your family’s home safety plan. You can trust this product to provide

the highest quality safety protection. We know you expect nothing

less when the lives of your family are at stake.

Please take a few minutes to read this User’s Guide and save it for

future reference. Teach children how to respond to the alarms, and

that they should never play with the unit.

Ionization sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with

fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric

sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow

smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop

in different ways and are often unpredictable. Kidde recommends

that Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.

1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms.

Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest

from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate addi-

tional alarms in each sleeping area.

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act

like chimneys for smoke and heat.

•Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.

•Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

•Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are

operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the

door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located

in that room from waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and

spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in

the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.

Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid

thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details,

see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION below.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum

of 4” (10cm) from the side wall (see Figure 1).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with

the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a

maximum of 12” (30.5cm) below the ceiling. (see Figure 1).

•Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large

room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

•Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at

or within 3ft (0.9m)of the highest point (measured horizontally).

NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes

greater than 1 foot in 8 feet (.3m in 2.4m) horizontally shall be

located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row

of alarms shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the

peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see Figure 3).

FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy

efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (refer to

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and Figures 1 and 2).

In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to

present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from

the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.

This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent the smoke

from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units,

install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the

alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a maximum of 12”

(30.5cm) below the ceiling (see Figure 1).

If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if

you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold,

install the alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install

at least one alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protec-

tion, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in Figure 2.

WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER R.V.

OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE

EACH TRIP, AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID

•In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you

start your automobile.

• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceil-

ing.

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise

above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.

• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or fail-

ure to alarm.

•In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance

alarms.

• In insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the

following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom con-

taining a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating

or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high

air flow areas.

• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a

kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature

or be a photoelectric type.

• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance

alarms.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless

the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and

found suitable for that purpose.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOV-

ABLE!

1.Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by hold-

ing the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction

indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

2.To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or

wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be parallel with

the hallway when ceiling mounting or horizontal when wall

mounting.

3.After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in

Section 1, attach the mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in

Figure 4. For wall mounting see Figure 5. Place mounting plate

on the wall. Be sure the “UP FOR WALL MOUNTING “ text and

arrow are facing up. Use the screws and anchors provided to

secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for anchor holes).

When mount-

ing in a hallway,

the “A” line

should be

parallel with

the hallway.

For wall mount-

ing the “A”

line should be

horizontal and

the arrow must

be pointing up.

Figure 6).

CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD

DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY,

THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.

5. Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate

and the alarm. After installing the mounting plate, place the

alarm on the mounting plate with the alignment marks lined up.

Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on

the alarm cover (see Figure 7) until it locks in place.

6. TAMPER RESIST FEATURE:

ACTIVATING THE TAMPER RESIST FEATURE

To make your smoke alarm tamper

resistant, a tamper resist means has

been provided. To activate this feature

you must break out the tamper resist

blocks. Use a small screwdriver to

break out these blocks on the alarm

(See figure 8).

Using this feature will help deter chil-

dren and others from removing the

alarm from the mounting plate. With

the blocks removed the tamper resist

feature will be activated when the

alarm is installed on the mounting

plate.

7.REMOVING ALARM WITH TAMPER

RESIST FEATURE ACTIVE

The tamper resist tab will have to be

released in order to change the bat-

tery. Using a tool (small screwdriver)

pull the tamper resist tab away from

the mounting plate (See Figure 9).

With the tamper resist tab held away from the alarm and rotate

the alarm in the off direction.

8.After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding

down the test button for several seconds, this should sound the

alarm.

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operational once a fresh battery is

installed and testing is complete. When products of combustion

are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the

air is cleared.

INTELLIGENT HUSH®CONTROL

NOTE: MODEL 0945 DOES NOT HAVE HUSH®

HUSH®CONTROL: The HUSH®feature has the capability of tem-

porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 minutes.

This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such

as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is

desensitized by pushing the HUSH®button on the smoke alarm

cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immedi-

ately and the red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 sec-

onds for 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily

desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset

after approximately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of

combustion are still present. The HUSH®feature can be used

repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing

the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will end the

temporarily desensitized period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH®CONTROL

FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM SMART HUSHTM FEA-

TURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CER-

TAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing

red indicator light with four modes of operation:

• The LED will flash every 40-45 seconds in the standby mode sig-

nifying that the alarm is receiving power.

• The LED will flash every 1.5 seconds when the alarm is sounding.

•The LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds while the

alarm is in the temporarily desensitized mode.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it

down for a minimum of 5 seconds (or until the alarm sounds). This

will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn and batteries

are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective batteries or

other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you

could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a

structure fire.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic

or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective

alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 12).

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.

5. NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette

smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is

blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking

may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking

area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from

spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents

to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these

combustible products from the kitchen.

The 0946 has a SMART HUSHTM control that is extremely useful in a

kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more

information refer to Section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,

get out of the building and call the fire department. If no fire is

present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may

have caused the alarm.

6. MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If tamper resist feature has been used, refer to "REMOVING

ALARM WITH TAMPER RESIST FEATURE ACTIVE" in Section 3 for

removal instructions.

To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the mounting plate

by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the

cover (see Section 3, Figure 7).

This Smoke Alarm is powered by 9 volt battery (carbon Zinc, alka-

line, and Lithium batteries may be used). A fresh battery should

last for one year under normal operating conditions. Alkaline and

Lithium batteries will last longer than Carbon Zinc batteries.

This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the

alarm to “chirp” approximately every 30 - 40 seconds for a mini-

mum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the

battery when this condition occurs.

The low battery chirp will occur approximately 20 seconds after

the red LED flash.

USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE

ALARM REPLACEMENT.

Carbon Zinc Type: EVEREADY 1222; GOLD PEAK 1604S

Alkaline Type: ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604,

MX1604, GOLD PEAK 1604A ;

PANASONIC 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,

6AM6X, 6LR61(GA)

Lithium Type: ULTRALIFE U9VL-J

These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.

WARNING!! USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF

DIFFERENT BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT

ON THE SMOKE ALARM.

CLEANING YOUR ALARM

YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR

To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as out-

lined in the beginning of this section (If tamper resist feature has

been used, refer to "REMOVING ALARM WITH TAMPER RESIST

FEATURE ACTIVE" in Section 3 for removal instructions).

You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by

using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or

vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the

alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.

After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using

the test button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal

operation the alarm should be replaced.

Do not paint your alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere

with the alarms ability to detect smoke and produce sound. Never

attempt to dismantle the alarm or clean the inside, as this will void

the warranty.

7. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is

based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to

escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those

occupants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of

protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.

Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or

physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape

even when warned early enough that escape should be possible.

For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or

assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of pos-

sible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limi-

tations. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire parti-

cles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric

alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire parti-

cles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ioniza-

tion alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are often

unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that

both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.

• Abatterypoweredalarmmusthaveabatteryofthespecifiedtype,

ingoodconditionandinstalledproperly.

• A.C. powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if

the A.C. power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire or

an open fuse.

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries

and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach

the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting

in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door

or on a different floor.

• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different

floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear

the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm

should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a

home.

•Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early

warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance poli-

cy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to

protect their lives and property.
