Please Note: The Kidde Firex KF10 (previously 4870 / KF1) and KF10R (previously 4881 / KF1R) are replacements for the Kidde 1239HI, 1275H, 1275, Kidde i240C / 1240C and 1239HILLs and can be interlinked. However, the new models cannot be used on the old base plates and use different connector blocks. This means that base plates must be swapped over and connectors need to be replaced.
