Kidde Sealed Lithium Battery Power Smoke Alarm
i9010

The Kidde i9010 is a 10-year, sealed battery operated smoke alarm featuring Hush™, Alarm Memory, and a self-activation mechanism that makes installation simple and easy.

The alarm will automatically activate when it is attached to the mounting bracket; there are no pull-tabs, no switches--everything is automatic. The sealed-in board-mounted battery will power the i9010 unit for its complete 10-year life. No replacement battery will ever be needed, and an End of Life alert indicates when it is time to replace the alarm.

At the end of the alarm’s 10-year life, deactivation of the alarm is just as easy. Using a tool such as a small screwdriver, a deactivation switch removes power from the alarm and renders the battery safe for disposal. As an added safety mechanism, the alarm lockout feature prevents a deactivated unit from being mounted back on the mounting bracket.

The i9010 also features Hush™ technology, allowing consumers to temporarily silence nuisance alarms, and an Alarm Memory feature that alerts the user via rapidly flashing LED lights if the alarm has sounded since the last time the test/reset button was used.

This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home.

• Sealed-In Lithium Battery – Sealed-in lithium power supply; no battery replacement required over the 10 year life of the alarm. Eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized deactivation of alarm.

• Self Activation – Alarm automatically activates when attached to the mounting bracket.

• Alarm Memory – Rapidly flashing LED alerts user if the alarm has sounded since the last time the test/reset button was used.

• Hush^TM – Will temporarily silence nuisance alarms and will not allow hush mode to be activated unless the unit is in alarm mode.

• Test/Reset Button – Tests unit’s circuit operation and resets memory after an alarm condition occurs.

• End of Life Warning – Alarm chirps every 40-45 seconds indicating the alarm is in need of replacement.

• Tamper Resist – (when activated upon installation) effective in preventing someone from removing the unit from the mounting bracket.

• LED – A flashing red indicator light with four modes of operation: standby, alarm mode, hush mode, and memory set.

Technical Specifications

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde unit i9010/i9010CA or approved equal. It shall be powered by a non-replaceable lithium battery with a 10-year life. The lithium battery shall be sealed in the unit to prevent removal and/or tampering. The unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal sensitivity of 0.88%/ft (.95%/ft for unit i9010CA). The temperature operating range shall be between 40°F and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operating range shall be 5% - 85% relative humidity. The smoke alarm can be installed on the surface of any wall or ceiling following the UL/Manufacturer’s approved placement guidelines. The alarm shall incorporate an automatic activation feature that will activate the unit as soon as it is attached to the mounting bracket, no other steps are involved. The alarm shall provide optional tamper resistance that locks the unit to the mounting bracket and deters removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling. The alarm shall include a test button that will simulate a fire condition and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s electronics to ensure proper operation. The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet. The unit shall include the HushTM feature that silences the unit for 7-9 minutes if a nuisance condition occurs. The red LED will illuminate for 1 seconds every 8 seconds and will automatically reset itself. If the alarm is in the Hush mode and the condition that triggered the alarm persists, the alarm shall sound again to signal potential danger despite its presence in Hush Mode.The unit shall incorporate one red LED to indicate the alarm’s current status and mode of operation. The LED will indicate one of four modes: Standby Mode: LED will flash every 40-45 seconds to indicate the unit is operating correctly Alarm Mode: LED will flash every 1.5 seconds to indicate the unit is alarming and will be accompanied by the horn sounding (Model i9010CA LED will flash on for 1 second and off for 1 second) Hush Mode: LED will illuminate for 1 seconds every 8 seconds to indicate the unit is temporarily silenced Memory Set Mode: If Alarm Memory has been set, the LED will flash rapidly when the test button is pressed. The unit shall include an End of Life Alert which is indicates the alarm needs to be replaced. The unit will “chirp” once every 40-45 seconds to notify the user. The unit shall have a deactivation switch to disable it and make it safe for disposal. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72, (chapter 11 2002 edition) The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (One and two family dwellings) Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
