On a closed thread of a similar name you posted a great response:
"Firex and Kidde have received Underwriters Laboratory (UL) listing to interconnect certain Firex smoke alarms to certain Kidde smoke and smoke/CO alarms. Firex alarms of models ADC (4518 series) and FADC (4618 and 5000 series) can be interconnected with Kidde smoke alarms of models i12020, i12040, i12060, i12080, 1235, 1275, 1276, 1285, PE120, PI2000, RF-SM-AC/DC and combination smoke/CO alarm model KN-COSM-IB (part number 900-0114).
The listing applies only to the models in the above paragraph, and not to any other models. Some examples of models that are NOT listed for Firex/Kidde interconnection are the Firex model PAD (4480), FADCP (4490), G-6 (406), FXW-R (428), GC (41216), PG (484), ADH (5700), 499 relay, 501 relay, COE (10000 series), FADCM (12000 series), and Kidde models 1296, HD135F, and KN-COB-IC (900-0120)."
:? Unfortunately, It does include Firex model 4580 (FAPD). I am attempting to replace one of six detectors that are failing with Kidde model P12040 (PE120). After reviewing all available data I find this (kidde) model has some of the Firex devices listed in common with devices in both of your lists, non-compatible & compatible. I have attempted to contact Kidde at 1-800-880-6788, only to get a busy tone on many attempts, worst tech support ever.
Any thoughts on the matter, other than replace all six, they are not that old. By the way, keep up the good work :thumbsup: & Happy Holidays.
