Overview
Wiring these alarms into a household circuit gives each level and bedroom a hardwired ionization detector with a battery that carries on through outages. A pre-stripped wiring harness with an easy-off cap connects to the house wiring, and the front battery door lets you change the backup while the alarm stays on its bracket.
Hardwired power with a battery fallback lets these alarms stay active through a blackout, and the front door makes backup changes quick. Ionization sensing reacts to flaming fires, so homes worried about slow smoldering fires need photoelectric units alongside. Installation also depends on house wiring at each location.
Who it's for
Homeowners and landlords replacing hardwired alarms across bedrooms and every floor get a matched set in one box. Renters without access to wiring, and anyone who needs carbon monoxide detection, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Battery backup works during power failures
- Front battery door, no unmounting needed
- Test and hush button on the face
- Pre-stripped wiring harness eases install
- Ionization only, no photoelectric sensor
- No carbon monoxide detection
- Requires hardwired power to install
- Smoldering fires need added photoelectric alarms
Performance notes
Ionization sensing reacts to the tiny particles produced by fast flaming fires, so response to smoky, smoldering fires depends on pairing with photoelectric alarms as Kidde advises. The battery takes over only when household power drops, and the alarm memory light shows which unit went off after an event.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Kidde i12060A detect carbon monoxide?
No. It is an ionization smoke alarm only. The listing names no carbon monoxide sensor.
Does the Kidde i12060A work during a power outage?
Yes. A 9V battery is included as backup and takes over when the 120V supply fails.
How do I silence a false alarm on the Kidde i12060A?
Press the test/hush button on the face of the alarm. Hush mode silences it for approximately 7 minutes.
Should the Kidde i12060A be the only type of smoke alarm in a home?
Kidde recommends installing both ionization and photoelectric alarms, since ionization sensing reacts to flaming fires and photoelectric units cover other fire types.
