnected alarms for added protection.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), most Americans
feel they are more at risk of being a victim of a tornado than of a house
fire. Actually the opposite is true. Fires are more common than any other
disaster that strikes a family at home, and can become deadly in minutes. You
have on average less than three minutes from the time you hear a smoke alarm
to escape a fire. The sooner you hear an alarm, the sooner you can get out
safely. Smoke alarms that link together so that when one goes off, they all go
off, are called interconnected alarms. These alarms provide more warnings in
more places, giving your family more time to escape a house fire. Houses built
after 1993 are required by building codes to have interconnected alarms that
are wired into their electrical system. Trademarked Hush Feature for
Convenience By pressing the Hush button, you can easily and safely silence
nuisance alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked
dinners. This alarm’s Smart Hush feature has the capability of temporarily
desensitizing the alarm circuit for up to 8 minutes. This feature is to be
used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates
the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the Test/Hush button on
the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence
immediately. The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds while
in hush. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized
condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 8
minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present.
Smart Hush can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm. Pushing the Test/Hush button on the alarm will
end the hush period. 3-AA Batteries, Indicator LED, and Test Feature Because a
smoke alarm only helps protect you if it’s working, this unit features a red
LED that flashes every 10 seconds to indicate that it is operating correctly.
For additional peace of mind, the alarm also contains a test/reset button that
enables you to periodically test its circuitry and horn. The alarm’s 3-AA
batteries provide continuous protection against smoke and fire hazards, even
during power outages. The unit offers a low battery warning that issues a
brief chirp every 30 to 40 seconds for at least seven days before losing
power, letting you know that it’s time to change the battery. This alarm is UL
listed, so you can be confident of its quality, and it is backed by a 10-year
limited warranty that lasts the life of the alarm. About Kidde: A UTC Fire &
