Recommended Locations
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the
bedrooms. Try to protect the exit path, as the
bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more
than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in
each sleeping area (Image 1A).
• Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level
(Image 1B).
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical
appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or
humidifiers).
SINGLE FLOOR PLAN
IMAGE 1A
MULTIPLE FLOOR PLAN
IMAGE 1B
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps
with the door closed. The closed door may prevent the
alarm from waking the sleeper.
• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral
ceilings at or within 0.9 m (3') of the highest point
(measured horizontally). NFPA Standard 72 states:
“Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than
0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be
located on the high side of the room.” NFPA Standard
72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and
located within 0.9 m (3') of the peak of the ceiling
measured horizontally” (Image 2B).
• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the
ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke
alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it
closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is
preferred in ordinary residential construction.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a
minimum of 10 cm (4") from the side wall (Image 2A).
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside
wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of
10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the
ceiling (Image 2A).
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway
or large room if the hallway or room is more than
9.1 m (30') long.
• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully
to avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling.

Mobile Homes
• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT
CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANYTHING. Leave the red
wire insulating cap in place to make certain that the red
wire cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.
Mobile homes built in the past five to seven years have
been designed to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms
as recommended in Recommended Locations and Image 2A.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected
units must be powered from a single circuit.
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to
present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred
from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated
walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier that can
prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on
the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarm on an
inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum
of 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the
ceiling (Image 2A).
• A maximum of 24 Kidde devices may be interconnected
in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect
system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit
of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat,
carbon monoxide, etc.) With 18 alarms interconnected,
it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6
remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile
home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are
either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For
minimum protection, install at least one alarm close to the
bedrooms. For additional protection, see Image 1A.
IMPORTANT: Kidde alarms and accessories CAN ONLY BE
interconnected with other Kidde alarms and accessories as well
as specified brands and models of interconnect compatible
alarms. Connection of Kidde products to a non-specified
manufacturer’s interconnect system, or connection with non-
specified equipment from another manufacturer into an existing
Kidde system could result in nuisance alarming, failure to alarm,
or damage to one or all of the devices in the interconnect system.
Refer to the User’s Guide supplied with each Kidde product for
interconnect compatible models, brands, and devices.
WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or mobile
home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least
once a week during use.
• When mixing models which have battery backup with
models without battery backup, be advised that the
models without battery backup will not respond during
an AC power failure.
Wiring
CAUTION: Turn off the main power to the circuit before wiring
the alarm.
• For more information about compatible interconnect
units and their functionality in an interconnect system,
• This smoke alarm should be installed on a CSA listed or
recognized junction box. All connections should be
made by a qualified electrician and must conform to
article 760 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, NFPA 72
and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in your area.
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and
last unit in an interconnected system is 305 m (1000').
• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single
Phase supplied from a non-switchable circuit which is
not protected by a ground fault interrupter.
• Image 3 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper
connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to
operate, or a shock hazard.
• The alarm should not be operated on power derived
from a square wave or modified square wave inverter.
These power sources produce high peak voltages that
will damage the alarm.
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-
switched) power line. NOTE: Use standard CSA listed
household wire (18 gauge or larger as required by local
codes) available at all electrical supply stores and most
hardware stores.

should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.
• For all models: C o n f i rm unit operation by pressing the
Test button again.
The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied, a
f resh battery is installed (only for battery backup models
1275CA and PE120CA) and testing is complete. When the
smoke alarm ionization sensor chamber senses products of
combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) alarm until
the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

LED Indicators
Hush Control Feature
This alarm is equipped with red and green LED indicators:
Model 1275CA only:
Red LED - Flashing eve ry 30-40 seconds: Indicates that the
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is
located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of
combustible particles are generated from spills or when
broiling. Using the fan on a range hood that vents to the
outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove
smoke alarm is operating properly.
Red LED - Flashing Rapidly: When the smoke alarm senses
particles of combustion and goes into alarm (constant
pulsating sound), the red LED will flash rapidly (one flash
per second). The rapid flashing LED and pulsating alarm
will continue until the air is cleared. When interconnected,
only the red LED’s of the alarms that are sensing smoke or
are being tested will flash rapidly (originating alarms). All
other units in the interconnect system will sound an alarm,
but their red LED’s will NOT flash rapidly.
®
these combustible particles from the kitchen. The Hush
button is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas
prone to nuisance alarms.
®
Green LED - Constantly On: Indicates that the unit is
receiving 120 V AC power.
The Hush feature has the capability of temporarily
desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for about 7 minutes.
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the
alarm.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is
discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire
is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in
Locations to Avoid may have caused the alarm.
®
The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the Hush
button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too
dense, the alarm will silence immediately and“chirp”every
30-40 seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indicates
that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition.
The smoke alarm will automatically reset after
approximately 7 minutes. If after this period particles of
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.
®
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush control feature
and sound a continuous alarm.
®
CAUTION: Before using the alarm Hush feature, identify the
source of the smoke and be certain a safe condition exists.

Testing
Battery Replacement
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!
Models 1275CA and PE120CA
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
always stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.
These alarms have a low/missing battery monitor circuit
which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every
30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the
battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition
occurs.
Test by pushing the Test button on the cover and hold it
down for a minimum of 2 seconds. This will sound the
alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are
working. If no alarm sounds, check the fuse or circuit
breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit. If the alarm
still does not sound, the unit has a defective battery or
some other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test
your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite
combustible materials and start a fire.
Models 1275CA and PE120CA use a 9 V carbon zinc
battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used).
A fresh battery should last for one year under normal
operating conditions.
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for replacement:
Carbon-Zinc Type Eveready 216 or 1222
Gold Peak 1604P or 1604S
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a
defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see
Warranty section).
Alkaline Type
Energizer 522
Duracell MN1604 or MX1604
Gold Peak 1604A
Alarms failing an alarm test, or not operating normally,
must be replaced with a new alarm. Similarly, alarms more
than 10 years old must be replaced.
Lithium Type
Ultralife U9VL-J
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified above. Use of
different batteries than the recommended ones, may have a
detrimental effect on the smoke alarm. A good safety measure is
to replace the battery at least once a year, or at the same time
you change your clocks for daylight saving time. Be sure to
follow the battery installation instructions printed on the back of
the alarm.
Alarm Removal
If the smoke alarm tamper resist feature has been
activated, refer to the Alarm Tamper Resist Feature section
for removal instructions.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!

alarm in the direction of the "OFF" arrow on the cover. To
disconnect the AC Quick-Connect wire harness, squeeze
the locking arms on the sides of the Quick Connector
while pulling the connector away from the bottom of the
alarm (see Image 5).
NOTE: For model 1275CA, if after battery replacement
the unit continues to chirp, wait for approximately 7
®
minutes. The Hush feature may have been activated
accidentally while changing the battery and will reset
automatically.

Fire Safety
Fire Safety
WARNING: Please read carefully and thoroughly.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• NFPA Standard 72 states: Life safety from fire in
residential occupancies is based primarily on early
notification to occupants of the need to escape,
followed by the appropriate egress actions by those
occupants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in
potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with
the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally
impaired such that they cannot escape even when
warned early enough that escape should be possible.
For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-
place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each
sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by
providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners,
landlords and tenants should have adequate insurance
to protect their lives and property.
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early
warning of possible fires at a reasonable cost; however,
alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization type alarms
offer a broad range of fire sensing capabilities but are
better at detecting fast flaming fires than slow
smoldering fires. Photoelectric alarms sense smoldering
fires better than flaming fires. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable. Neither
type of alarm (photoelectric or ionization) is always
best, and a given alarm may not always provide
warning of a fire.
Good Safety Habits
Develop and practice a plan of escape!
• Install and maintain Fire extinguishers on every level of
the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage.
Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an
emergency.
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and
at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second
story windows may need an escape ladder.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the
specified type, in good condition and installed properly.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not
operate if the AC power has been cut off, such as by an
electrical fire or an open fuse.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all
can meet if a fire occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm
and train them to leave your home when they hear it.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the
batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating
condition.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including
fire drills at night. Ensure that small children hear the
alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in
order to execute the escape plan. Practice allows all
occupants to test your plan before an emergency. You
may not be able to reach your children. It is important
they know what to do.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does
not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not
sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the
other side of a closed door or on a different floor.

Alarm Exit Procedure
Additional Recommendations
• Alert small children in the home.
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72
provides the following information:
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking
up valuables.
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also
shall be installed in each sleeping room.
• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first
feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your
alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place
your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to
slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
Required number of smoke alarms (as shown in Image 1A
and Image 1B): The required number of smoke alarms
might not provide reliable early warning protection for
those areas separated by a door from the areas protected
by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased
protection.
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. If possible do
not breathe too deeply to avoid smoke inhalation.
Breathe through a cloth (preferably wet) if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and
make sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home -
not from yours!
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms,
dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not
protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation
of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or
unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as
these locations occasionally experience conditions that can
result in improper operation.
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that
it is all right to do so.
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be
effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA
Standard 72. For instance:
- smoking in bed;
- leaving children unsupervised;
- cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
Alarms should be installed in accordance with the National
Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
Notify your local fire department and insurance company
of your smoke alarm installation.
NRC Information
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of
a radioactive element in the sensing chamber to enable
detection of visible and invisible combustion products.
The radioactive element is safely contained in the chamber
and requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke
alarm meets or exceeds all government standards. It is
manufactured and distributed under license from the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
