WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These type of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid installa- tions, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.

1.When Strobe lights and alarms are interconnected, all the interconnected devices must be powered from the same circuit.
2.A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected in a multiple sta- tion arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA inter- connect limits of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, Carbon Monoxide, etc). With 18 interconnected alarms it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
