Product Description
-------------------
The Kidde P12040 is a 120VAC powered photoelectric smoke alarm
with 9V battery back up. This advanced smoke alarm has the
ability to function as a stand-alone unit or in an interconnected
system. The Kidde P12040 includes a test button, quick-connect
power harness and offers a 10-year limited warranty. This alarm
uses photoelectric sensing technology. Photoelectric sensing
alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering
fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Ionization sensing alarms
may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming
fires) sooner that photoelectric alarms. Kidde strongly
recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be
installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types
of fire that can occur within the home. The Kidde model P12040 is
a 120VAC powered alarm that includes a 9V battery backup to
provide continuous protection during a power failure and included
a quick connect power harness to make installation simple. Part
Number (Ordering Number): 21006371 Architectural and Engineering
Specifications - The smoke alarm shall be Kidde model P12040 or
approved equal. It shall be powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz, 80mA
source along with a 9V battery back up. The unit shall
incorporate a photoelectric sensor with nominal sensitivity of
1.20%/ft to 3.36%/ft. The temperature operation range shall be
between 40˚F and 100˚F (4˚C and 38˚C) and the humidity operation
range shall be 5% - 95% relative humidity. The smoke alarm can be
installed on any standard single gang electrical box, up to a 4”
octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the alarm)
shall be made with a plug-in connector. A maximum of 24 Kidde
devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement.
The interconnect system must not exceed the NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) limit of 18 initiating devices, of which
12 can be smoke alarms. With 18 initiation devices (smoke, heat,
CO, etc.), interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect 6
strobe lights and or relay modules. The unit shall provide
optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit from
the wall or ceiling. The alarm shall include a test button that
will electronically simulate the presence of smoke and cause the
unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s
electronics, battery and horn to ensure proper operation. The
unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85dB at
10 feet. The unit shall also include a low battery warning
utilizing a brief alarm chirp every 30-40 seconds for a minimum
of seven (7) days. The unit shall incorporate one red LED to
indicate the alarm’s current status and mode of operation. The
red LED will indicate one of two conditions: Standby Condition:
The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the
smoke alarm is operating properly. Alarm Condition: When the
alarm senses products of combustion and goes into alarm, the red
LED will flash rapidly (one flash per second). The rapid flashing
LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.
The unit shall incorporate one green LED to indicate the presence
of AC power. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of
UL217, NFPA72, The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA 101
(One and two family dwellings) Federal Housing Authority (FHA),
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It shall also include a
10-year manufacture’s limited warranty.

Sensor Technology
-----------------
The Kidde P12040 uses a photoelectric sensing technology that
detects visible particles associated with smoldering fires sooner
than ionization alarms. Ionization alarms detect invisible fire
particles associated with flaming fires sooner than photoelectric
alarms. Kidde recommends that both types of alarms be installed
inside the home to protect against both types of fires.
Installation
------------
The smoke alarm can be installed on any standard single gang
electrical box, up to a 4” octagon junction box. The electrical
connection (to the alarm) shall be made with a plug-in connector.
A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple
station arrangement. The interconnect system must not exceed the
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) limit of 18
initiating devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms. With 18
initiation devices (smoke, heat, CO, etc.), interconnected, it is
still possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay
modules. The unit shall provide optional tamper resistance that
deters removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling.
Alarm Conditions
----------------
The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically
simulate the presence of smoke and cause the unit to go into
alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s electronics, battery and
horn to ensure proper operation. There is one red LED to indicate
the alarm's current status and mode of operation. During the
standby condition, the red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to
indicate the smoke alarm is operating properly. During the alarm
condition, the red LED will flash rapidly (one flash per second).
The rapid flashing and pulsating alarm will continue until the
air is cleared from the products of combustion. The unit will
also have one green LED to indicate the presence of power.
