Kidde Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Voice Alarm, Interconnectable with AA Battery Backup, Model 900-CUAR-VCA

Description

The Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Voice Alarm, Interconnectable with AA Battery Backup helps protect you and your family from two hazards – fire and potentially deadly CO – in one device. This smoke & carbon monoxide combo alarm features self-testing components that are always checking to make sure the alarm is on and working.* Additionally, the included mounting bracket makes installation fast and easy. This smoke and CO alarm is capable of being hardwired to other select Kidde alarms,** to provide whole-home alarm activation. This setup allows select Kidde alarms to sound in unison, helping to ensure that everyone in the house is alerted. Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure optimal detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms can detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

Features

• 2-in-1 Detection - Alerts you to both smoke & carbon monoxide (CO) using a single alarm.
• Voice Warning - Clearly alerts “Fire! Feu!” when a smoke or fire hazard is present, “Warning! Carbon monoxide! Attention! Monoxyde de carbone!” when CO is detected, or “Low battery. Pile faible”.
• Self-Testing - Smoke & CO alarm is equipped with components that are always checking to ensure the device is operating as expected.*
• Whole-home Alarm Activation - Expand detection via hardwired connections to other Kidde alarms – when one alarm sounds, they all do.**
• Easy-Install Mounting Bracket - Included in the box for simple, quick installation in 4 orientations.
• AC-hardwired with 2 AA Battery Backup - Powered by home’s electricity in order to provide reliable detection. AA batteries provide smoke & carbon monoxide alarm backup power during short-term power outages.
• Photoelectric Smoke Sensor - Can detect visible fire particles associated with slow smoldering fires sooner than an ionization sensor.
• Electrochemical CO Sensor - Provides accurate carbon monoxide detection during the product’s life, remains stable during temperature and humidity changes and resists reactions to household gases that may cause false readings or reduce sensitivity.
• One-Touch Button - performs the following functions:
• Activates the HushTM feature to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.
• Tests the unit’s electronics and verifies proper operation.
• Silences a low battery chirp for up to 24 hours at a time for a maximum of 7 days.
• Silences the end of life chirps for 24 hours at a time for a maximum of 7 days.
• Resets the device during a CO alarm (unit will re-enter alarm within 6 minutes of reset if 70 ppm or more of CO is present).
