The Kidde i12010SCO is a hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that contains a 10-year， sealed battery backup. This alarm uses breakthrough technology to offer a fast response to real fires， including smoldering and fast-flaming， as well as protect you from carbon monoxide and dramatically reduce the chance of nuisance alarms. The Intelligent sensor technology combines the detection capabilities of an ionization smoke sensor – which is more likely to detect smaller， less visible fire particles， like those produced by flaming fires – with that of an electrochemical sensor， which is used to detect CO. Since carbon monoxide is present in all fires， having both detection chambers work together in one alarm is a breakthrough in the fire safety industry. When either sensor notices a potential hazard， it will communicate with the other. Depending on what is detected， the alarm will adjust its smoke sensitivity in order to better discriminate between a real hazard and a false one. This constant communication enhances the alarm’s overall performance in all fires， and significantly reduces the potential for a nuisance alarm. At the end of alarm life， the unit will chirp， indicating the alarm is in need of replacement. The customer can use a simple tool such as a screwdriver to deactivate the unit， stopping the chirp and making it safe for disposal. The end of life signal can be temporarily silenced to allow for replacement at a more convenient time.

Product Features:

• Easy Installation
• Voice Warning System-Verbally announces “FIRE!” or “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE” to help distinguish between threats.
