Kidde Hardwired Smoke & CO Detector 2-Pack — Voice Alerts & Interconnect

Overview

The Kidde Hardwired Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector 900-CUAR-V combines two essential safety roles in a single device. Operating on 120V AC with two AA batteries as a backup, it continuously monitors for smoke, fire, and CO while providing clear, user-friendly alerts. The unit leverages photoelectric sensing for smoldering fires and an electrochemical sensor for carbon monoxide, helping you respond quickly in real-life scenarios.

• 2-in-1 detection for smoke and carbon monoxide in one compact unit
• Voice alerts identify the hazard type, such as Fire or Carbon Monoxide
• 85-decibel alarm with red LED indicators ensures audible and visual warnings
• 24/7 self-testing components continuously verify operation (not a substitute for manual tests)
• Interconnect capability links multiple Kidde alarms for whole-home awareness
• Easy installation with a mounting bracket and four orientation options

In everyday use, this detector strives to balance proactive protection with practical convenience. The green LED signals proper operation, amber highlights a fault or connection issue, and red triggers during an alarm, giving you at-a-glance status even when you can’t hear the speaker. The Smart-Hush control quiets nuisance alarms for roughly eight minutes, a handy feature during cooking or steam-filled moments. By design, the device keeps watch even during a power outage thanks to its dual-power setup.

• Hardwired 120V with reliable 2-AA battery backup
• Three LEDs provide quick status checks across zones
• Voice prompts guide you through the situation and potential actions
• Simple installation supports multiple room layouts and orientations

For families and households across multiple levels, interconnectivity helps ensure that a single trigger can raise the alarm throughout the home. The detector is UL Listed and backed by a 10-year limited warranty, reflecting a long-term approach to safety. It is recommended to install detectors on every level and near sleeping areas so every family member has a timely warning in case of a hazard.

Note that self-testing supports ongoing readiness, but it does not replace a manual push test, which should be performed weekly to confirm proper operation.
