Kidde i12060 Alarm

Yes, this unit uses a 9V battery as a backup power source. It ensures the alarm remains functional during a power outage, even though the primary power comes from your home's 120VAC electrical system.

Yes, this model is hardwired-interconnectable. You can link up to 24 Kidde devices together, so if one alarm detects smoke, all connected units will sound the alert simultaneously.

You can press the hush button on the unit to temporarily silence nuisance alarms. This is helpful for minor smoke or steam that doesn't indicate a fire, though you should always ensure the area is safe before silencing.

It is recommended to test your alarm weekly using the one-touch test button. This verifies that the horn, electronics, and battery are all functioning correctly.

This model features a convenient front-load battery door, so you don't need to remove the alarm from the ceiling or wall to swap out the 9V battery. Simply open the door on the front of the unit to access the compartment.

The ionization sensor is particularly sensitive to fast-flaming fires, which are common with paper or grease. It is designed to detect invisible fire particles quickly to give you an early warning.
