Description

The Kidde 0976 Smoke Alarm is an ionization, battery operated unit that provides users with an easy to oper- ate front load battery door, making replacing the battery simple and convenient. The front load battery door allows users to change batteries without having to remove the smoke alarm from the mounting bracket. It’s unique bat- tery compartment design will not close if the battery is installed incorrectly, leaving you assured the batteries are properly installed. A locking feature, located on the back of the alarm allows the battery door to lock if there is a concern of theft or tampering. Along with its other premi- um features such as Hush®, that silences nuisance alarms, this product was designed to help warn families from the dangers of smoke and fire hazards while providing its users with easy to use features to keep a maintained smoke alarm with working battery.

This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home.

976 specifications

The Kidde 976 is a leading fire safety device known for its reliability and advanced features. Designed primarily as a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, it ensures a comprehensive approach to home safety, making it an essential addition to any living space.

One of the standout features of the Kidde 976 is its dual-sensor technology. This device utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensors to detect smoke effectively. The photoelectric sensor is highly effective in detecting smoldering fires, which are often characterized by low, slow-burning flames that produce a significant amount of smoke. On the other hand, the ionization sensor is quick to respond to fast-burning fires. This dual capability ensures that the Kidde 976 can alert users to a range of potential fire hazards, significantly increasing safety.

Moreover, the Kidde 976 is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, which is crucial for identifying the presence of this colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. The CO sensor meets rigorous safety standards, providing timely alerts if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. This combination of smoke and CO detection makes the Kidde 976 a comprehensive safety device.

Another important characteristic of the Kidde 976 is its user-friendly design. The unit features a simple test and reset button, allowing users to easily verify that the alarm is functioning correctly. Additionally, the device has an easy-to-read LED indicator that provides visual alerts for smoke, CO detection, and low battery status.

The Kidde 976 also includes a 10-year lithium battery, which eliminates the hassle of frequent battery replacements. This long-life battery ensures that the alarm remains operational for an extended period, providing peace of mind to homeowners.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only standard tools for wall or ceiling mounting. The Kidde 976 is designed to work effectively in various locations throughout the home, including bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms.

In summary, the Kidde 976 stands out as a top-notch fire safety device equipped with dual-sensor technology, comprehensive smoke and carbon monoxide detection, user-friendly features, and long-lasting power.
