Kidde Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup and Hush Feature

The Kidde Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup and Hush Feature, model i12040A, is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V battery backup (battery included). This smoke alarm uses ionization sensing technology, which may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home. Designed to be mounted easily, the smoke detector has a large mounting base, pre-stripped wiring harness with easy off cap, and a front battery pull tab so you can activate the backup battery without removing the alarm from the mounting bracket. Red and green LED lights on the smoke detector indicate the alarm's status, with green indicating the unit has AC power. The red LED indicates the alarm condition, including standby, alarm, memory, or Hush™ Mode. This unit is a UL Listed product with a 10-year limited warranty.
