Kidde 1SF23/9HI - Manual

1
Your home is protected with a KIDDE Fyrnetics alarm/s
Please read through our guide in full. It should be retained for future reference.
Cut out page 6 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse Box.
Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and opti-
cal (photo-electric) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation technology is faster at
detecting fast flaming fires that give off little smoke. Optical (photo-electric) technology
is faster at responding to slow, smouldering smoky fires. Heat alarms are installed
in environments where excessive steam, dust etc. make smoke alarms impractical
e.g. kitchens/boiler rooms/lofts.
Electrical rating 230V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 alarms interconnected).
