Description
The Kidde i12040CA is a 120 V AC, wire-in smoke alarm with
9 V battery backup that can function as a stand alone unit or
interconnect with up to 24 Kidde devices (of which 18 can
be initiating). The Kidde i12040CA provides continuous
protection against smoke and fire hazards, even during
power outages.
This smoke alarm uses ionization sensing technology.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles
(associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric
alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire
particles (associated with slow smouldering fires) sooner than
ionization alarms. Leading authorities recommend that both
ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to
help ensure maximum detection of the various types of fires
that can occur within the home.
For use in bedrooms and suites without gas appliances
