Why Does Kidde Specify A Non-GFCI Protected Circuit For Their Smoke Alarms ?
Hello:
About to buy a few Kidde P12000 Smoke alarms. The AC wired type, with both ionization and photocell. Looked at their on-line instructions, and was surprised to see that they say to install on circuits that are NOT GFCI protected. Seems surprising. Anyone know the reason why ? Thanks, Bob ----------------- " Make certain all alarms are wired to a single, continuous (non-switched) power line, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. " |
