Kidde I4618 User Manual

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.
