Discover a superior level of fire safety with the Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector, model 20SA10. This advanced smoke detector not only features a robust 10-year battery backup but also incorporates interconnectivity and LED warning light indicators. With its state-of-the-art sensing technology, it effectively minimizes false alarms, particularly those triggered by cooking activities, while providing swift alerts that afford your family crucial time to evacuate safely.

Designed for seamless interconnectivity, the device ensures that if one alarm is activated, all alarms throughout your home will sound, enhancing your security during emergencies (for compatibility with other Kidde models, please refer to the user guide). Its sleek, modern 5-inch design is suitable for various spaces within your home, including living rooms, hallways, kitchens, and bedrooms.

Thoroughly tested and engineered to adhere to the most current UL standards for safety and dependability, this smoke detector operates on 120V AC electrical wiring. It boasts a built-in lithium battery that lasts for a decade, eliminating the need for battery replacements throughout the lifetime of the alarm (note that this is not a claim regarding battery performance). Additionally, the detector features self-testing capabilities and comes with an easy-to-install twist-and-click mounting bracket.

The Kidde smoke detector meets the requirements of the 9th Edition UL 217, FCC, and CSFM standards, ensuring high-quality performance. Upon detecting smoke, it emits a loud 85-decibel alarm, producing three long beeps while a red LED light flashes in sync, providing a clear and alarming signal of danger.

This hardwired model, powered by 120V AC wiring, functions efficiently without necessitating battery changes for an impressive ten years, potentially saving homeowners up to $40 over the device’s lifespan. The enhanced sensing technology is meticulously tested to fulfill recent UL standards, effectively reducing the occurrence of false alarms frequently associated with cooking.

Equipped with self-testing features, the internal mechanisms of the alarm consistently verify that it operates according to expectations. It is advisable to conduct a manual push test weekly to confirm the functionality of the alarm.

The interconnectivity feature means that when one unit sounds an alarm, it triggers all connected alarms to help facilitate a quicker escape route during emergencies. Keep in mind that different models may offer varying interconnection options; please consult the User Guide for detailed information.

Three LED indicators provide a clear status of the alarm: a green light signals normal operation, an amber light indicates an operating error, and a red light signifies smoke detection. The smoke detector is equipped with a test and hush button, making it simple to both check the unit's functionality and silence any false alarms that may happen.

Finally, this device comes with a 10-year warranty starting from the moment the alarm is powered on. In cases where the activation date is uncertain, it is advisable to replace the alarms accordingly (the 10-year warranty pertains to the alarm itself and does not extend to battery performance). For your peace of mind, the Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector is the ideal choice in fire safety for your home.
