Interconnection - Hard Wired A combined maximum of 12 Smoke Alarms and/or Heat Alarms may be wired together such that when one Alarm senses fire all other Alarms sound a warning - (see Table 1 for the Smoke Alarms with the hardwired interconnect option). This helps ensure the alarm will be heard throughout the property.
