I currently have eight Kidde i12060 detectors hard wired together in my home.. Can I replace one or more of them with the model 1275?

It should be an issue to replace one model for another as long as the voltage is the same (US 120V). You may have to install the connector that comes with the new alarm if it has a different connector. Otherwise they are both ionic sensing and very similar in functionality.

I do not know. I used it to replace the obsolete # 1276. I determined that it was a good substitute by visiting the Kidde website

That's a question best answered by the manufacturer. I know that I replaced my alarms and the pigtail was different even though they were the same manufacturer, but I also changed out all 3 of mine as they were old enough to be of concern of not being set off in an alarm situation. Remember these things are only good for 10 years, the isotope's half life drops out of range for the reliability we expect from an alarm. I the I12060 are nearing that age it is time to upgrade them, to which the compatibility question is moot.

I do not know. But I can tell you that if you contact kidde directly with that question they will answer you in a timely manner. I had a model that I was looking for a match to and I wrote to them one day and had my answer the next. Kidde actually responded with two different models that would have worked for me. GREAT customer service. Here is the link to email or call them: http://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/locator/contact-us/

From my experience, yes. The i1206 specs indicate "Up to 24 Kidde devices" can be interconnected. I have different models of Kidde products interconnected (CO, Smoke - ionization and photo electric) throughout my home at all levels. When one goes off, they all go off. Bob.

I was simply replacing one that was already in but not functioning. Attached similar with similar wiring. If you are converting a standard fixture with this device, it would be negligent of me to advise you, since I am not an electrician AND I don't know what you're converting. It's a great device when installed safely and VERY functional as you get older and grasping knobs and light switches becomes more difficult. Talk to some one at your local electrical store or a friend who knows/is an electrician. Sorry I couldn't help more.

In my case I changed brands in one home and had to rewire. But throat her home this was just a simple remove attach the wire to the new unit. If you have a first alert then you just connect the new unit, if not your results can vary.

It's been my experience that any of these round detectors will work for any other model. At most, you will need to replace the plug that is connected to the wires coming out of the wiring safety box = the (usually octogonal) metal or hard plastic container in which the wires for the device become available. That's simple to do, just re-use the screw caps that are already there!

I have 5 detectors and one co2 unit all connected to each other and it works fine. If you have more and a larger sized home I recommend the units with the voice warnings so you know which one had been activated. Use sticky notes or tape to ID each one when you do the set up

Adding Kidde alarm units to an established circuit has never been easier than with the Kidde RF-SM-AC. This hardwired wireless interconnectable smoke alarm with battery backup can expand your current coverage by simply replacing an interconnected alarm and adding the Kidde RF-SM-AC. Once this unit has become part of your circuit, you can add as many Kidde wireless smoke alarms as are necessary to expand your realm of protection. No wiring is required to install this device, as you can simply mount it on any wall or ceiling to start expanding your Kidde alarm circuit. If the alarm sounds to alert you of a possible fire hazard, the wireless technology of the Kidde RF-SM-AC will spread the alarm to the rest of your circuit, warning you no matter where you are. This device is UL listed and compatible with any Kidde alarm devices, allowing you to create a wide range of protection no matter the size of your area. One last thing just make sure you set all the same codes in all your wireless smoke detectors.

I received the exact model shown and it matches(size and wires) the ones in my house. The plug for the wires is tee shaped as are the plugs that were installed in my house. They are a direct replacement and I did not change the wires. This model is an upgraded version(new hush feature). My house was built in 2000. If your house is older, you may have to splice in the new plug(tee) that comes with the detector.

Yes you can replace a bad 1276 with the 21006931. That is exactly what I did. I had one that wouldn't quit squeaking and had to be disabled. I replaced it with the one I ordered from Amazon.

Yes, this is a direct replacement for the 240 coe. A couple of notes on the swap. The old detector is a wide rectangle. There is a plate available to cover up the holes from the old one if you don't want to repair the screw holes in the wall. The big thing is to find out if you have more than one detector on one zone of the alarm. If not you are fine. If you have two or more you actually need a 6 wire connection between the two detectors to maintain proper supervision. In this instance it is a 4 wire from the panel to the first detector and 6 wire out to the next detector. Also ensure that the end of line resistor is installed as shown in the manual. It ensures that when the sensor reaches its end of life in 5 or so years it puts the zone in trouble so you know it is time to replace it.

It depends on the model #. After buying two, which turned out not to fit 120-890B I bought in 2005, I called Kidde customer service, and they confirmed KA-F won't work with that model. I will have to buy two more and then replace all four in the house, hard-wired by an electrician. There was one comment here that was promising, saying to go to atlantasupply.com. That site gives the details on what Kidde model specifically replaces my Firex version and sold with the correct adapter...unfortunately that replacement alarm got terrible reviews on Amazon. You could go to that site and look for your specific replacement and hope it's not PE120E It depends on the model #.

Sorry, not sure. The cord is special, and must be bought as a second item for normal wired detectors. Not sure how the wireless would work.

No, you should be able to use as many as you want. I have 5 in my house. All you need to do is set the dip switches all the same so they all operate on the same channel. That way when any one of them goes off, the rest will follow suit. These are all completely wireless operated. Ours were checked by our local building inspector after I installed them and they were given a thumbs up.
