120VAC Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Unit 1275 or approved equal. It shall be powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz, 80mA source along with a 9V battery backup. The unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal sensitivity of 1.26%ft. The temperature operation range shall be between 40˚F and 100˚F (4˚C and 38˚C) and the humidity operating range shall be 5% - 95% relative humidity.

The smoke alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electrical box, up to a 4” octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the alarm) shall be made with a plug-in connector. A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The inter- connect system must not exceed the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) limit of 18 initiation devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms. With 18 initiating devices (smoke, heat, CO, etc.), interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay modules. The unit shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling.

The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the presence of smoke and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s electronics, battery and horn to ensure proper operation.

The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet. The unit shall also include a low battery warning utilizing a brief alarm chirp every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days.

The unit shall incorporate one red LED to indicate the alarm’s current sta- tus and mode of operation. The red LED will indicate one of two conditions: Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate

that the smoke alarm is operating properly.

Alarm Condition: When the alarm senses products of combustion and goes into alarm, the red LED will flash rapidly (one flash per second). The rapid flashing LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.

The unit shall incorporate one green LED to indicate the alarm’s current status and mode of operation. The green LED will indicate one of two conditions:

Standby Condition: The green LED will be steady on, indication the presence of AC power.

Alarm Condition: The green LED of an alarm that senses smoke will flash to indicate the memory condition. The memory will remain activated until it is reset by pushing the test button.

The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72, (chapter 11 2002 edition), The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA 101 (One and two family dwellings) Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It shall also include a 5-year manufacture’s limited warranty.

Unit Number 1275E

Installation of Smoke Alarm

The smoke alarm should be installed to comply with all local codes having jurisdic- tion in your area, Article 760 of the National Electric Code, and NFPA 72. Make certain all alarms are wired to a single, continuous (non-switched) power line, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. A maximum of 1000 ft. of wire can be used in the interconnect system.

1275E specifications

The Kidde 1275E is a highly regarded smoke alarm that combines advanced technology with user-friendly features to provide reliable fire safety. Designed to detect both flaming and smoldering fires, this device is equipped with a photoelectric sensor that is particularly effective in identifying smoke particles from slow-burning fires, which are responsible for the majority of fire-related injuries and fatalities.

One of the standout features of the Kidde 1275E is its voice alert system. Instead of relying solely on beeping sounds, the alarm is capable of providing clear voice alerts that specify the nature of the threat, guiding users to take appropriate action. This functionality can be especially beneficial in reducing confusion during a fire emergency, ensuring that occupants can react quickly and efficiently.

The Kidde 1275E also comes with a built-in battery backup, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during power outages. This feature is crucial, as many home fires occur at night when occupants are asleep and may not be aware of their surroundings. The battery ensures that the alarm will sound when it is needed most, providing peace of mind to homeowners.

Installation of the Kidde 1275E is user-friendly, allowing for both wall and ceiling mounting. Its sleek design ensures that it can blend seamlessly with any home décor while maintaining its primary function as a life-saving device. Additionally, the device features a test/reset button, enabling users to easily check its functionality and silence false alarms with minimal hassle.

Another important characteristic of the Kidde 1275E is its low battery indicator, which alerts users when the batteries need to be changed. This eliminates the risk of the alarm failing due to low or dead batteries, which is a common issue with traditional smoke detectors.

In summary, the Kidde 1275E smoke alarm is an advanced safety device that leverages cutting-edge technology to enhance fire detection. With its reliable photoelectric sensor, voice alert system, battery backup, and ease of installation, it represents a valuable addition to any home safety strategy. As a trusted name in fire safety, Kidde continues to innovate and provide products that prioritize the safety and well-being of families across the globe.
