Jojo Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Looking for a replacement for his product. Single alarm with no links but I don't want to have to change the power block nor base plate. Are there any options? thanks for any help!

Safelincs Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi Jojo The Kidde KF10 replaced the i240. However, base plate and connector blocks still have to be exchanged. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrevP Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hello, I have 2 hard wired Firex i240c smoke alarms fitted. One in the hallway & one on the landing. They both recently started chirping & despite changing the batteries they continued, even when dismounted from the baseplate/electrics. We have found a sticker inside with a 'replace by 2016' notice on them. Can I get just the working unit, or do I need to have completely new hard wired units including the ceiling baseplates & do they need replacing by a qualified electrician? Kind regards, TrevP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi, this smoke alarm is the replacement for i240c and all you have to replace is the alarm including base. The wiring can stay in place as long as it fulfills general safety requirements. Kind Regards Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 the KF20 will fit the base of the i240c perfectly. THe information in other web chats is incorrect on this......and also the information on amazon. I just purchased the KF20 and when i came to fit it i was preparing for some rewiring but thought i would just check to see if it fit into the i240c base plate and into the i240c connector. It does. i have tested the alarms and they work perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tate Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi I have firex par 230c, is there a replacement that doesn't require re wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-foam Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Having never heard of either, I used google to find that the firex par 230c is made by Kidde, I then asked Kidde what the replacement is, they said "The KF20R is a direct replacement for the firex par 230c." So a big thanks to Kidde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
