PI2000CA specifications

The Kidde PI2000CA is a state-of-the-art smoke and carbon monoxide detector designed to provide comprehensive safety for your home or business. This versatile device integrates advanced technologies to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide, ensuring peace of mind for occupants.

One of the most notable features of the Kidde PI2000CA is its dual-sensor technology. The smoke detection system utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensors. The photoelectric sensor is highly effective at detecting smoldering fires, which are often characterized by excessive smoke and slow burning.

This combination allows the PI2000CA to offer superior responsiveness, providing reliable alerts in various fire scenarios.

Another defining characteristic of the PI2000CA is its 10-year sealed lithium battery. This feature eliminates the hassle of battery replacements, ensuring that the unit remains functional and reliable throughout its lifespan. The sealed battery also enhances convenience, as users no longer need to worry about battery expiration dates or regular checks.

The Kidde PI2000CA is also equipped with a voice alarm feature. In addition to standard visual alerts, the device announces the type of danger detected: "Fire" or "Warning: Carbon Monoxide." This auditory feature is particularly beneficial during nighttime or in situations where individuals may be disoriented, providing clear instructions that allow for quicker responses.

Furthermore, the smoke and carbon monoxide detector has a test/reset button, allowing users to regularly check the unit’s functionality. The device is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to operate and maintain.

Another significant aspect of the Kidde PI2000CA is its user manual, which guides homeowners in optimal placement of the detector for effective coverage. Proper installation is crucial in maximizing the unit's performance, especially in larger spaces.

In summary, the Kidde PI2000CA combines innovative technology and user-centric features to offer enhanced safety for environments where smoke or carbon monoxide may pose risks. With its dual-sensor technology, long-lasting battery, voice alerts, and ease of maintenance, this device is a robust solution for smoke and CO detection, ensuring that families and individuals can feel safe in their homes.
