Does this use the same base the S1208 series and same 120V interconnect? I am getting tons of false alarms on my old ones and want easy replacement.

I'm not familiar with the S1208 series. All I know is that the base is easy to install. You just screw it into a normal 1 gang electrical box and if the interconnect isn't the same, you can just install the new one that comes with the unit.

I don't remember which model my old ones were, but the 9120B used the same wiring as my old ones. The 9120B did not use the same base or mounting bracket as my old ones, but those are easy enough to replace.

I am not sure what model of First Alert my old one were and I have since recycled them. My old and new models have the identical quick connect plug. I did not have to do anything but replace the base mounting ring and plug in the new unit.

I found a datasheet for the module here:http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/education/docs/pir/31227sc.pdf and for the BISS0001 chip it uses here: http://www.ladyada.net/media/sensors/BISS0001.pdf (accessed 12Sep2014). The output (of both the chip and this module) is rated 3.3V at only 10mA, which will safely drive a digital input pin, FET gate or small bipolar transistor base. The BISS0001 data sheet example circuit shows how to use the output with an NPN transistor to control a 12V relay. (If the links go stale/disappear, I found them by searching for the chip, BISS0001, or the module, HC-SR501 (or equivalent DSN-FIR800, the one I received).

Mine is a MITW50L6BN12. Not sure what the difference is between a CX15 and a BN12, but I can send pics if you like. I had to move the transformer from the old one to this one and re-route the wiring into the old wiring coupler, but it's working great. If you're handy, it's not bad.

All I can tell u is it takes 12 volt dc to operate. U can check with a meter to see if the output is 12 volt dc when alarm is activated.

Yes, but to do so you must replace one of your existing units with/or add one Kidde 1279-9999/RF-SM-AC Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup, Interconnectable, to your existing system (assuming that your presently installed devices are a different brand other than Kidde). The Kidde 1279-9999/RF-SM-AC is capable of communicating with the Kidde 0919-9999/RF-SM-DC Battery-Operated devices and will receive/activate alarms from/to other wired units. If you already have a Kidde 1279-9999/RF-SM-AC installed, then you are in great shape, just add the Kidde 0919-9999/RF-SM-DC units as needed.

Agree with RIS.Depends on how your old ones are wired, or linked together, if at all.If they are powered by 120 volt house current, and are linked together, the answer would most likely be "no".If your old detectors are battery-operated type, and of the "stand alone" variety, the answer would be "yes".I replaced several of my old "First Alert" battery operated detectors with these, and have had no issues.

I used this siren to replace one that had gone bad on a Honeywell Ademco 20P hard wired alarm system. I believe that the siren/bell hookup was 12v DC on the alarm contacts. This did not require me to install any separate adapter. The siren works very well on my system.

I only have one, and it's a newer one, but being as they are the same maker, and the way they plug in, I would be surprised if not. Hope that helps

Douglas, It should be compatible. Make sure it has the same type terminals. You could also consider upgrading to a 5.0 AH battery like I did. One that should work for you is CA1240 12V 4AH FIRST ALERT ADT ALARM BATTERY NEW PS-1250. Available from Amazon and highly rated. the 5.0 AH batteries are slightly larger, but there was plenty of room in my panel to accommodate it. 5.0 AH means it will keep your system running 25% longer once the power goes out. Hope this helps. Max Richardson

No, they are the same voltage but the way they are designed is completely different. They will not interchange.

I found that the connector on the wires was a little difficult to seat in the receptacle on the smoke alarm. You might look at the connector to be sure that the pins didn't bend. There is a "key" on the connector and the receptacle so that it should only mate one way.Also, did you put backup batteries in the alarm?Did the green light work in the old alarm?

Sorry no idea --- check to see what bases support the 88002 and then do the same for your 82318. If your base number is listed for both you should be home free

There were two versions of the remote. The old remote was a numeric readout of wattage being used by the inverter, and the new current one is a simple bar graph. IF you happen to have the older remote, and it turns on but does not turn the inverter on/off this is expected. I did a rebuild of an older one and found that the daughter board that controls the low voltage alarm and remote on/off functionality was completely redesigned to be more reliable. Hope this info helps you.Cheers

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 #.

Austin,I used this unit integrated into an alarm unit for a friend, but as I remember it is has a dc power jack on it for the 12 volt output. It also includes a dc power cable with female connectors on each end. One end plugs into the power jack, the other end will plug into whatever you to operate. You will need a matching male dc power plug, which can be purchased at Radio Shack etc. Hope this helps,Jack

The best person to ask this would be your mechanic. The wiring is made to connect with the alarm and disconnect manually. As I am using it now I have to press it manually. Perhaps your mechanic knows how to inter-connect the two. Sorry I was not more helpful.

yes this is all you will need to replace the sentrol unit. If you currently have the sentrol 240 wired into your home alarm, the rewiring is straight forward: the + and - power lines and the alarm sensor wire which is either Normally Closed or Normally Open. I believe tghe GE has both, so when you are unwiring the Sentrol pay attention and do the same connection on the GE.
