This alarm uses breakthrough technology to offer a fast response to real fires including smoldering and fast-flaming as well as protect you from carbon monoxide and dramatically reduce the chance of nuisance alarms. The Intelligent sensor technology combines the detection capabilities of an ionization smoke sensor – which is more likely to detect smaller less visible fire particles like those produced by flaming fires – with that of an electrochemical sensor which is used to detect CO. When either sensor notices a potential hazard it will communicate with the other. Depending on what is detected the alarm will adjust its smoke sensitivity in order to better discriminate between a real hazard and a false one. This constant communication enhances the alarm’s overall performance in all fires and significantly reduces the potential for a nuisance alarm. The i12010SCO contains a 10-year tamper proof backup battery that eliminates the need for battery replacement and ends worry over unauthorized battery removal. The alarm provides continuous protection from smoke fire and carbon monoxide even during power outages. At the end of alarm life the unit will chirp indicating the alarm is in need of replacement. The end of life chirp can be temporarily silenced allowing for replacement at a more convenient time.
- Color: White
- Worry free kitchen CO/Smoke alarm
- Voice warning system-verbally announces “Fire” or “Warning carbon monoxide to help distinguish between threats
- Smart interconnect-interconnects up to 24 Kidde devices of which 18 can be initiating
- Hush feature-temporarily silences nuisance alarms for approximately 9 minutes and will not allow hush mode unless the unit is in alarm mode
- Peak level memory-announces Carbon monoxide previously detected if alarm has detected co level of 100ppm or higher since it was last reset
- Ionization sensing technology-ideal for detecting fast flaming and other types of fires
