How do these know which unit triggered the alarm? It states "Provides hazard location information (such as smoke in the kitchen)"

When you set up device you program the device as to its location(I.e. Kitchen,basement, master bedroom, etc) Then when there is an alert, the unit is just telling you the location that you programmed.

These are designed to connect to each other not to other brands and types of alarms. We have other existing units which will be triggered their own by smoke but will not chain react with the kiddes. The units are bought of same brand and set up to trigger each other from a different part of house or close houses , garages or sheds...So a garage unit could alarm in your home to notify you if as soon as a fire was causing smoke and before your car burned up.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

I wish! I had 120 in an apartment building and couldn't even begin to tell you of the countless false alarms we've had since they were installed in 2010. I never found one to mix and match with these. If it is hooked into a relay check that too as sometimes that is the problem.

No it does not. I use my grill frequently and have never had an issue with smoke alarms.

Our house sounds similar to yours. We only needed one to put in our laundry/storage/1/2 bath room on the lowest level of house. Our fire department comes every few years and replaces the other alarms we have. One is in the dining room above the entrance to the kitchen. The other is in the stairwelll going to our bedrooms. The one near the kitchen goes off if we are cooking something that really smokes. That's ok, though. I like the fact that it's doing its job. Hope this helps you make a decision.

We have 2 (our house by code will need 9 total alarms but this issue has us paused on ordering more). Both had multiple false alarms within the first 30 days. We returned each (separately) and were sent new units. Neither has false alarmed and it's been almost a year since the first one (we got them right when they came out).

It's an alarm. We don't have ours activated to the alarm. We have ours to the video. Too much sets the alarm off.

you can replace it with any smoke alarm that supports your connection, these are great smoke alarms and I stayed with the 1276 units, they are easier to change the batteries in,and they have a great track record.. but its your call any smoke alarm is better than none..hope this helps.

Base unit has 4 lights, the sensor that is triggered lights to corresponding light on base. Sensor takes a 9 volt battery, base unit plugs into wall outlet. The base will alarm up to 4 sensors. Alarm does have an off switch.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

It is number 2034. It seems to detect when someone opens the door to enter the room and runs the test at that moment. Really disappointing because I had an old First Alert 9V model that was fantastic for 10 years.

I don't know. I asked questions at a recent safety fair to local firefighters. They gave me a sheet with explanations of the types of fire alarms and the features of each one. I am not sure what model was in our home, but do know it was standard, builder-grade and was hard-wired with a battery back-up.

the 2 old units I replaced were Lifesaver Model 1255 - I think most units are standardized to communicate over the 3rd wire so all alarms connected together sound when any one goes off. If you don't require that feature, I think any standard 2 wire unit can replace any other. See this link to help in deciding if you want photo or ion (or the combo unit I bought) https://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-consumers/fire-and-safety-equipment/smoke-alarms/ionization-vs-photoelectric

There is a little screw type pin that you pull out in an emergency. You just jerk it & it alarms. You just put the pin in back in the hole & turn it a few times to turn it off. It serves the purpose.

You can set up the control module to call the police directly but all they will hear is the system message (ie. Alarm sensor # was triggered). Also the calling method is landline and you will need to tell the police dept that you setup your system to call them if alarm is triggered. My advice is that you setup system to call you and then you be the judge to call the police of it's a real break-in situation.

All of the wireless detectors that have been paired together will alarm in unison and will announce what alarm location the threat is detected. There is no switchable frequency as they all operate on the same wireless frequency (not Wi-Fi).
