1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms.
Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually far-
thest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate
additional alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3).
• 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 sleeping room.
• 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.
0475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 20475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 2 2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM

• 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 loca-
tions 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” (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).
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hall-
way or large room if the hallway or room
is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large
rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended
for every 500 square feet of floor space.
• In homes that are not well insulated,
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 pre-
vent the smoke from reaching an alarm
mounted on the ceiling. If you are not
sure about the insulation in your home,
or if you notice that the outer walls and
ceiling are either hot or cold, install the
alarm on an inside wall. In such homes,
install the smoke alarm 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).
• 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 great-
er than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) hori-
zontally 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 2).
• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on
the highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceil-
ing within 12” (305mm) vertically down from the highest point (see
figure 4).
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 bar-
rier 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 sleeping 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 automobile.
• 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; this should also include
electrical boxes exposed to these environments.
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure 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 follow-
ing: 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
0475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 40475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 4 2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM

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 pho-
toelectric 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 suit-
able for that purpose.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16”
drill bit for anchor holes).
4.Battery installation instructions are provided on the inside of the
battery door.
To ensure proper installation of the smoke alarm battery, follow
the instructions.
5.When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger
down into the battery compartment and install the battery (see
figure 5).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD
DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY,
THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND THE UNIT WILL
NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
6.Install the alarm on the trim ring and rotate the alarm in the
direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets
into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment).
TAMPER RESIST FEATURE: To make your smoke alarm tamper
resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the
tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square
holes in the trim ring (see figure 6). When the posts are broken
off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the
mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the trim ring until you
hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on
the trim ring. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter chil-
dren and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. NOTE:
To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press
down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the
trim ring (see figure 6).
After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down
the test button for at least 5 seconds. This should sound the alarm.

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating 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.
4. OPERATION AND TESTING
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 10
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 immediately and the red LED will flash every 10 seconds
for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a
temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automati-
cally reset after approximately 10 minutes, and sound the alarm if
smoke is still present. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
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. The red LED is located under the test button and has
several modes of operation.
Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 45
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 (once every
second). The rapid flashing LED
and temporal alarm will continue
until the air is cleared.
Hush Condition: The red LED will flash every 10 seconds
as long as the alarm is in Hush mode.
Low Battery Condition: The red LED flash will be accompanied
by an audible chirp. Replace the battery
when this condition occurs.
SMOKE SENSING CHAMBER OPERATION: This alarm will “chirp”
if any of the components in the smoke sensing chamber fail. This
chirp will occur between the flashes of the red LED indicator light.
(If the chirp occurs at the same time as the red LED flash, see sec-
tion 6 for low battery information).
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 the electronic circuitry and horn and battery 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 gener-
ated 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.
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.
The model PI9010 has a “HUSH” control that is extremely use-
ful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For
more information refer to section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.
6. MAINTENANCE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If tamper resist feature has been used, refer to TAMPER RESIST
FEATURE 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 4).
The Model PI9010 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V alkaline bat-
tery (lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should
last for one year under normal operating conditions. This alarm
has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to
“chirp” approximately every 45 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.
Alkaline Type: ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604,
MX1604; GOLD PEAK 1604A; PANASONIC
6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI, 6AM6X, and
6LR61(GA)

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
outlined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the inte-
rior 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 clean-
ing 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 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
limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photo-
electric 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. For maximum protection, Kidde recom-
mends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type,
in good condition and installed properly.
0475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 100475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 10 2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM

• 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 batter-
ies 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
policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insur-
ance to protect their lives and property.
8. GOOD SAFETY HABITS
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least
two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows
may need a rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing
everyone what to do in case of fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if
a fire occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and
train them to leave your home when they hear it.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills
at night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake
when it sounds. They must wake up in order to execute the
escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to test your plan
before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your chil-
dren. It is important they know what to do.
0475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 110475-7208-00(820-0895-EN)_R1.indd 11 2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM2009.12.9 10:23:11 AM

• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home
and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a
fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals
in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide
assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm
sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating
the area unassisted.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
• Alert small children in the home.
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so
don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its
surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks,
don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the
inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it
slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly
through a cloth, wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure
everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from
yours!
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all
right to do so.
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to
protect against fire as noted by the NFPA and UL. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
d) fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire;
for example, when a person’s clothes catch fire while cooking
e) fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the
detector due to a closed door or other obstruction
f) incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an
occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly located
detectors

9. NRC INFORMATION
The ionization portion of this smoke alarm uses a very small
amount of a radioactive element in the sensing chamber to enable
detection of visible and invisible combustion products. The radio-
active element is safely contained in the chamber and requires no
adjustments or maintenance. This smoke alarm meets or exceeds
all government standards. It is manufactured and distributed under
license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the
following information:
Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes,
or standards for the specified occupancy, approved single- and
multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows: (1) In
all sleeping rooms Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be required
in sleeping rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling units.
(2) Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of
the sleeping rooms. (3) On each level of the dwelling unit, includ-
ing basements Exception: In existing one- and two-family dwelling
units, approved smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The
required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early
warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the
areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it
is recommended that the householder consider the use of addi-
tional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The
additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room,
furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in
the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally not
recommended, as these locations occasionally experience condi-
tions that can result in improper operation.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).

of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the house-
hold as follows. A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping
area (in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or
smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitch-
ens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage
rooms, basements and attached garages”.
