This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It

contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see section 9).

Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compli-

ance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt

from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself.

Refer to the instructions in section 12 for service.

Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire 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 unpre-

dictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionization and

Photoelectric alarms be installed.

WARNING! BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE UNLESS BATTERY IS PRESENT.

REMOVAL OF BATTERY WILL RENDER THE SMOKE ALARM INOPERATIVE.

IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND KEEP

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 additional alarms in each sleeping area.

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:30 AM Page 2

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chim-

neys 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 horizon-

tally. 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 barri-

ers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTAL-

LATION below.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm)

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” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm)

below the ceiling (see figure 1).

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:30 AM Page 3

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

hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3 ft

(0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: “Smoke

alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) hor-

izontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A

row of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the peak of

the ceiling measured horizontally” (see 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 LOCA-

TIONS and FIGURES 1 and 2).

In 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” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) 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 bed-

rooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in figure 2.

WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV 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 auto-

mobile.

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

• 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 failure to alarm.

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

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:30 AM Page 4

• 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 containing 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

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!

CAUTION: WHEN WALL MOUNTING: UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED SO

THAT THE BATTERY BOX FACES DOWN! (SEE FIGURE 4). INCORRECT

ORIENTATION OF WALL MOUNTED SMOKE ALARMS WILL DECREASE

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS.

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the

mounting plate and twisting in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on

the alarm cover.

2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in section 1,

attach the mounting plate as shown in figure 5. Use the screws and anchors

provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit

for anchor holes). To ensure aesthetic alignment of the

alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the

mounting bracket should be parallel with the hallway

when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.

3. Make sure that the mounting screws are positioned in

the small ends of the keyholes before tightening the

screws.

4. Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the

alarm in the direction indicated by the "ON" arrow on the cover until the alarm

ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment).

NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

When wall mounting, make sure the battery box is at the bottom of the unit

(see figure 5).

FIGURE 4

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:30 AM Page 5

5. Be sure the battery is installed correctly and the battery compartment is

closed completely. See section 6 for battery installation instructions.

CAUTION: THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT WILL NOT CLOSE WITHOUT A

BATTERY INSTALLED PROPERLY. REMOVAL OF THE BATTERY WILL REN-

DER THE ALARM INOPERATIVE.

6. Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test Button for a min-

imun of 5 seconds.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand

an arms length away from the unit when testing.

TAMPER RESIST FEATURE

Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature

This alarm has a battery carrier tamper resist feature, which helps prevent the

battery carrier from being opened. This feature helps prevent the removal of the

battery from this device (which will render the device inoperative).

To activate the battery carrier tamper resist feature,

remove the unit from the trim plate and locate the

small cut-out in the middle of the product label on the

back of the unit. With a small screwdriver, or similar

tool, slide the switch towards the top of the label (see

figure 6). The tamper resist feature is now active and

the battery carrier can not be opened until the tamper

resist feature is deactivated.

NOTE: Before activating the battery carrier tamper resist

feature, make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that the battery

carrier is properly closed. If the battery carrier tamper resist feature is activated

while the battery carrier is open, the battery carrier will not close and the unit

will be inoperable.

When

mounting in

a hallway,

the “A” line

should be

parallel with

the hallway.

When wall mounting,

the “A” line should be

horizontal.

To deactivate the battery carrier tamper resist, in order to change the smoke

alarm battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate, and locate the small

cut-out in the middle of the product label. Using a screwdriver, or similar tool,

slide the switch towards the bottom of the product label. The battery carrier can

now be opened and the battery changed.

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are installed and

testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber senses products

of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sens-

ing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

Hush®CONTROL: The Hush® feature has the capability of temporarily desensi-

tizing the alarm circuit for approximately 7 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 “chirp” every 30-40 seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indi-

cates that the alarm is in a desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will auto-

matically reset after approximately 7 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 button

on the alarm will end the Hush®period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE Hush®CONTROL FEATURE

AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH®FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE

SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

LED INDICATOR: This smoke alarm is equipped with a red LED indicator with

two modes of operation.

Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that

the smoke alarm is operating properly.

Alarm Condition: When the alarm senses products of combustion and goes

into alarm, the red LED will flash rapidly (one flash per

second). The rapid flashing LED and pulsating alarm will

continue until the air is cleared.

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

minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry,

horn and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, check the fuse or circuit

breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit. If the alarm still does not sound,

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:31 AM Page 7

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).

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 generat-

ed 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.

Model 0976 has a Hush®button 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 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

ALARM REMOVAL

To remove the alarm from the trim ring, rotate the alarm counter clockwise in

the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

Note: If battery carrier tamper resist feature has been activated it will need to

be deactivated in order to change the battery. Refer to section 3 “Battery Carrier

Tamper Resist Feature” for instructions.

To replace or install the batteries press down on the battery carrier and then

release to allow the carrier to pop open. The battery can then be pulled out of

the carrier. When installing a new battery into the carrier, make sure the battery

terminals are exposed and that the polarity matches the markings printed on the

battery carrier. Completely press the battery carrier down into the alarm and

release, the battery carrier will lock into the closed position.

0976-7202-02-en.qxd 1970.1.14 6:31 AM Page 8

A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the battery carrier from

closing and result in improper alarm operation.

This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon zinc battery (alkaline and lithium batteries

may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operat-

ing conditions.

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

“chirp” approximately every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days

when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.

USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM

REPLACEMENT.

(These batteries are available at many local retail stores).

Carbon-zinc type: EVEREADY 216 OR 1222; GOLD PEAK 1604P OR 1604S

Alkaline type: ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604 OR MX1604;

GOLD PEAK 1604A PANASONIC 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,

6AM6X, AND 6LR61 (GA)

Lithium type: ULTRALIFE U9VL-J

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!

NOTE: IF AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT THE ALARM CONTINUES TO

CHIRP, PUSH THE TEST BUTTON. THE HUSH®FEATURE MAY HAVE BEEN

ACTIVATED ACCIDENTLY WHILE CHANGING THE BATTERY AND PUSHING

THE TEST BUTTON WILL END THE HUSH®CYCLE.

WARNING! BE SURE TO FOLLOW BATTERY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRINTED ON THE BACK OF THE ALARM AND 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 outlined in the

beginning of this section. 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 out-

side 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.

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 poten-

tially 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 possible fires at a

reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization sensing

alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires)

sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visi-

ble fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization

alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable. For

maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionization and

Photoelectric alarms be installed.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good con-

dition and installed properly.

• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if the AC 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.
