Hardwired Smoke Detectors (9120B)

Support

Hi everyone,

I have a house with several hardwired First Alert smoke detectors (Model No 9120B). When one of these detectors goes off, they all sound off due to the hardwired connection.

I’m looking for a way to connect these detectors to my IQ Panel 4 so that I can get notified if an alarm goes off while I’m away from home. Ideally, I’d like to replace just one of the detectors with a compatible hardwired model that can connect to my IQ Panel 4, allowing the whole system to be integrated with the smart panel.

Does anyone know of a hardwired detector that would work for this purpose, or if there’s another solution I could consider?

I also see this product. Would this be the only way to set up a system like this?

There are no AC powered hardwired detectors that communicate with the IQ Panel.

The Firefighter you linked is what you would need.

That is an audio detector that gets mounted near one of the wired smoke detectors. Whenever the circuit is tripped and the sirens sound, the Firefighter triggers the fire alarm on the alarm panel.

Got it, thank you! Will def be getting that

Seems weird wireless/wired hybrid detector doesn’t exist yet.

@jwcsurety One more question. If a smoke detector has a low battery chirp, does it risk setting off this device? Or will only an alarm trigger it?

Thanks,
Nick

Only the actual fire alarm siren will result in an alarm
