This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization
technique. It contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioac-
tive 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 regula-
tory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself.
Refer to the instructions in section 12 for service.
• 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 addi-
tional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor
any stairway as stairways act like
chimneys for smoke and heat.
Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible fires
at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (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 unpredictable. For maximum protection,
Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be
installed.
• Locate at least one alarm on every
floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
FIGURE 1
• 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.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS
•
This smoke alarm should be installed in a U.L. listed or recognized
junction box. The mounting bracket is equipped to accommodate a
3.5 inch hole spacing on a round electrical box and a double-gang
rectangular electrical enclosure. 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. This unit consumes four cubic inches of interior space of
the junction box volume. This figure should be used when calculating
junction box volume.
• 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 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be locat-
ed 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 2).
2. Lo ca t io n s To Avo id
•
In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start
your automobile.
•
•
•
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.
•
•
Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.
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.
In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above
100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics; this should also include
electrical boxes exposed to these environments.
WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from
a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverters.
These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the
structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived power
sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will
damage the alarm.
•
In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or 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 or
whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
Wiring Instructions for Quick Connect Harness
CAUTION! Turn off the main pow er circuit before w iring the
alarm
•
Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen
alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photo-
electric type.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be
powered from a single circuit.
•
•
Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
• A maximum of 18 Kidde devices may be interconnected in a multiple
station arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the
NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms or 18 alarms {12 smoke
and 6 other (heat, carbon monoxide, or similar alarms)}.
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.
• When mixing models which have battery backup (i12040, i12060,
i12080, 1275, 1276, 1285, 1296, PE120, PI2000, KN-COSM-IB, KN-
SMFM-I, RF-SM-ACDC, HD135F, KN-COB-IC, KN-COP-IC) with models
without battery backup, (i1220, 1235, KN-COSM-I, 120X,
SM120X,CO120X, SL177i) be advised that the models without battery
backup will not respond during an AC power failure.

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied
and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber
senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85dB) tem-
poral alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
• For alarms that are used as a 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 does not come into contact with
any metal parts or the electrical box.
The backup battery is activated as soon as AC power is supplied and will
remain active until the alarm reaches the end if its useful life or is manu-
ally deactivated.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
1. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in sec-
To permanently deactivate the battery for return or disposal purposes
prior to it reaching end of life: turn off AC power, remove the alarm
from the mounting bracket, disconnect the AC wires, puncture the label
on the back of the unit, and press the small switch using a pen or other
thin tool. The alarm will rapidly beep 10 times indicating that it has been
deactivated.

from cooking, activates the alarm. The HUSH feature cannot be activat-
ed unless the smoke alarm is sounding in the originating alarm mode.
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 green LED will blink once every 3 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 pres-
ent. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been
cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the Test / Hush but-
ton on the alarm will end the hush period.
Testing: Test by pushing the Test/Hush button on the cover. This will
sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry and horn are working. In an
interconnected installation all interconnected alarms should sound when
the Test/Hush button on any of the interconnected alarm is pressed.
After completing its test cycle the Green LED will be off for approximate-
ly 30 seconds while the unit completes its self test.
If no alarm sounds, check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to
the alarm circuit. Verify that the green LED is on. If the alarm still does
not sound, the alarm may have defective batteries or other failure.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm. You could damage the
alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL FEA-
TURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm,
and it should be returned for service (see section 12).
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY
THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION
EXISTS.
5. Nu isa n ce Ala rm s
LED INDICATORS: This smoke alarm is equipped with red and green
LED indicators. The green LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence
of AC or battery backup power. The red LED operates in unison with
the sounder during alarm and error mode conditions:
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette
smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown
directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off
the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quanti-
ties of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling.
Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-recircu-
lating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the
kitchen.
Standby Condition: The green LED will be lit continuously if AC power
is present or flash every 30 seconds if powered by battery backup only.
Alarm Condition: When the alarm senses products of combustion and
goes into alarm, the red LED will flash with the sounder and the green
LED will flash once per second. The flashing red LED and pulsating alarm
will continue until the air is cleared. WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECT-
ED, only the green LED of the alarm which senses the smoke or is being
tested (the originating unit) will flash. All other units in the interconnect
system will sound an alarm but their green LED’s will remain constat to
indicate AC power or flash once every 30 seconds when on battery
backup.
This model is equipped with a "Hush" feature that is extremely useful in
a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more infor-
mation, refer to section 4 OPERATION AND TESTING.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get
out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to see if one
of the reasons listed in section 2 may have caused the alarm.
Alarm Memory: This smoke alarm is equipped with an alarm memory,
which provides a visual indication of when an alarm has been activated.
The green LED will flash once every 16 seconds to indicate the memory
condition (AC powered and battery backup). The memory will remain
activated until the button is pressed causing the alarm to rapidly beep 3
times and reset the alarm memory function. In an interconnected installa-
tion only the memory of the originating alarm will be activated. If the bat-
tery power is low due to insufficient charge, this feature is over ridden
and the green LED will function to indicate either AC power is present
or Battery backup operation
CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in
the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior of your alarm
(sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose
and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter
of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using the
Test/Hush button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal oper-
ation the alarm should be replaced.
Hush® mode: The green LED will blink every 3 seconds, indicating the
smoke alarm is in the Hush® mode.
6. En d Of Life
7. Lim it a t io n s o f Sm o ke Ala rm s
Approximately ten years after the alarm is first powered up it will enter
error mode as indicated by the unit chirping and the red LED flashing
every 30 seconds. When the alarm reaches the end of its useful life it
will discharge its battery so that it can be safely disposed of properly.
When the AC power is removed the unit will be shut off.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (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 unpredictable. For maximum protection,
Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be
installed.
Alarm Removal
Before removing, disconnect AC power to the alarm. To remove the
alarm from the mounting bracket rotate it counter-clockwise and gently
pull it down to expose the AC quick connect harness. Simply pull the
two halves of the connector apart to disconnect the alarm from AC
power. The alarm will continue to operate on battery backup for at least
1 week when the battery is fully charged and has not been exposed to
high or low ambient conditions for extended periods through out the
life of the product.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if the
AC power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire or an open
fuse.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and
the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
Disabling The Alarm
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chim-
neys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a differ-
ent floor.
If the alarm is to be disposed of prior to it reaching its end of life, the
label on the back of the unit should be pierced in the indicated location
and the switch pressed to render the unit safe for disposal. When doing
so the alarm will produce 10 short beeps then shut off.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
WARNING: ONCE THE LABEL ON THE BACK OF THE ALARM HAS
BEEN PIERCED, THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALARM HAS BEEN COM-
PROMISED AND IT SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED. DO NOT RE-
INSTALL THE ALARM ONCE IT HAS BEEN DISABLED OR REACHED
IT END OF LIFE. THIS ACTION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND
RESOLVE KIDDE OF ANY OBLIGATION.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be
installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early
warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy.
Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect
their lives and property.
7. Lim it a t io n s o f Sm o ke Ala rm s
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based
primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, fol-
lowed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants. Fire warn-
ing systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of
the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with
the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that
they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape
should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protec-
tion-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
8. Go o d Sa fe t y Ha b it s
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
• Install and maintain a fire extinguisher on every level of the home and
in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extin-
guisher prior to an emergency.
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two
(2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a
rope or chain ladder.
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible
fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing every-
one what to do in case of fire.
8. Go o d Sa fe t y Ha b it s
10. NFPA Re q u ire d Pro t e ct io n
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the fol-
lowing information:
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire
occurs.
Smoke Detection – Where required by applicable laws, codes, or stan-
dards for the specified occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station
smoke alarms shall be installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping rooms
Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be required in sleeping rooms in exist-
ing one- and two-family dwelling units. (2) Outside of each separate
sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. (3) On each
level of the dwelling unit, including basements Exception: In existing
one- and two-family dwelling units, approved smoke alarms powered by
batteries are permitted.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train
them to leave your home when they hear it.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at
night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake when it
sounds. They must wake up in order to execute the escape plan.
Practice allows all occupants to test your plan before an emergency.
You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know
what to do.
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleep-
ing individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those
who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
Smoke Detection – Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required
number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning pro-
tection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by
the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the
householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas
for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement,
bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not
protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke
alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally
not recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions
that can result in improper operation.
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to pro-
tect against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA
9. NRC In fo rm a t io n
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioactive
element in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisi-
ble combustion products. The radioactive element is safely contained in
the chamber and requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke
alarm meets or exceeds all government standards. It is manufactured
and distributed under license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATE FIRE MARSHAL)
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows.
A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of,
but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace
rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached
garages.”
