Kidde Heat Detector

Heat detectors are specifically designed for areas where smoke alarms often trigger false alerts, such as kitchens, garages, or attics. By monitoring for rapid temperature spikes rather than smoke particles, this device provides essential protection in environments where cooking fumes or dust would otherwise cause nuisance alarms.

Yes. While it is hardwired into your home's 120VAC electrical system, it includes a 9V battery backup. This ensures the detector remains fully operational and continues to monitor your home even during a power outage.

This unit is interconnectable with up to 24 compatible Kidde safety devices, allowing them to communicate with one another. If one unit detects a hazard, all interconnected alarms will sound, providing a comprehensive alert system throughout your home.

The detector is calibrated to trigger an alarm when the ambient temperature in the room reaches 135°F. This specific threshold is set to identify dangerous heat levels while avoiding activation from normal temperature fluctuations.

The unit features a visual indicator light that confirms it is receiving power and operating as expected. Additionally, it includes a test function that allows you to verify the circuitry, horn, and battery status at any time.

Installation is straightforward thanks to a quick-connect harness that simplifies the wiring process. If you are comfortable with basic electrical work, it is designed for a fast and efficient setup.
