Page 14: Good Safety Habits
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition. • Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different floor. -

Questions and answers
Hello, I have a question on a smoke detector kidde model i12020. the green light is on but it is beeping. the detector was being tested.
The Kidde smoke detector model i12020 may be beeping even though the green light is on due to several possible reasons:
1. Smoke or Fire Detection – If the alarm detects smoke or combustion particles, it will sound an alarm.
2. Interconnected Alarm Activation – If it is connected to other Kidde alarms, it may be sounding due to another unit detecting smoke.
3. Low Battery Warning (If Applicable) – Although the i12020 does not have a battery backup, if it is part of an interconnected system, another unit with a low battery could be triggering the beeping.
4. Malfunction or Maintenance Issue – A fault in the unit or accumulated dust may cause nuisance alarms, requiring cleaning or replacement.
5. Testing Mode – If the TEST button was recently pressed, the alarm may beep as part of a self-test.
Regular testing and maintenance are recommended to ensure proper operation.
