This website may contain some historical support documents, such as product user guides that may reference the Invensys Controls name or mailing address for product support. If you own any of these products, they should be replaced with a current Kidde model. Replacing alarms will require first changing the mounting bracket, and then either changing the wiring harness, or for certain of these Firex models, you can use the KA-F2 Adapter in order to avoid having to rewire to the new wiring harness. When you change one of these older alarms, you will need to replace ALL devices attached to the interconnect line for compatibility. Follow the below overview along with your new user guide (included). Before removing an installed alarm from its mounting bracket, turn off power at the main service panel by removing the appropriate fuse or switching appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position. On models having a Noticeable Low Battery level Indicator option, a red LED should flash roughly 4 times per minute. Replace the old smoke alarm battery with a brand new 9 Volt battery. FireX smoke alarms are approved to be used with most 9v batteries but, don’t use any kind of rechargeable battery. When the smoke alarm battery has been replaced, the chirping or beeping ought to stop. In the event your smoke alarm chirps at somewhat occasional times or even randomly right after changing the battery, look for the following issues: It’s possible that battery contacts might not be making positive contact with the circuitry inside the smoke alarm. Removing and reinserting the battery a few times may fix this problem. On smoke alarms having a front-load battery, make sure that the battery compartment door is shut completely. Dust build up within the sensing chamber might cause the smoke alarm to chirp. It’s a good idea to clean your smoke alarms whenever you replace the battery. There’s a space between the top cover and the back plate.

With a vacuum cleaner and a crevice tool simply clean all over the gap area. Pay attention to the sensor area, which you’ll see on the cover its got like a grill over it. The error problem ought to reset once the battery is changed however occasionally it doesn’t and should be manually reset to remove the error. Remove your smoke alarm from the ceiling bracket then detach the power connector. Take out the battery, then push and hold the “test” button for around 15 seconds. The smoke alarm might chirp or beep for a couple of seconds then go silent. Reconnect the power lead and re-install the smoke alarm battery. Your firex smoke alarm will beep once as soon as the electric power is restored and shouldn’t chirp again afterward. The smoke alarm might chirp or beep for a couple seconds then go quiet. Re-install the smoke alarm battery. The smoke alarm will chirp as soon as the battery is reconnected but shouldn’t beep afterwards. This may be a result of power surges. If your smoke alarm is connected to a circuit shared with another device, your smoke alarm might chirp as soon as the other device is turned on. If it is the case and the unit is connected to a wall plug, switch it to a different outlet on a separate circuit. When it is a hard wired device, get an electrician take a look at it. Smoke alarms really should be changed every ten years. FireX smoke alarms have a date code stamped on the label on the back of the smoke alarm if older than ten years change them all. Advertisement.

I guess these are about 12 yrs old and therefore should all be replaced with new units, right. The company that made them, Firex, looks like it was bought out by Kidde. I assume that just have to buy all new ones, pull the old harnesses, and reinstall. It would be easier to get new units and pop them onto the existing wire harness but I'm guessing that's not going to be a standard pigtail. What considerations should I make when looking at new units. Edit: Thanks all! Great info. Thanks all. I'd love to go Nest but it's kind of spendy. I like the idea of the sealed battery that lasts the lifetime of the unit but the reviews on these lifetimes are mixed. Right now I have two detectors in the bedrooms one CO and one smoke. Going combo there will same some hassle. Any thoughts on the lithium batteries? 17 comments share save hide report 79 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best That chirping is saying that its beyond dead and you need a new one. If they are all the same install, I would replace them all. Better safe than sorry when it comes to protecting your home. That harness isnt anything special and can be removed. Each new smoke alarm will come with its our harness and mounting bracket so you wont have to worry about that.
There are a few options out there and its mostly preference. There are combo kits (smoke and CO), voice alarms, and wifi connected ones. I personally only care about hardwired (which you already have) as I dont want to mess with changing batteries and since you already have that, the rest is gravy. It's as simple as matching wire colors really. Do you feel like the price is worth the peace of mind. They sell detectors with adapter plugs for different old systems. This means you plug the harness in the ceiling into an adapter that plugs into the new smoke detector; no wiring required. I had the same problem (chirping detectors, even though they are hard wired). I bought a whole bunch of new detectors from the same company and was so pissed when the plugs didn't match. Kill the breaker and replace harnasses via wire nuts and install new mounting bracket. At least for NJ, state fire code is to have a smoke detector in every bedroom, in common areas within 10 ft of bedrooms (hallways) and 1 on each floor (basement included) standard practice is to utilize smoke detectors in the bedrooms and combination smoke and co detectors in common areas to reduce overall costs whilst maintaining adequate coverage. They will trip much faster than the more common ionization type. Photoelectric is going to detect smoke more from something like a cigarette butt that was still hot being tossed in a trash can and smoldering. Ion detectors are going to detect smoke more from a heater catching drapes on fire. Older alarms are determined to have a 40 probability of failure within the first 8 years. New alarms do better, but should be replaced after 8 years. Easy to install if you have a smart phone. All rights reserved Back to top. Get the truth from people who own a Kidde i4618 (Firex)Hardwired Smoke Alarm, including the fact that it won't. Why are there no screws for mounting this, and what size and type do we need to buy to mount the device. How often are batteries meant to be replaced.
My current alarms chirp continuously whenever the power goes out.Each detector comes with all the needed parts and it took me about ten minutes to replace each one. FireX was acquired three years ago by Kidde, which now carries low-cost adapters that let you plug your wiring harness into Kidde detectors as well as those from other brands like First Alert and BRK. TheyYou are doing the right thing by changing your smoke alarms every 10 years (we recommend carbon-monoxide detectors be replaced every five), and by using interconnected alarms. Although they cost more than standalone models, interconnected alarms all sound together when a fire is detected, so you can get better warning of a fire in the basement while sleeping in a bedroom. When buying replacement smoke alarms, we recommend dual-sensor models-those that utilize both an ionization and photoelectric smoke sensor to detect both smoldering and fast-flaming fires. Here's the URL for one of the videos I watched: - there are many more. You'll see are the beginning of the video that the person doing the video uses a voltage detector to make sure the power has been turned off.I followed the recommendation of replacing one wire on the old harness with the same wire on the new harness at a time and all went smoothly. Once you view this and or other videos, I believe you will get a feel if you are comfortable tackling this potential DIY project. I replaced seven total hardwires and it took 10 minutes or less for each detector.I think if they are too tight it kind of deforms the mount a little making it more difficult to connect. It is designed to be powered by AC wiring and has a battery backup accessible from the outside of it. If the green light is on, it's happy.

Rob If not the correct response please ask the question again with more detail of your problem. If you are trying to install this to replace a different unit that you had up there you may have to have the ring that usually comes with the unit as the older models of Kidde fire extinguishers have a different mounting ring. It comes with a wiring harness designed to be hot wired to your electrical circuit in your home. If you presently have the old First Alert Home smoke alarms in your home, and wish to replace them with the new Kidde models, the Kidde models have a different plug on the back of the smoke alarm. An adapter is available, and is sold separately known as the Kidde KA-F Quick Convert adapter. You can purchase the adapter separately, I bought a bundle of 12. I will attempt to attach a photo if Amazon allows it, which shows the New Firex Model i4618A (Item 21007581) and the wiring harness that comes with it, which is used to hot wire it. I elected to buy the adapters separately, shown to the right of the You simply plug the adapter into the back of the Firex and then your existing wiring harness will just connect to the adapter. Good Luck, Jim Most probably the old one is connected with 2 wire nuts. Undo the old and wire in the new. Done! Shut off the breaker before doing this.
If you are uncomfortable with some simple electrical work you will have to buy adapters. If you have multiple detectors hard wired once you test one, they will all respond with the chipping noise. Hope this was helpful. About half of that, and it is not. Keep reading- it doesn't work the way the manual says!!!! I have only caught one low battery this way. I have never had them chirp, due to a low battery- they have consistently set off all of the alarms in the house, full volume and noise, for several seconds- VERY disconcerting, especially to the kids, and to me, in so far as they automatically assume that it is a battery issue, versus leaving the house. To be honest, so do I, after having been awoken several times in the middle of the night, due to this incredible poor design, (or flawed construction- the instructions don't say that this Maybe it is just me, but I have neither the time, nor patience, to stare at each of these things every day or two, for a minute apiece, in hoping to catch a low battery before they go off. If I had the option (I don't own the house,) I would gladly buy something else, and would have replaced them all, at my own expense, long ago. It should be direct line current that does not go through a switch, e.g. do not extend power from an overhead light that is switched as when the light is turned off the unit will then run off battery. Typically batteries will easily last a year. (The informal convention is you should change the batteries every year when you change the clock for DST in the spring). I asked the company about the adapters and they said sometimes they will do this and they recommend to hardwire instead with some models. I told them I'd hardwire any that exibited this behavior and they responded this would be an acceptable resolution. If you prefer it can be every six months just make sure you have a good battery. It has nothing to do with your apartment's smoke detector system so, yes, it will work on its own.
If the AC power to the unit is interrupted, the unit will chirp when the power is restored. This could be caused by power surges. 5) Replace the alarm. Full instructions Dust will accumulate around the sensor. If these suggesting don't work, you may have a faulty detector. If nothing else I concur with others, replace the unit. Just hold the test button in for about 10 seconds. It will be good for a few months. Ialso found if you burn candles they can set it off. Just match the colored wires, insert the plug into the alarm, and affix to mounting bracket. Very simple. I assumed (I guess correctly) that the yellow wire was equal to the Kidde Firex red. The former Firex had a different shaped plug so I had to use the new plug which matches all other Kidde's we have in another home. The wires are so fine, it was hard to get them to connect inside the wire nuts. I kept getting a red light and just kept trying. As I pushed wires back up into electrical box, one or more would disconnect giving me the red light. On 3rd try, it worked and all is green. I wish Amazon had told me Firex was bought out by Kidde. I would have bought straight Kidde brand if I knew that in advance although the battery on this model is muich easier to change. One end is bare wire to connect to household wiring via wire nuts and the other end plugs into your new alarm. There were only three wires to connect so it was quite simple to replace them if you choose not to use an adapter. We did remove the old mounting brackets and replace them with the new ones which was also easy as the screw holes for the new brackets lined up with the old ones. Hope this helps. So I had to order the KA-F connectors separately from Amazon. At that point, swapping out out with new detectors is easy. Pulling off the connector from old connector requires some strength. Additionally, if this is just one in a multiple detector installation, all of them will need to be changed for them to operate as interconnected detectors.
I believe Kidde does not talk to Firex detectors. Not what you call a drop in solution but I could find nothing easier. You should get the adapters to make sure that no re-wiring is needed. Then plug the adapter into the unit and push the wires up into the ceiling and twist the new unit into place onto the newly installed bracket. It's really simple to install and they do come with a re-wire seI installed 4 of them with the adapters in less than a half hour, doing a re-wire would have taken another half hour and I had to my son to his ball game. All the very best to you. I changed it over in less than 5 minutes. God bless! If not a match just swap the new connector with the old and them plug in, assuming you can get to the wire nuts and are knowledgeable in basic wiring. If you are not handy, there is an interface adapter to connect the detector to the old plug. You may need to replace the base mounting plates as well. The i4618 battery backup is 9 V and is recommended to replaced every year. Cheap insurance. Also sold on Amazon. Hope this helps. Comes with a three wire set up so it can be easily installed. I replaced my old Kidde 1275 with i4618 and he KN-COSM-IBA. Even they are interchangeable, I have to change out both the quick connect wire adapter and bracket for KN-COSM-IBA. I would plug the old adapter into the unit but the head is too big so I can't hook the unit to the bracket. Although I don't need to, I still replacing the bracket for the i4618 as the old bracket has yellowed. Change the bracket is easy as it's screwed into a wire box. Replacing the wire adapter is scary as there is no circuit breaker for the smoke alarm circuit so you will have to either do it live or turn off the power for the whI had them send me a replacement one at no charge to me. The Kidde comes with a new plug with pig tail wires to replace your existing connector. However Amazon sells and adaptor plug for these smoke detector, two in a package.
When you use that Kidde to Firex adapter then YES they are plug and play and install quickly. Do I need adapters or new mounting brackets? I did read a lot of the reviews, but honestly, I have had NO false alarms. One of the features I like about these, which the ones I had didn't have, is you can tell which alarm is giving you trouble, if you are having a false alarm. Hope this helps. However it did wire up and work with my existing smoke detectors which are 22 year old. I would call the help desk at 1-800-888-6788 to verify your present situation. Make sure you have the model NFO, of course, and the manufacturing date stamped on the back. Seems to be working fine now, I tested it fine. This was a good solution for me because as a female, I know very little about wiring and did not want to mess with it. I did have to use the new connector that came with it. Good luck.

Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. However, both types of alarms are designed to provide adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire the benefits of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine in one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies. Connect it to the battery leads before mounting the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm must be tested when a new battery is installed and every week after that.
There may be limiting circumstances where a household member may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member, install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. The best protection is obtained by installing smoke alarms in each room, and each other area of the home, making sure the people in the home will be able to hear and respond to the alarm sound. A smoke alarm will not work if its battery is missing, dead or put in wrong. If you do not have an alarm in the bedroom, and sleep with the door closed, a fire inside the bedroom may not sound the alarm located in another room. Therefore, a smoke alarm must be placed both inside and outside all bedrooms. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT PROMPTLY SENSE A FIRE EXCEPT IN THE AREA OR ROOM IN WHICH THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED. Therefore, smoke alarms must be installed on every floor or level of your home or building. Homeowners and renters alike should continue to insure their lives and properties. It is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke or heat detectors for increased protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke detectors under 2-1.1.1 above. The recommended additional areas are the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace room, utility room, basement, garage (attached or unattached), and hallways not included in Section 2-1.1.1 above. However, the use of additional detectors remains the option of the householder.” See Figure 1.
If your home or residence has two bedroom areas, a smoke alarm must be placed outside the second bedroom area, and inside the bedroom(s) if they have doors. See Figure 2. For example, if you keep kerosene, paint thinner or certain types of contact cements within your residence, install a smoke alarm in that room, unless not recommended by a situation described in the section “WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS.”. See Figure 4. See smoke alarms located in rooms B and C in Figure 4. Install smoke alarms on inside walls in older homes or in homes where you are not sure of the insulation level. In older homes (manufactured in approximately 1976 or before) that have little or no insulation compared to today’s standards, uninsulated metal outside walls and roofs can transfer heat and cold from the outdoors, making the air right next to the wall or roof hot or cold, compared to the rest of the air inside the room. These layers of hot or cold air can prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm. If your mobile home has this condition, put your smoke alarm on an inside wall only, between 4 and 12 inches from the ceiling. If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home or if you notice the outside walls or ceiling are unusually hot or cold, put the smoke alarm on an inside wall.
