120VAC Ionization Smoke Alarm

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Model 1276E or approved equal. It shall be powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz source along with a 9V battery backup. The unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal sensitivity of 0.99%/ft. The temperature operating 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 initiating 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 alarm shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling and locks the battery door closed. No additional pieces shall be required to activate this feature.

The alarm shall include an easy access battery compartment that is opened and closed by pressing on the battery door. The 9V battery carrier will ensure proper battery backup protection by not allowing the battery door to close if the battery is placed in the unit incorrectly or if a battery is not present. The unit shall also provide an optional tamper resistant switch that will prevent the battery door from being opened.

The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet. The unit shall include the Hush feature that silences the unit for approximately 7 minutes if a nuisance condition occurs. The alarm will chirp every 30 - 40 seconds while in hush mode and will automatically reset.

The unit shall incorporate 2 LED’s. A green LED will be constantly “ON” when AC power is present and will flash until reset (alarm memory) to indi- cate which alarm was the originating alarm at the last incident. Pressing the test button will reset the alarm memory condition. A red LED will flash once every 30-40 seconds to indicate the alarm is operating properly and will flash once per every 1.5 seconds when the unit is alarming and will remain so until the air is cleared.

The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72, and (chapter 11 2002 edition) The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (0ne and two family dwellings), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Unit Number 1276E

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. Use standard UL listed household wire (18 gauge or larger as required by local codes).

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.

Another impressive feature of the Kidde 1276E is its voice alarm system. 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. The device is also designed to minimize false alarms, thanks to its advanced sensor technology, which reduces nuisance alarms caused by cooking or steam.

In conclusion, the Kidde 1276E smoke alarm is a reliable and essential safety device, offering cutting-edge features such as dual-sensor technology, a long-lasting battery, and distinct voice alerts. With its combination of advanced technologies and user-friendly design, it provides peace of mind to individuals and families by ensuring they are well-protected against the dangers of fire.
