123I, 123/9HI, 123/9HILL, 223I, 223/9I, 223/9ILL, 223/9HI,
Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Fyrnetics alarm.
Please read through our guide in full. It should be retained for future reference.
Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and
photo-electric (optical) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation sensing alarms may
detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photo-
electric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (asso-
ciated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires devel-
op in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde
recommends that both Ionisation and Photoelectric alarms be installed.Heat alarms
are useful in areas with condensation/dust/high humidity, such as kitchens and
lofts. Heat alarms MUST ALWAYS be interconnected to smoke alarms.
Electrical rating 230V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 alarms interconnected).
*Kite mark is applicable to 100 AND 200 series models.
**Kite mark is applicable to 300 series models.
