The Kidde Hardwired Smoke Detector Alarm with Light and Battery Backup, Battery Included, Interconnectable, model i12080A, is an ionization smoke alarm designed to help protect you and your family from the dangers of smoke and fire. Many states require newly constructed houses and recently renovated homes to have hardwired smoke alarms with a battery backup to help protect residents. Easy to install on the ceiling in your bedroom, the hallway, or in any room in your home, this smoke detector has a large mounting base, quick-connect wiring harness, and front battery pull-tab so you can activate the alarm without removing it from its base. A 9V backup battery is included to help give your family protection even during a power failure. Plus, the smoke detector has an escape light that illuminates during an alarm event to help you see your way to safety.

Ionization sensing alarms, including the Kidde hardwired smoke detector with escape light, may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. We recommend that you install both ionization and photoelectric alarms in your home to provide maximum fire detection. This smoke alarm's Smart Hush™ feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms, while an indicator LED and test feature let you easily confirm that the alarm is working. This wire-in smoke detector can also be interconnected with up to 24 other Kidde devices, including smoke alarms, CO detectors, and heat alarms, so that when one alarm goes off, they all go off to alert you to a potential emergency.

The Kidde hardwired smoke detector with light and battery backup meets the requirements of UL217, NFPA72, (chapter 11), The State of California Fire Marshal, NFPA 101 (One- and two-family dwellings) Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It also includes a 10-year manufacture's limited warranty.

The AC-powered, hardwired Kidde i12080 ionization smoke alarm is designed to protect you and your family from the dangers of smoke and fire. This smoke alarm's trademarked hush feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms, while an indicator LED and test feature let you easily confirm that the alarm is working. This wire-in smoke detector also has a battery-backup feature (with included 9-volt battery) as well as a safety light that helps illuminate your path to safety.

The Kidde i12080 is equipped with an integrated safety light.

FeaturesThe Kidde i12080 smoke alarm includes a safety light feature that provides 15 minutes of light when the alarm is sounding. It offers a tamper-resistant feature to deter vandalism or theft and a smart interconnect system that connects with up to 24 Kidde devices--including other smoke alarms plus carbon monoxide and heat alarms. The battery-backup feature (9-volt battery included) provides protection even during power outages, when many CO incidences occur. It has a large mounting base that helps protect surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections, and its pre-stripped wiring harness has an easy-off cap and tinned strands to increase conductivity.
By pressing the hush button, you can easily and safely silence nuisance alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked dinners. This feature desensitizes the alarm for approximately seven minutes. During this time, the alarm chirps every 30 to 40 seconds. If the smoke is too dense, the hush feature is overridden and the alarm still sounds, and the alarm automatically resets at the end of the seven minutes. This convenient safety measure eliminates the temptation to remove the alarm's battery, which creates an unsafe situation.
The Kidde i12080 smoke alarm uses ionization sensing technology, which generally detects invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to insure maximum detection.
