Functions
The Kidde i12060 smoke alarm delivers a tamper-resistant function to deter vandalism or theft and a smart interconnect method that connects with up to 24 Kidde devices--such as other smoke alarms plus carbon monoxide and heat alarms. The battery-backup function (9-volt battery included) offers protection even throughout power outages, when a number of CO incidences occur. The front-loading battery door allows users to modify the battery without having removing the alarm from the mounting bracket, creating battery replacement very easy and hassle-free. It has a substantial mounting base that aids safeguard surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections, and its pre-stripped wiring harness has an simple-off cap and tinned strands to boost conductivity.
By pressing the hush button, you can easily and safely silence nuisance alarms brought on by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked dinners. This feature desensitizes the alarm for around seven minutes. For the duration of this time, the alarm chirps each 30 to 40 seconds. If the smoke is too dense, the hush feature is overridden and the alarm still sounds, and the alarm automatically resets at the end of the seven minutes. This convenient security measure eliminates the temptation to take away the alarm's battery, which creates an unsafe situation.
The Kidde i12060 smoke alarm uses ionization sensing technology, which might possibly detect invisible fire particles (connected with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms might detect visible particles (linked with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to insure maximum detection.

Customer Reviews

Less than a year ago, I replaced all the smoke detectors in my home with the Kidde i12060. They go off for no reason- we dont smoke, and cooking doesnt set them off. They just go bad. I checked the batteries- they are still good. I am so tired of the false alarms that I am going to replace them all with a different brand. I see that these have good ratings from others, but I just wanted to share my bad experiance so that you are forewarned.

I have five of these in my home. About a year ago I replaced them all due to random false alarms (they were about 8 years old). Since then I've had to replace two of the new ones due to false alarms. I'm pulling them all out and replacing with another brand. Quality on these is extremely poor.
