Overview
Kidde built this kitchen area alarm to pair a photoelectric smoke sensor with an electrochemical CO sensor that share data. It turns on when twisted onto its bracket and runs on a sealed battery for life.
Fewer false alarms while cooking is the reason to use it near a kitchen, since the sensors cross check before sounding. At end of life it chirps and must be replaced as a whole unit.
Who it's for
Homes wanting smoke and CO protection near cooking areas without battery changes. Households that need alarms wired to sound together should look at an interconnected model.
Pros and cons
- Smoke and CO in one unit
- Fewer cooking nuisance alarms
- No battery replacement
- Activates on the bracket
- Whole unit replaced at end of life
- Sensor list differs in specs
- Interconnect not mentioned
Performance notes
The photoelectric sensor responds to visible smoke particles from smoldering fires, and the CO cell reads gas levels. Each sensor adjusts the other's sensitivity, which is what reduces nuisance alarms.
