wiring requirements
• This alarm should be installed on a CSA-Listed or recognized junction box. All connections should be made by a
qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with codes having jurisdiction in your area. 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.
• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase, supplied from a non-switchable circuit.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and detector guard) has been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
• Kidde alarms are not designed, agency tested or certified for recessed mounting and should not be installed in this
manner. Recessed mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber, which may prevent the alarm from
sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are
designed, tested and certified for wall (if applicable) and ceiling surface mount only. Without agency research, we
have no fire test data to support that alarms will perform as required when installed in a recessed manner. Accord-
ingly, we do not recommend, approve or advise mounting Kidde alarms in recessed configurations.

wiring Instructions for AC Quick Connect Harness
CAUTIon: Turn off the main power to the circuit before wiring the AC Quick Connect Harness.
• For alarms that are used as 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 cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.
noTe: Single station alarms (including this Wi-Fi model, if used as a single station alarm) CANNOT send or receive smoke
or CO alarm signals to other hardwire interconnect alarms in your home. If this model is used as a single station alarm, it
will send notifications ONLY to your mobile device (after the wi-Fi alarm is registered with the Kidde app).
• When alarms are hardwire interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered from a single circuit.
