Kidde 9V Battery Smoke Detector for Home

The Kidde Smoke Detector, model i9030, is a 9V battery-operated smoke alarm that employs advanced ionization sensor technology. This design enables the detector to identify invisible particles produced by flaming fires more rapidly than traditional photoelectric alarms. Upon detecting smoke or fire, the unit emits a loud 85-decibel alarm to alert occupants of potential danger.

Powered by a reliable 9-volt alkaline battery, the Kidde Smoke Detector ensures straightforward installation without the need for any wiring. This feature not only facilitates quick setup but also guarantees ongoing functionality during power outages. A red LED light on the device serves as an indicator, signaling when smoke or fire is present. Additionally, the presence of a test-hush button allows users to easily check the operational status of the battery and to silence any nuisance alarms triggered by cooking fumes or bathroom steam.

A notable safety feature of the Kidde Smoke Detector is its chirping alert, which signals when the battery needs replacement. For optimal protection against fire and harmful gases, it is recommended to install both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas. This safety measure is crucial, given that 70% of all fire-related deaths occur in residences without functioning alarms, and reports indicate that nearly a quarter of smoke alarms involved in fires were non-operational.

This model is designed with a tamper-resistant feature, adding an extra layer of security. Furthermore, it is essential to position UL-listed smoke alarms throughout your home—on every floor, in hallways, inside bedrooms, and near sleeping areas. To maintain effectiveness, remember to replace smoke detectors every 10 years.

The ionization sensing technology of the Kidde Smoke Detector can identify invisible smoke particles associated with rapidly spreading flames sooner than photoelectric sensors. Research shows that both alarm types effectively detect fires, making it advisable to utilize both technologies for maximum safety in your home.

This basic ionization smoke alarm offers an affordable and user-friendly solution for detecting hazardous smoke or flames. Operational on a 9-volt alkaline battery, it provides dependable smoke and fire detection, even in situations where there is a loss of power.

With its easy installation process—no wiring necessary—this fundamental smoke detector includes an 85-decibel alarm for emergencies and a red LED indicator to confirm smoke or fire detection. The test-hush feature simplifies the process of verifying the smoke detector's functionality while also providing a means to mute false alarms stemming from cooking or steam.

For your peace of mind, the Kidde Smoke Detector is UL-listed and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty that covers the alarm itself (although it does not guarantee battery performance). The warranty period begins the moment the alarm is activated. If the activation date is unknown, it is prudent to consider it time for replacement.
