120V AC Wire-In Smoke Alarm

Slide Load Front Battery Door

Model i4618

Description

The Kidde i4618 is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke

alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V

battery backup.

This alarm uses 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.

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 front-loading battery door allows user to change the

battery without removing the alarm from the mounting

bracket making battery replacement easy and convenient.

This smoke alarm is available in a 6-piece cut case with

tray for easy display as well as a 6-piece bulk pack for

contractors and property owners. This unit is a UL Listed

product with a 5-year limited warranty.

Install Confidence:

Easy Installation

• Front battery pull tab allows battery activation

without removing alarm from mounting bracket.

• Large mounting base makes mounting easier, protects

surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections.

• Pre-stripped wiring harness with easy off cap does

not require stripper tool. Tinned strands increase

conductivity and wire nut grip.

Fewer Callbacks

• Large centrally located Test/Hush® alarm control button.

• Dust cover protects sensor from contaminates during

construction reducing nuisance alarms.

User-Friendly Features

• Easy access front loading battery door.

• Battery backup provides protection in case of

power failure.

• Interconnectable with up to 24 devices (of which 18

can be initiating) including smoke, CO and heat

alarms. See user’s guide for complete instructions.

Architectural and Engineering

Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Model i4618 or approved equal. It

shall be powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz source along with a 9V battery back-

up. The unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal sensitivity

of 0.50 to .92%/ft. The temperature operating range shall be between 40°F

and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operating range shall be up to

85% relative humidity.

The smoke alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electri-

cal 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 initiating devices (Smoke, heat, CO, etc), interconnected, it is still

possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and/or relay modules. The alarm

shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit

from the wall or ceiling. No additional pieces shall be required to activate

this feature.

The alarm shall include an easy access battery compartment that is

opened and closed by sliding the battery door. The 9V battery carrier will

ensure proper battery backup protection by not allowing the battery door

to close if the battery is placed in the unit incorrectly or if a battery is not

present.

The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels

at 10 feet. The unit shall include the Smart HushTM feature that silences the

unit for approximately 8 minutes if a nuisance condition occurs.

The unit shall incorporate red and green LED indicators. The green

LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence of AC power. The red LED

(located under the TEST/Hush button) has four modes of operation:

Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indi-

cate 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 one flash per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will

continue until the air is cleared. When units are interconnected, only the red

LED of the alarm that senses the smoke or is being tested (the originating

unit) will flash. All other units in the interconnected system will sound an

alarm but their red LED’s will NOT flash. Alarm Memory: This smoke alarm

is equipped with an alarm memory, which provides a visual indication when

an alarm has been activated. The red LED will illuminate for about 1.5

seconds every 16 seconds to indicate the memory condition. Smart HushTM

Mode: The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds,

indicating the smoke alarm is in the Smart HushTM Mode.

The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72,

and (chapter 11), The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (0ne and

two family dwellings), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban

Development (HUD).

Installation of Smoke Alarm

The smoke alarm should be installed to comply with all local codes having jurisdiction in your area,

Article 760 of the National Electric Code, and NFPA 72. Make certain all alarms are wired to a single,

continuous (non-switched) power line, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. A maxi-

mum of 1000 ft. of wire can be used in the interconnect system. Use standard UL listed household

wire as required by code.
