I4618 specifications

The Kidde I4618 is a compact and efficient smoke alarm designed to enhance home safety. This model stands out for its reliable performance and advanced features, making it a preferred choice for many homeowners. One of the key characteristics of the I4618 is its use of ionization sensing technology, which is effective in detecting fast-flaming fires that can occur in areas such as kitchens and living rooms.

The I4618 is equipped with a 9-volt battery backup, ensuring continuous operation during power outages. This feature provides peace of mind as it guarantees that the alarm will still function even when the main power supply is compromised. Additionally, the unit includes an end-of-life warning, which alerts users when it is time to replace the alarm. This alert is crucial, as smoke alarms have a limited lifespan and should be replaced every ten years to ensure optimal performance.

Another notable feature of the Kidde I4618 is its test/silence button. This allows users to periodically check the functionality of the alarm with a simple press. In case of false alarms, the silence feature can be activated to temporarily mute the alarm, preventing unnecessary disturbance while still maintaining safety.

The design of the I4618 is user-friendly, featuring a compact and sleek profile that can blend seamlessly into any home décor. Installation is straightforward, requiring minimal tools and time. The product comes with mounting hardware and a detailed instruction manual, enabling users to set it up quickly and easily.

Safety is further enhanced with the alarm’s loud 85-decibel alarm, which can be heard throughout the home, even in noisy environments. This high volume level ensures that occupants are alerted promptly in case of smoke detection, allowing for timely evacuation.

In conclusion, the Kidde I4618 smoke alarm is a practical and reliable safety device, equipped with essential features and technologies. Its ionization sensing capability, battery backup, end-of-life warning, and user-friendly design make it an excellent addition to any home, providing peace of mind for families everywhere. Investing in smoke alarms like the I4618 is a crucial step in fire safety preparedness, ensuring that you are always one step ahead in protecting your loved ones and property.
