Ciri-ciri Utama

• 2-IN-1 DETECTION: Alerts you to both smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) using a single detector.
• HARDWIRED and 10-YEAR BATTERY BACKUP: Operates on 120V AC wiring (installed in the ceiling). No battery changes for 10 years and saves up to $40 over the life of the detector.
• ENHANCED SENSING TECHNOLOGY: Reduces false smoke alarms often caused by cooking. Comprehensively tested to meet the latest UL standards, meets UL 217 9th Edition, UL 2034 4th Edition, and FCC standards.
• INTERCONNECT CAPABILITY: When one alarm sounds, they all sound, so you can get out faster. (Different models offer different interconnection options and requirements. See User Guide for more info.)
• SELF-TESTING ALARM: Internal components ensure alarm is always operating as expected. Not a substitute for a manual push test, perform a button test once per week to verify alarm operation.
• 3 LED NOTIFICATIONS: LED lights indicate alarm status, green - normal operation, amber - operating error, red - smoke or carbon monoxide detected and a loud 85-decibel alarm will sound.
• TEST and HUSH BUTTON: Makes it easy to test the 5-inch combination detector and silence false alarms, should they occur.
• JAMINAN 10 TAHUN: Begins when alarm is powered on. If that date is unknown, it should be assumed that alarms should be replaced. (10-yr limited warranty on alarm, not a battery performance claim.)

Pemasangan

1. Persediaan

Before beginning the installation process, carefully unbox your Kidde detector and its mounting bracket. Review the included user guide for detailed instructions specific to your model. It is recommended to mark the current date on your alarm to keep track of its 10-year lifespan, ensuring timely replacement.

2. Turning Off Main Power

For hardwired installations, always turn off the main power to the circuit you are working on at the circuit breaker before beginning any wiring. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock.

3. Memasang Pendakap Pelekap

All Kidde alarms come with a mounting bracket. Ensure the A-line on the mounting bracket is parallel with the hallway or wall for proper aesthetic alignment. Pull the wire harness through the center hole of the mounting bracket. Secure the mounting bracket to the electrical box using the provided screws. Ensure the screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening, but do not overtighten.

4. Activating Batteries (if applicable)

If your alarm features AA batteries, ensure the battery door is closed and pull the activation tab before installation. You should hear a beep to confirm activation. If no beep is heard, remove and reinstall the batteries. Note that 10-year battery models do not have a pull tab as the internal battery self-activates upon secure mounting.

5. Connecting the Wires (Hardwired Alarms Only)

For hardwired alarms, connect the wires according to the instructions in your user guide. Then, connect the wire harness to the alarm, ensuring the connector snaps securely into place. Push any excess wire back into the electrical box through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.

6. Attaching the Alarm

Twist and click the alarm into place on the mounting bracket by rotating it clockwise until it is securely fastened. For 10-year battery models, the internal battery will self-activate with a confirmation beep once the alarm is securely mounted.

Arahan Operasi

Pemberitahuan LED

The detector features three LED light indicators to communicate its status:

• LED hijau: Indicates normal operation. For hardwired alarms, this will be a steady green light. For battery-operated alarms, it will flash green every 60 seconds.
• LED Amber: Signals an operating error or fault.
• LED Merah: Indicates that smoke or carbon monoxide has been detected, accompanied by a loud 85-decibel alarm.

Test and Hush Button

The large central button on the detector serves two functions:

• Ujian: Press and release the button to test the alarm's functionality. It is recommended to test the alarm weekly. Due to the loud 85-decibel alarm, stand approximately 2.5 feet away or use ear protection during testing.
• Diam: In case of a nuisance alarm (e.g., from cooking), press the button to temporarily silence the alarm.

Keupayaan Saling Sambung

This detector features interconnect capability, meaning that if one alarm sounds, all interconnected alarms will sound. This provides earlier warning throughout your home. Refer to your user guide for specific interconnection options and requirements, as different models may have varying compatibility.

Penyelenggaraan

Ujian Mingguan

Regular testing is crucial to ensure your alarm is functioning correctly. Perform a manual push test once per week by pressing the Test/Hush button. This verifies the alarm's operation and sound output.

Dust Cover for Renovations

To prevent nuisance alarms during construction or renovations, ensure the proprietary dust cover (if included with your model) is securely in place. The alarm will not operate until the dust cover has been removed. Remove the dust cover at least 24 hours after construction is completed to allow the alarm to function properly.

End-of-Life Notification

This Kidde combination alarm is equipped with end-of-life notifications. The alarm will beep to remind you it's time to replace it at the end of its 10-year lifespan. It is essential to replace the unit promptly when this notification occurs to maintain optimal safety.

Menyelesaikan masalah

If your alarm is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:

• Alarm Sounds Without Apparent Hazard: This could be a nuisance alarm. Use the Hush button to silence it. If it persists, check for sources of smoke (e.g., cooking fumes, steam) or ensure the dust cover is removed if recently installed or renovated.
• Amber LED Indicator: An amber light indicates a fault or error. Refer to the detailed troubleshooting section in your full user guide for specific error codes or patterns.
• No Power/No Green LED: For hardwired units, ensure the circuit breaker is on. For battery-operated units, check that batteries are correctly installed and activated.
• End-of-Life Beep: If the alarm is beeping periodically and you've confirmed it's not a low battery or fault, it likely indicates the end of its 10-year lifespan. The unit must be replaced.
