The Firex i4618 Hardwire Smoke Alarm by Kidde is an ionization
smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V battery
backup. The Firex i4618 smoke alarm offers many benefits for
installers and wners, such as its easy-access slide load
front battery door.
This alarm is powered by your home’s electricity and will
interconnect with other smoke alarms in your home. Experts
recommend interconnected alarms, because when one sounds, they
all sound, providing an early warning against fire by
dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm anywhere in
your home, regardless of where the fire starts.
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.
Interconnectable for Improved Safety
Fire and consumer experts recommend interconnected alarms for
added protection. According to the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), most Americans feel they are more at risk of
being a victim of a tornado than of a house fire. Actually the
site is true. Fires are more common than any other disaster
that strikes a family at home, and can become deadly in minutes.
You have on average less than three minutes from the time you
hear a smoke alarm to escape a fire. The sooner you hear an
alarm, the sooner you can get out safely. Smoke alarms that link
together so that when one goes off, they all go off, are called
interconnected alarms. These alarms provide more warnings in more
places, giving your family more time to escape a house fire.
Houses built after 1993 are required by building codes to have
interconnected alarms that are wired into their electrical
system.
Interconnects with Other Devices
Interconnects with all Kidde, Firex, Fyrnetics, Lifesaver and
Nighthawk alarms, strobe lights, and relay modules with
interconnect functionality.
Trademarked Hush Feature for Convenience
By pressing the Hush button, you can easily and safely silence
nuisance alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as
overcooked dinners.
This alarm's Smart Hush feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for up to 8 minutes.
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition,
such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke alarm
is desensitized by pushing the Test/Hush button on the smoke
alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will
silence immediately. The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds
every 8 seconds while in hush. This indicates that the alarm is
in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will
automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes and sound the
alarm if particles of combustion are still present. Smart Hush
can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm. Pushing the Test/Hush button on the
alarm will end the hush period.
Reliable 9-Volt Battery Backup, Indicator LED, and Test Feature
Because a smoke alarm only helps protect you if it's working,
this unit features a red LED that flashes every 30 to 40 seconds
to indicate that it is operating correctly. For additional peace
of mind, the alarm also contains a test/reset button that enables
you to periodically test its circuitry and horn.
The alarm’s standard 9-volt battery provides continuous
protection against smoke and fire hazards, even during power
outages. The unit offers a low battery warning that issues a
brief chirp every 30 to 40 seconds for at least seven days before
losing power, letting you know that it's time to change the
battery.
The unit measures just 5.6 inches in diameter and 1.8 inches
deep, and it features a neutral, white finish. It includes tamper
resist features to deter vandalism or theft.
This alarm is UL listed, so you can be confident of its quality,
and it is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
This Firex smoke alarm is the number one contractor installed
smoke alarm. The Firex 4618 Smoke Alarm is an ionization 120V AC
smoke alarm with battery back-up for single or multiple station
use. It includes a False Alarm Control feature which allows the
user to quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 15 minutes. The 4618
has a front loading battery door, 85 decibel horn, test switch
and dual purpose LED indicator; constant green power on LED
confirms AC power is present and the flashing red displays
alarm/battery status. Our unique PowerLink Tab is designed to
allow the smoke alarm to be shipped with the battery already
installed. It keeps the door from closing until installation,
which prevents the battery from draining prematurely. The
installer simply removes the PowerLink Tab, closes the door and
tests the unit. This results in a faster installation time. The
latching LED feature clearly identifies the smoke alarm that
initiated an alarm in an interconnected system with a constantly
illuminated red LED. The LED will remain lit until the test
button is depressed on that unit. This smoke alarm s to any
single or 4 octagon junction box or square-to-round drywall ring
and has 8 long pigtails with a Quick Connect harness for
permanent connection. The 4618 interconnects with up to 11 other
compatible Firex smoke alarms and as many as 6 Firex heat alarms
for a total of not more than 18 interconnected devices. This
Firex unit should be placed in single-family households or in
each individual living unit of multiple-family buildings.
