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.

• 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.  
4. Op e ra t io n a n d Te st in g  
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.

electrical box using the included hardware in  
the appropriate mounting holes (see figure  
DO NOT USE ALARM IF LABEL HAS BEEN PUNCTURED!  
SMART HUSHTM CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of  
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for up to 8 minutes. This fea-  
ture is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke

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 ones 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 Associations 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 Associations 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.”
