Refer to respective manuals for specific application

information.

Models i12020ACA and i12040ACA are designed to

detect products of combustion using the ionization

technique. They contain 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241,

a radioactive material. Distributed under U.S. NRC License

No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance with U.S.

NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is

exempt from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to

repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to the instructions

in Warranty section for service.

WARNING: Removal of the smoke alarm battery and disconnecting or loss

of AC power will render the smoke alarm inoperative.

ELECTR CAL RAT NG: 120 V AC, 60 HZ, 80 mA maximum

per alarm (maximum 80 mA for originating unit with 24

devices interconnected).

Installation

Recommended Locations

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the

bedrooms. Try to monitor the exit path, as the

bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. f more

than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in

each sleeping area ( mage 1A).

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as

stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level

( mage 1B).

• Locate an alarm in every Sleeping Room.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical

appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or

humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps

with the door closed. The closed door may prevent an

alarm not located in that room from waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the

ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke

alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it

closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is

preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a

minimum of 10 cm (4") from the side wall ( mage 2A).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside

wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of

10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the

ceiling ( mage 2A).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway

or large room if the hallway or room is more than

9.1 m (30') long.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully

to avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling.

For more details, see obile Homes.

Installation

• nstall smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral

ceilings at or within 0.9 m (3') of the highest point

(measured horizontally). NFPA Standard 72 states:

“Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than

0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be

located on the high side of the room.” NFPA Standard

72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and

located within 0.9 m (3') of the peak of the ceiling

measured horizontally” ( mage 2B).

Locations to Avoid

• Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The

door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or

shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or

cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or

other high air-flow areas.

• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects

will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the

sensor to accurately detect conditions.

• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame

ceilings or gabled roofs. (Less than 10 cm (4") from the

peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.)

• nstall at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent

lights as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.

• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively

dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust particles may cause

nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.

• Extreme temperatures may effect the sensitivity of the

alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is

colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F),

such as garages and unfinished attics.

• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH)

is greater than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or

steam, can cause nuisance alarms.

• Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms in kitchen areas.

Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. f a

kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence

feature or be a photoelectric type.

• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are

present when you start your automobile.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards

unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been

evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Mobile Homes

Modern mobile homes have been designed to be energy

efficient. nstall smoke alarms as recommended in

Recommended Locations and mage 2A.

n older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared

to present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred

from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls

and roof. This may create a thermal barrier that can prevent

the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling.

n such units, install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with

the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4") and a

maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the ceiling ( mage 2A).

f you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile

home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are

either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For

minimum protection, install at least one alarm close to the

bedrooms. For additional protection, see mage 1A.

WARNING: est your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or mobile home

vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least once a week during

use.

Wiring

CAU ION! urn off the main power to the circuit before wiring the alarm.

• This smoke alarm should be installed on a CSA listed or

recognized junction box. All connections should be made

by a qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in

accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S.

National Electrical Code ANS /NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or

any other codes having jurisdiction in your area. The

multiple station interconnect wiring must be run in the

same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring to the

alarms. n addition, the resistance of the interconnect

wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.

• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase

supplied from a non-switchable circuit which is not

protected by a ground fault interrupter.

• The alarm should not be operated on power derived from

a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine

wave inverter. These power sources produce high peak

voltages that will damage the alarm.

Installation

• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT

CONNECT THE RED W RE TO ANYTH NG. Leave the red

wire insulating cap in place to make certain that the red

wire cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.

• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected

units must be powered from a single circuit.

• A maximum of 24 Kidde devices may be interconnected

in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect

system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit

of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat,

carbon monoxide, etc.) With 18 alarms interconnected,

it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6

remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
