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 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). 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.Getting
Started with Wireless Interconnect in Three Easy StepsStep 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 & Security Brand Renowned

alarm anywhere, regardless of where the fire starts. The Kidde Wireless Smoke
Alarm enables families to quickly install an interconnected smoke alarm system
