Description

The Kidde 1276E smoke alarm provides the same features and quality you expect in a Kidde manufactured product plus a front load battery door. The front load battery operation speeds installation and reduces battery replace- ment by eliminating the need to remove the alarm from the ceiling. The alarm incorporates the other contractor friendly features pioneered by Kidde, including alarm memory, battery pull tab, dust cover, AC quick connect and others.

Installer-Friendly Features

•Alarm Memory – Flashing green LED indicates origination alarm after condition occurs. Alarm memory also incorporates an energy management feature that “shuts down” the memory function if AC power is absent. This helps reduce battery drain – especially during the construction phase.

•Tamper Resistant Features – Provides two tamper resistant options: The unit can be locked to the mounting bracket to prevent the alarm from being removed from the ceiling or wall. The battery door can also be locked to prevent battery removal. Neither option requires the use of additional components.

Installer-Friendly Features (cont.)

•Battery Door – Provides easy access, which reduces the installation time and battery replacement time. Unique design ensures owner is aware of battery backup, because the door will not close if there is no battery or if battery is installed incorrectly.

•Smart Interconnect – Interconnects up to 24 Kidde devices including smoke alarms, CO alarms and heat detector. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 initiation alarms. With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of

6 strobe and/or relay devices.

•Battery Pull Tab – Prevents draining battery until permanent AC power is connected thus reducing callbacks for battery replacement.

•Dust Cover – Protects the alarm’s sensor from dust and debris during construction period.

•AC Quick Connect – Wiring pigtail installs quickly with snap-on harness. Uses same Kidde standard quick- connect, allowing for easy upgrade.

1276E specifications

The Kidde 1276E is a state-of-the-art smoke alarm designed to enhance safety in both residential and commercial environments. It is a battery-operated unit known for its reliability, ease of installation, and advanced features that provide comprehensive protection against fire hazards.

One of the main features of the Kidde 1276E is its dual-sensor technology, which combines both ionization and photoelectric sensors. This dual approach allows the alarm to detect fast-burning fires, such as those fueled by flammable liquids, while also being sensitive to slow-burning fires that produce more smoke. This comprehensive detection system results in quicker response times, enhancing the overall safety of your home or workspace.

The 1276E model is equipped with a 10-year lithium battery, ensuring long-lasting power and eliminating the hassle of frequent battery replacements. The sealed-in battery not only enhances convenience but also guarantees that the detector remains operational throughout its life.

Unlike traditional alarms that emit a beeping sound, the voice alerts are designed to distinguish between different types of threats, helping occupants quickly identify whether it is a smoke or carbon monoxide alert. This feature is particularly beneficial in preventing panic and aiding in quick evacuation.

The unit also incorporates a test/reset button, making it easy to verify its functionality at any time. Additionally, its sleek and modern design allows for discreet installation, seamlessly blending into any interior decor without compromising aesthetics.

Kidde is known for its commitment to quality and safety, and the 1276E adheres to rigorous safety standards, making it a trusted choice among consumers.
