820-1356 specifications

The Kidde 820-1356 is a smoke alarm that combines advanced safety features with user-friendly technology to provide a reliable solution for fire detection in homes and businesses. Understanding its main features, technologies, and characteristics is crucial for anyone considering an upgrade to their fire safety systems.

One of the standout features of the Kidde 820-1356 is its dual-sensor technology. This smoke alarm utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensing methods, allowing it to detect different types of smoke more effectively. The photoelectric sensor is adept at sensing slow-burning fires, which produce larger smoke particles, such as those from smoldering furniture or electrical fires. The ionization sensor, on the other hand, quickly responds to fast-burning fires that generate smaller particles, like those from paper or flammable liquids. This combination enhances the alarm’s overall responsiveness, providing a faster response time in various fire situations.

In terms of design, the Kidde 820-1356 features a user-friendly interface. It includes a large test/silence button, which allows users to test the alarm’s functionality easily or silence it when necessary. The alarm also has a green power indicator light that lets you know it is functioning correctly, providing peace of mind at a glance.

Another important characteristic of this smoke alarm is its dependable power source. The Kidde 820-1356 operates on a sealed lithium battery that lasts for up to 10 years, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. This feature is particularly advantageous as it minimizes maintenance and ensures the alarm remains functional for an extended period. Additionally, the alarm emits a chirping sound when its battery is low to alert users to replace the unit.

The Kidde 820-1356 is also designed to be easy to install. With a quick-mount bracket and included hardware, users can install it in various locations around a home, including hallways, bedrooms, and living areas. This versatility ensures that critical areas are monitored effectively.

Overall, the Kidde 820-1356 stands out as a feature-rich smoke alarm that leverages advanced sensing technologies for optimal fire detection. Its user-friendly design, long-lasting power source, and ease of installation make it an excellent choice for enhancing fire safety in any environment.
