Kidde KN-COSM-IBA - Manual (Page 14)

• A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected
in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system
should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke
alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, CO, Smoke/ CO
Combination, heat, etc.). This Smoke/CO combination alarm
must be counted as a smoke alarm when determining the
number of units on an interconnect line. With 18 alarms
interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total
of 6 remote signaling devices and /or relay modules (see page
15 for details on interconnecting Kidde devices).
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit
in an interconnected system is 1000 feet.
• Figure 3 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper
connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to
operate, or a shock hazard.
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched)
power line. NOTE: Use standard UL Listed household wire (as
required by local codes) available at all electrical supply stores
and most hardware stores.
