Kidde 9V Battery Operated Smoke Alarm

The Kidde Smoke Detector, model i9030, is a 9V battery-operated smoke alarm that utilizes ionization sensor technology to detect invisible fire particles associated with flaming fires more quickly than photoelectric alarms. When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound, and a red LED will indicate the device is sensing the threat. This smoke detector is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery, enabling easy installation without any wiring and providing continuous protection even during power outages.

The test-hush button on the Kidde Smoke Detector allows users to test the battery operations and silence any nuisance alarms caused by cooking or shower steam. When it is time to replace the battery, the device will emit a chirping sound to alert the homeowner. Kidde recommends installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors on every level of the home and near bedrooms to help keep families safe from fire and poisonous gas.

Certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and backed by a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty, the Kidde Smoke Detector meets the requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing Authority (FHA) standards.

Tragically, 70% of all home fire deaths occur in homes with no alarms or no working alarms, and nearly one quarter of smoke alarms in reported fires are not functioning. Battery-operated ionization smoke alarms, like the Kidde model, are designed to protect occupants from the dangers of fire. The tamper-resist feature also helps make the smoke alarm less susceptible to tampering.

For optimal home safety, Kidde recommends installing UL-listed smoke alarms on every floor, in hallways, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. While ionization alarms may detect invisible fire particles associated with fast-flaming fires sooner than photoelectric alarms, studies show both types effectively detect either type of fire. Therefore, Kidde advises installing both smoke alarm technologies for comprehensive protection.

In summary, the Kidde Smoke Detector, model i9030, is a basic, affordable, and easy-to-use ionization smoke alarm powered by a 9V battery. It provides reliable smoke and fire detection, even during power outages, with an 85-decibel alarm, a tamper-resist feature, and a test-hush button for user convenience. Backed by UL certification and a 10-year limited warranty, this smoke alarm meets relevant safety standards to help keep families safe from the dangers of fire.
