The model SLED177i AC wire-in Strobe light can be directly interconnected with Kidde
Safety 3-wire Smoke, Heat and CO alarms. It will produce an intermittent strobe flash
pattern (approximately 4 flashes, followed by approximately 5 seconds off) when triggered by a Carbon Monoxide alarm and a flash every second when triggered by a
smoke or heat alarm.

The following diagram shows that the light intensity gradually decreases as the
viewing angle is increased. Use this information to determine the best location
for the strobe light.
2. APPLICATIONS
PRIMARY DIRECT AND INDIRECT VISIBLE SIGNAL
Locate the strobe light on the ceiling in the center of the room or on
the wall a minimum of 80"(2 m) above the floor.
For rooms larger than 250 sq. ft. (14 ft. by 16 ft. - 4.27m by 4.88 m) the
notification device should be located within 16 feet of the pillow when located in a
sleeping area.
SUPPLEMENTARY VISIBLE SIGNAL
The strobe must be located more than 30 inches above the floor.
3. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS OF VISUAL SIGNALING DEVICES
• Locate the first strobe light in the bedroom in which the hearing impaired
individual sleeps. If the bedroom door is kept closed at night, an
interconnecting smoke detector must also be installed in that bedroom.
• Locate additional strobe lights in any lived-in room where a hearing impaired
individual would need to be notified of an alarm condition.
4. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
• In direct sunlight or high ambient light areas; the bright light may reduce one’s
ability to notice the strobe light.
•
In areas where the temperature may fall below 0°C (32°F) or rise above 49°C (120°F).
• In areas with high humidity.
• Do not use outdoors (This device is not listed for outdoor use).

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY – WIRING REQUIREMENTS
• This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or recognized junction
box. All connections should be made by a qualified electrician and all wiring
used shall be in accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must
be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the
resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
• The appropriate power source is regulated 120VAC (96-132VAC) AC single
phase supplied from a non-switched circuit, which is not protected by a ground
fault interrupter.
MODEL SLED177i WIRING INSTRUCTIONS: For AC QUICK CONNECT 3 WIRE HARNESS.
WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a
square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These type
of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid
installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources
produce high peak voltages that will damage the strobe light.
CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE
WIRING THE STROBE LIGHT.
1. When Strobe lights and alarms are interconnected, all the interconnected
devices must be powered from the same circuit.
2. A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected in a multiple
station arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA
interconnect limits of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat,
Carbon Monoxide, etc). With 18 interconnected alarms it is still possible to
interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
