Ademco Inc. 1046850 Hardwired Smoke Alarm 10-year Backup

Product Description

The ADEMCO INC. 1046850 is a hardwired AC/DC smoke alarm designed for residential life-safety applications. Operating on 120-volt AC power with a 10-year sealed battery backup, this unit maintains continuous protection during power outages without requiring battery replacements over the life of the device. The alarm supports interconnect wiring, meaning when one unit triggers, all linked alarms sound simultaneously. It is intended for installation by licensed electricians or qualified contractors following local electrical and fire codes.

This smoke alarm is suited for residential installations where interconnected whole-home coverage is required. The hardwired AC/DC design makes it appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects where a neutral wire is available. The 10-year battery backup eliminates the annual battery replacement task common with standard alarms. Multiple units can be wired together to create a coordinated detection network throughout a home or multi-room structure, meeting current interconnect requirements under many residential building codes.

• Interconnectable with compatible hardwired smoke alarms for whole-home coverage
• AC/DC dual-power design maintains protection during power outages

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire and electrical codes. Shut off the circuit breaker supplying the alarm circuit before making any wiring connections. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram for line, neutral, and interconnect connections. Do not install in areas subject to excessive humidity, dust, or temperature extremes outside the rated range, as these conditions can affect detector performance.
