Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup and Voice

The First Alert SM100V-AC Interconnect Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup and Voice and Location Alerts meets the latest industry standards and is equipped with First Alert's Precision Detection advanced sensing technology. Battery backup provides protection during power outages.  Superior features help provide an early warning to help guide your escape to safety.

Reliable Smoke Protection

The SM100V-AC Interconnect Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup and Voice and Location Alerts is a superior choice for protection against fire. Easily add protection throughout your home or replace existing hardwired detectors using the hardwired quick connect plug - no rewiring needed. This hardwired smoke alarm is also equipped with a backup battery to provide continuous protection in the event of a power outage.

Voice & Locations Alerts

If smoke is detected, the hardwired alarm will sound and a friendly voice will tell you the location of danger in your home to help you safely escape. Easy to program and operate, the smoke detector allows you to choose between 11 pre-programmed home locations.

Early Warning Interconnect

Install as a standalone smoke alarm or interconnect multiple detectors together to create an alarm system throughout your home. When one hardwired interconnected alarm sounds, all connected alarms will sound to help provide an early warning. Integrate with up to 12 other First Alert or BRK alarms and 6 other compatible devices. Please reference your user’s manual for compatible alarms. If the detector system sounds, the latching alarm indicator will visually identify the unit that initiated the alarm.

Convenient Safety Features

Ensure the smoke detector is working properly using the single test/silence button located on the front of the alarm. The device batteries should be replaced regularly and alarms themselves should be replaced at least every 10 years. The low battery and end-of-life warnings will help notify you when it’s time to replace. See user's manual for information on how and when to test and replace detectors. Help stop unwanted removal of the backup battery or alarm using the optional locking features.

Upgrade to 8th Generation Alarms

First Alert's Precision Detection Advanced Sensing Technology meets the latest safety standards set by UL 217 8th Edition. This means this smoke alarm is better at distinguishing between harmless cooking smoke and real fires. Additionally, 8th edition smoke alarms can detect smoke from burning synthetic materials, which are common in modern homes. This translates to fewer bothersome false alarms and a crucial early warning in case of a fire emergency.

Connecting First Alert Hardwired Alarms to 120V Wiring

To begin, turn off power at the junction box and connect your alarm to the building's electrical wiring.

  1. Locate the junction box and turn off power
  2. Remove the power connector from the new alarm's packaging
  3. Using wire nuts, attach the hot (black), neutral (white), and interconnect (orange) wires

Attach to black wire on power connector
White wire
(neutral)
Attach to white wire on power connector
Orange wire
(interconnect)

Standalone (single-station) alarm: This wire is not needed; tuck the orange wire into the junction box.

Interconnected alarms:

  • Strip 1/2 in. from the orange wire on the connector
  • Use a wire nut to attach it to the orange wire in the junction box (see image below).

Mounting First Alert Hardwired Alarms

  1. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall using screws (included in the package)
  2. Insert the power connector into the plug on the back of your alarm
  3. Tuck any hanging wires into the junction box
  4. Position the base of the alarm onto the bracket and turn it clockwise until it's secured
  5. Remove the pull-tab to activate the backup battery

Installing Additional and/or Interconnecting First Alert Hardwired Alarms

If you are installing more smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, you'll want to repeat the process throughout the building. Interconnected smoke and co alarms must meet all requirements:

  • The same fuse or circuit breaker must power all interconnected alarms.

  • Up to 18 compatible detectors can interconnect, with a limit of 12 smoke alarms.

  • The total length of wire interconnecting the alarms should be less than 1,000 ft. (300 meters). This type of wire is commonly available at hardware and electrical supply stores.

  • All wiring must conform to all local electrical codes and NFPA 70 (NEC). Refer to NFPA 72, NFPA 101, and your local building code for more information.

  • Interconnect wiring diagram:

If you have any doubts or reservations about these interconnect requirements, please contact an experienced electrician to install your wiring and hardwired alarms.


Restoring Power and Testing Hardwired Alarms

Once you've installed your hardwired alarms, you'll want to restore power to the junction box. Under regular operation, the power indicator light on the alarm will shine/blink to indicate that it is receiving AC power.

Here's how you can test standalone or interconnected alarms:

  • Standalone Alarms: Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the unit triggers an alarm.

  • Interconnected Alarms: Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the first unit triggers an alarm. All interconnected detectors should sound off. Repeat this process to test each alarm in the interconnected series.

What is the UL 217 8th Edition Smoke Alarm Update?

UL Solutions has updated its smoke alarm standards requiring smoke alarm manufacturers to meet new requirements by June 30th, 2024, to reduce nuisance alarms and detect smoke from synthetic materials. This update is known as UL 217 8th Edition and helps to improve fire protection for modern homes. As a leader and the most trusted brand in fire safety*, First Alert has introduced Precision Detection advanced sensing technology to meet new UL 217 8th Edition industry standards. First Alert Precision Detection Smoke Detectors and Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms are available for online purchase at the First Alert Store.

*First Alert Brand Trust Survey, March 2023 – Results are based on the responses of 1,043 adult homeowners, ages 25 and older, living in the United States who completed an online survey asking them to choose from six brands in the smoke, fire and carbon monoxide protection space.

Why Should I Use First Alert Precision Detection?
Our new advanced sensing technology complies with UL 217 8th Edition smoke alarm standards to reduce cooking nuisance alarms and provide an early warning in the event of a home fire emergency. Current smoke alarms will continue to provide protection until they reach their end of life. However, when it’s time to replace the smoke alarms in your home or you want to upgrade to the latest technology, look for Precision Detection to help identify compliant First Alert alarms. Smoke alarms should be replaced at least every 10 years.
Why Should I Install 8th Edition Smoke Alarms?
In a home fire emergency, every second counts. Modern homes tend to be built and furnished with lighter, synthetic materials that burn hotter and faster. These homes also may feature layouts with higher ceilings and open floor plans. This may result in less time for a safe evacuation if a fire breaks out. Escape times have reduced from 10-15 minutes in the 1970’s to 1-2 minutes today (NFPA). 8th edition smoke alarms are better at detecting fires in homes built and furnished with modern construction materials where fires can spread at a faster pace. Install 8th edition smoke alarms and create an escape plan with your family to help be prepared.
What is the #1 Reason Why Smoke Alarms Are Disabled?
The #1 reason why people disable smoke alarms in their home is due to nuisance alarms caused by cooking or steam leaving them unprotected (NFPA). Almost 3 of every 5 home fire deaths result from fires with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms (NFPA) so it is important to install and maintain your home’s alarms. Installing 8th edition alarms equipped with Precision Detection and following proper placement of at least 15 ft. away from cooking appliances will help reduce nuisance alarms.
Why Is My Smoke Alarm Beeping?

Smoke alarms can beep for to the following reasons:

  • Low Battery: This is the most common cause. Most smoke detectors use a chirping sound (usually a single beep every 30-60 seconds) to warn you that the batteries are running low and need to be replaced. Don't wait until the alarm is silent - replace the batteries right away to ensure your smoke alarm continues to function properly.
  • End of Life: Smoke alarms don't last forever. If your smoke detector is beeping constantly or in a different pattern than the low battery chirp, it may be nearing the end of its intended lifespan and should be replaced altogether.
