Provide Advanced Fire Protection with the Kidde Wireless System
Why Wireless? • When one alarm sounds they all do.
• Ability to interconnect without wires.
• Install in minutes, anywhere in the home! Less cost, and
less hassle than re-wiring.
AC Powered Smoke Alarm
Makes it easy to expand the coverage of a current interconnected system.
Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarm
The Kidde Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarm makes it
easy to expand the coverage of a current interconnected
system. Simply replace one interconnected smoke alarm
with the Kidde Wireless AC powered alarm. Kidde Wireless
Battery Powered Smoke Alarms can be installed in
additional rooms that need extra protection. This AC
powered alarm bridges a home’s current interconnected
system to the newly installed alarms, so that when one
alarm is triggered, all alarms will sound.
Battery Powered Smoke Alarm
Enables quick and easy installation of an interconnected smoke alarm system without
messy wiring or labor.
Wireless Battery Powered Smoke Alarm
The Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Smoke Alarm allows
for quick and easy installation an interconnected smoke
alarm system without messy wiring or labor. The battery-
powered units are linked so that when one alarm is
triggered, all alarms will sound. In addition to providing
protection to any room of the home, this battery powered
alarm also can be placed in a detached workshop or shed
and linked into the home’s interconnected system.
Kidde wireless alarms use ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with
flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering
fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
