Ademco Inc. 1046838 Hardwired Smoke Alarm 120V Ac 6 Pack

Product Description

The ADEMCO INC. 1046838 is a 120-volt AC hardwired smoke alarm with battery backup, sold in a six-unit pack. Designed for residential applications, it uses precision detection sensing technology to identify smoke conditions and trigger an alert early. The unit operates on 120 volts AC from a hardwire connection and includes a battery backup to maintain protection during power outages. Licensed electricians and HVAC service technicians typically handle hardwired smoke alarm installations as part of new construction or retrofit projects. Its wiring design allows it to replace existing alarms without pulling new wire.

This smoke alarm is suited for residential installations where interconnected whole-home alarm coverage is required. The unit is interconnect compatible, meaning when one alarm detects smoke, all connected alarms sound simultaneously throughout the structure. This makes it appropriate for multi-room and multi-floor residential builds as well as replacement projects in existing homes where the existing wiring topology is already in place. Local building codes may dictate placement requirements, quantities, and interconnect mandates — verify compliance before installation.

Key Features

• 120-volt AC hardwire operation with battery backup for continuous protection during outages
• Interconnect compatible — links with other compatible alarms for whole-home coverage
• Precision detection sensing technology for early smoke detection
• Drop-in replacement design allows installation without rewiring existing circuits
• Sold as a six-unit pack for multi-room or multi-floor installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for 120-volt AC hardwired residential smoke alarm systems with interconnect wiring. Verify interconnect compatibility with existing alarm models before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of hardwired smoke alarms should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local building codes. Power down the circuit at the breaker panel before disconnecting or connecting any wiring. Do not bypass the battery backup or leave the battery slot empty, as this defeats the unit's ability to operate during a power interruption. Confirm local code requirements for alarm placement, spacing, and interconnect mandates prior to beginning work.
