Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector Alarm for Homes

The Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector Alarm with Light and Battery Backup, Battery Included, Interconnectable, model i12080A, is an ionization smoke alarm designed to protect you and your family from the dangers of smoke and fire. This smoke alarm's Smart Hush™ feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms, while an indicator LED and test feature let you easily confirm that the alarm is working. Additionally, this wire-in smoke detector can be interconnected with up to 24 other Kidde devices, including smoke alarms, CO detectors, and heat alarms, so that when one alarm goes off, they all go off to alert you to a potential emergency.

The AC-powered, hardwired Kidde i12080 ionization smoke alarm is designed to protect you and your family from the dangers of smoke and fire. It offers a battery-backup feature (with included 9-volt battery) as well as a safety light that helps illuminate your path to safety. The smoke alarm's trademarked hush feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms, and an indicator LED and test feature let you easily confirm that the alarm is working.

The Kidde i12080 smoke alarm includes a safety light feature that provides 15 minutes of light when the alarm is sounding. It offers a tamper-resistant feature to deter vandalism or theft and a smart interconnect system that connects with up to 24 Kidde devices--including other smoke alarms plus carbon monoxide and heat alarms. The battery-backup feature (9-volt battery included) provides protection even during power outages, when many CO incidences occur.

By pressing the hush button, you can easily and safely silence nuisance alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked dinners. This feature desensitizes the alarm for approximately seven minutes, eliminating the temptation to remove the alarm's battery, which creates an unsafe situation.

The Kidde i12080 smoke alarm uses ionization sensing technology, which generally detects 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 recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to ensure maximum detection.

The Kidde i12080 120V AC wire-in smoke alarm comes with a 9-volt battery and operating and installation instructions. Kidde interconnected Ionization smoke alarms provide early warning against fire by linking together the smoke alarms in your home, dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm anywhere, regardless of where the fire starts. This premium smoke alarm has the ability to function as a stand-alone unit or in an interconnected system, and it includes a Hush feature, a test button, and a quick-connect power harness.

Kidde's smoke alarms meet the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent facility that tests products for compliance with widely accepted safety standards. Install UL-listed smoke alarms on every floor of your home, in hallways, inside bedrooms, and outside of sleeping areas. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.
