Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector with Safety Light for Hallways

The Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector with Safety Light, model i12080, is designed to enhance your family's safety by utilizing advanced ionization sensor technology. This technology allows it to detect fine particles from flames more quickly than traditional photoelectric alarms, which is crucial for early fire detection. Upon sensing smoke or fire, the alarm emits an 85-decibel sound and activates a safety light to illuminate your escape route, ensuring that you and your loved ones can evacuate quickly and safely.

This smoke detector is powered by a reliable 120-volt power source, complemented by a 9-volt alkaline battery for backup during power outages. A red LED light signals when smoke or fire is detected, providing visual confirmation of its operation. Additionally, the test-hush button allows users to easily test the unit's functionality and silence false alarms, such as those often triggered by cooking or steam from showers. When it's time to replace the battery, the Kidde i12080 emits a chirping sound to alert you.

For comprehensive safety, it is recommended to install a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms. This precaution helps protect against the dual dangers of fire and poisonous CO gas. The safety light feature is particularly beneficial in hallways, guiding you and your family during emergency situations.

This smoke detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty. It meets several important safety standards, including UL 217, NFPA 72 (Chapter 11 of the 2002 edition), NFPA 101 for one and two-family dwellings, and Federal Housing Authority requirements.

The Kidde i12080 model is designed for hardwired, AC-powered functionality, integrating user-friendly features for optimal performance. Among its many features is the smart hush capability, which allows you to temporarily silence nuisance alarms without compromising safety. An indicator LED confirms the unit’s operational status, while a test feature provides peace of mind regarding the alarm's functionality. The battery backup ensures that the smoke detector remains operational during electrical outages, which is when many CO incidents occur.

This smoke alarm, equipped with a safety light, provides up to 15 minutes of illumination when the alarm sounds. The device includes a tamper-resistant design to prevent vandalism and theft, and it supports a smart interconnect system, connecting to up to 24 Kidde devices, including other smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and heat alarms.

The large mounting base not only adds stability but also protects paintwork and covers any surface imperfections during installation. The pre-stripped wiring harness features an easy-off cap and tinned strands for enhanced conductivity. When the hush button is pressed, the alarm desensitizes itself for about seven minutes, making it easier to manage minor false alarms caused by common household activities.

However, if significant smoke is detected, the hush function is overridden, ensuring that safety remains a top priority. After the seven-minute period, the alarm will automatically reset. This thoughtful safety measure prevents the potential hazard of removing the smoke detector's battery, promoting lasting safety in your home.

In summary, the Kidde i12080 smoke alarm provides reliable performance in fire detection, combining critical features that safeguard your home, ensuring you and your family can stay protected. Included in the package are one Kidde i12080 smoke alarm, a 9-volt battery, and detailed operating and installation instructions.
