Your home is protected with a KIDDE Fyrnetics alarm/s
Please read through our guide in full. It should be retained for future reference.
Cut out page 6 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse Box.
Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and opti-
cal (photo-electric) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation technology is faster at
detecting fast flaming fires that give off little smoke. Optical (photo-electric) technology
is faster at responding to slow, smouldering smoky fires. Heat alarms are installed
in environments where excessive steam, dust etc. make smoke alarms impractical
e.g. kitchens/boiler rooms/lofts.
Electrical rating 230V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 alarms interconnected).

- Page 1 Please read through our guide in full. It should be retained for future reference. Cut out page 6 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse Box. Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and opti- cal (photo-electric) smoke alarms be installed.

- Page 2 230V mains – for professional installation. (Minimum required by UK Building Regulations in new homes.) Interconnectable to other Kidde Fyrnetic AC Alarms, so all will sound when one is triggered. Will not function if mains power lost. (BS5839 Pt6: Grade E).
- Page 3 b. Alarm Types • Ionisation (Ion) alarms are the most common type and provide early detection, especially against fast flaming fires. Most suitable for dining and living room areas. Ion alarms contain 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material. UK Home Office and BS5839 Pt6 recommend however, that optical alarms are also used especially in locations where steam or cooking fumes, from a nearby room could cause nuisance alarms.
