The Kidde 1279-9999 AC Powered 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 ing 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
site 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.
Battery Backup, 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 battery backup provides 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.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
There are only minutes to escape a house fire. The
sooner you hear the smoke alarm, the sooner you can get out
safely. 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. The Kidde
Wireless Smoke Alarm makes it easy to expand the coverage of a
current interconnected system. Simply replace one Interconnected
smoke alarm with the Kidde Wireless AC powered alarm. You can
then install Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Smoke Alarms in any
additional rooms that need extra protection. Install UL listed
smoke alarms on every floor of your home, in hallways, inside
bedrooms and outside of ing areas. Replace smoke alarms
every 10 years. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible
fire particles, associated with fast flaming fires sooner than
Photoelectric alarms. Studies show both types will effectively
detect either type of fire. For optimal protection, install both
smoke alarm technologies in your home.
