WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AC QUICK CONNECTOR
CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE
WIRING THE ALARM.
• If you are using the Kidde Wireless AC Powered alarms to replace Hardwired
alarms that are not interconnected (see definitions on Quick Setup Guide),
DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANYTHING. Leave the red wire-insulat-
ing cap in place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any metal
parts or the electrical box.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered
from a single circuit.
• Only one Wireless AC Powered alarm may be used when all existing alarms
are Hardwired with Interconnect (see definitions on Quick Setup Guide).
• A maximum of 24 devices may be hardwire interconnected in a multiple sta-
tion arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA inter-
connect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, carbon
monoxide, etc.). With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to intercon-
nect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
Kidde alarms and accessories CAN ONLY BE interconnected with other
Kidde alarms and accessories as well as specified brands and models of
interconnect compatible alarms. Connection of Kidde products to a non-
specified manufacturer’s interconnect system, or connection with non-
specified equipment from another manufacturer into an existing Kidde
system could result in nuisance alarming, failure to alarm, or damage to
one or all of the devices in the interconnect system. Refer to User’s
Guide supplied with each Kidde product for lists of interconnect compat-
ible models, brands, and devices.
• When mixing models that have battery backup (1275, 1276, 1285, 1296,
i12040, i12060, i12080, PE120, PI2000, KN-COSM-IB, HD135F, KN-COB-IC,
KN-COP-IC) with models without battery backup ((1235, i12020, KN-COSM-
I, 120X, SM120X, CO120X, SL177i), be advised that the models without bat-
tery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.

tionality in an interconnect system, visit our web site at: www.KiddeUS.com.
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an inter-
connected system is 1000 feet.
