Specification
120V AC/DC Wire-in Smoke Alarm
Safety Light
Part# 21006379      Model i12080A
Description
The Kidde i12080A 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 i12080A includes a quick connect wiring harness 
for easy installation. The safety light illuminates to guide 
you to safety. This smoke alarm is available in a 6-piece 
cut case with tray for easy display. This unit is a UL Listed 
product with a 10-year limited warranty.
