Can you link together a couple of smoke alarm units with a couple of smoke alarm &amp; Carbon Monoxide alarm units?

I'm looking for an answer on this, too. I need 6 total but I think only having 2 CO units would be fine. I'd prefer to save the cost of buying them all with CO detection. Did you get an answer, Bob?

If you have some way of connecting them. It is an individual unit. I would not recommend it.

I believe they offer smoke detectors and heat sensors that can be connected to the security alarm.

You may need a battery-operated only smoke alarm, like the USI CD-9775 9-Volt Battery Operated Combination Ionization Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which you can find on Amazon by typing in B002EVORNY into the search box. Amazon offers other battery-operated smoke / CO alarms by other manufacturers as well. Good luck.

I can't speak to the smoke alarms. But the multi sensors include the ability to monitor temperatures and you can then trigger alarms based off a temperature threshold

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.

I can't think of a way to link them together.Mine has been great. It's super bright, and the motion sensor is quite sensitive.

Yes you can. Activate the alarm by pulling out the battery protector tab and plug the smoke detector into the existing home wiring. When completed, test the system by pressing and holding the test button for a few seconds and make sure all alarms sound at once.

Sorry for the very late response... yes they DO connect together. The only issue will be that these will be the only units that can alert you of CO. If a fire occurs, they all will sound.

Hi Gilbert, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately you would not be able to use those sensors with the alarm system. If you wanted to replace them, we have smoke detectors and heat detectors for this alarm. Just let me know.Sincerely,Andrew

According to Kidde support, any Kidde detector with wired interconnection may be used with any other Kidde interconnectable detector. So you may mix old and new devices, but as pointed out by Capt. Kevin, if you have any devices in your system older than ten years, you should be replacing them anyway! This also includes detectors for CO and explosive gases.Also note there is no industry standard for interconnection, so all detectors must of the same brand.

No, but you should always have a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector. For your safety in anything that has propane appliances.

You can link many of them! I have 6, two on each floor. Two of them are fire+co, the other 4 are just fire. Works fine

You are correct that wired in parallel as many sensors as desired can be used. The alarm unit will go into alarm if any one of the sensors is triggered.

Yes, First Alert SA501CN2 Interconnected Wireless Battery Operated Smoke Alarm

yes. carbon monoxide is a silent killer. you should have both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector. just be aware that while cooking the carbon monoxide detector could/prob will go off so you might want to take the batteries out.

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?
