Need to use 14/03 wiring in a continuous dedicated circuit. Note that it needs a red wire which is used as the interconnect. Could use thinner than 14 gauge but it is probably cheaper and easier to use regular 14 household wire.

They have a timer inside that sounds an alarm after 7 or 10 years from first use. When it is end of life they need to be replaced.

Can buy in packs of three.
