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
