Kidde Detect Smoke Alarm

Yes, this unit is designed for hardwired installation. It connects directly to your home's AC power, but it also includes a sealed 10-year battery backup to ensure it remains functional during power outages.

Because the battery is sealed inside the unit, it cannot be replaced. Once the 10-year lifespan is reached, the entire alarm unit must be replaced to ensure continued safety and performance.

Instead of just a siren, the alarm uses clear voice announcements to identify the danger. This helps occupants understand the situation immediately, which can reduce confusion and speed up your reaction time during an emergency.

This model features enhanced sensing technology specifically engineered to reduce nuisance alarms caused by common cooking smoke. While it is highly sensitive to actual fire hazards, it is designed to ignore minor, non-threatening smoke particles.

No, this specific model does not support interconnectivity. It functions as a standalone unit, meaning it will only sound its own alarm rather than triggering other detectors throughout your home.
