Kidde A, B, C, PB Owner's Manual

WARNING — This Smoke Alarm will sound a short beep when a battery is

connected. Do not use this Smoke Alarm with any external bug screens or
Smoke Alarm guards. Use of these types of devices may reduce Smoke
Alarm response time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SMOKE ALARM

• Before siting your Smoke Alarm, you must read this entire Instruction Manual.

• Site a Smoke Alarm in each room and area of your home. See section 3.

• Smoke Alarms cannot give you an early warning of fire or smoke unless you
site, use, and maintain them by following these instructions.

• You must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce
the risk of damage, injury, or death that may result from a fire.

• Your Smoke Alarm is packaged with the battery disconnected. Connect it to the
battery leads before mounting the Smoke Alarm.

• A Smoke Alarm will not work properly without a good battery inserted
correctly. The Smoke Alarm must be tested when a new battery is inserted
and every week after that.

• A Smoke Alarm that beeps about once per minute means the battery is weak,
and you need a new battery.

• A Smoke Alarm should never be used, in any case, for more than 10 years.

1. WHAT SMOKE ALARMS CAN DO:

Smoke Alarms can only HELP protect your home and family against loss
resulting from a fire. The best protection is obtained by siting Smoke Alarms
in each room, on each level, and each other area of the home. This will help
the people in the home hear and respond to the alarm sound.

Your Smoke Alarm meets or exceeds the requirements for audibility, or
loudness, set by British Standards BS5446: Part 1:2000.

WARNING — SMOKE ALARMS MAY GIVE YOU A WARNING OF FIRE AND
SMOKE, BUT ONLY IF YOU SITE, USE, AND MAINTAIN THEM IN ACCOR­DANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THEY DO NOT SENSE HEAT, FLAME,
OR GAS.

2. WHAT SMOKE ALARMS WILL NOT DO:

A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Your Smoke Alarm
needs a good battery that is installed correctly to work. A Smoke Alarm will
not work if its battery is missing, dead, or put in wrong.
A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT SENSE A FIRE WHEN THE SMOKE CANNOT
REACH THE ALARM. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, the other side of
a closed door, or any other isolated area, the Smoke Alarm may not sense
the smoke and will not give warning. If you do not have an alarm in the bed­room, and sleep with the door closed, a fire inside the bedroom may not
sound the alarm located in another room. Therefore, a Smoke Alarm must
be placed both inside and outside all bedrooms. A SMOKE ALARM WILL
NOT PROMPTLY SENSE A FIRE EXCEPT IN THE AREA OR ROOM IN WHICH
THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED. FOR EXAMPLE:

A) A SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT SENSE A FIRE ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF A
RESIDENCE OR BUILDING. A second-floor Smoke Alarm may not detect a
fire on the first floor of a building. Therefore, Smoke Alarms must be sited on
every floor or level of your home or building.

B) IF THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN THE
BEDROOMS, OR ISOLATED AREA OF THE HOUSE OR RESIDENCE, IT IS
LESS LIKELY TO WAKE UP PEOPLE SLEEPING IN THE BEDROOMS.

ALL TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS HAVE LIMITATIONS. ANY OF THE PARTS OF
THE SMOKE ALARM COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME — YOU MUST TEST YOUR
SMOKE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. NO TYPE OF
SMOKE ALARM CAN SENSE EVERY KIND OF FIRE OR SMOKE EVERY TIME.

Ionization Smoke Alarms are your best overall choice for reliability and fast
response time (NFP Research Foundation in the U.S.A. and U.S. Fire
Administration Data) since they quickly sense small invisible smoke
particles and also sense large visible smoke particles.

Photoelectric Smoke Alarms may respond faster in certain types of fires
such as slow, smoldering fires with large visible smoke particles. For
additional protection, the NFPA and the U.S.A. recommends the use of
multiple Smoke Alarms and heat detectors.

You should use both battery powered and direct wired 230 volt AC powered
Smoke Alarms. Since A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT
POWER, having alarms that work from two different power sources can give
you extra protection in case of a dead battery or a mains power failure.

Using an ionisation type Smoke Alarm in a kitchen with inadequate ventilation,
or in a high humidity area near a shower can cause false alarms. DO NOT
REMOVE YOUR BATTERY TO QUIET THE ALARM. DO NOT TAKE THE ALARM
DOWN. DO NOT SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE ALARM. IF YOU HAVE A
FALSE ALARM, TRY WAVING A TOWEL NEAR THE ALARM TO CLEAR THE
SENSING CHAMBER. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT HELP PROTECT YOU IF IT
IS NOT POWERED, OR THE UNIT IS REMOVED. An ionisation type Smoke
Alarm with a FALSE ALARM CONTROL feature or a photoelectric type Smoke
Alarm should be used to minimize these nuisance alarms.

A SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT ALWAYS WARN YOU ABOUT FIRES CAUSED
BY CARELESSNESS OR SAFETY HAZARDS LIKE SMOKING IN BED, VIOLENT
EXPLOSIONS, ESCAPING GAS, IMPROPER STORAGE OF FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS, OVER-LOADED ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, NATURAL CAUSES
SUCH AS LIGHTNING, CHILDREN PLAYING WITH MATCHES, AND ARSON.
Fire prevention is your best safeguard.

Siting Smoke Alarms may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but
SMOKE ALARMS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INSURANCE. Homeowners
and renters alike should continue to insure their lives and properties.

3. WHERE YOU SHOULD SITE SMOKE ALARMS:

It is recommended to achieve complete coverage protection by siting a
smoke alarm in every room of your home. Site smoke alarms in accordance
to all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and codes.

At a minimum, smoke alarms shall be sited outside of each separate sleep­ing area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional
storey of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl
spaces and unfinished attics. Any home requires a minimum of two smoke
alarms.

FOR BEST PROTECTION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SITE A
SMOKE ALARM IN EVERY ROOM.

In addition, it is recommended that all smoke alarms be interconnected.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WILL HELP YOU SAFELY SITE YOUR
SMOKE ALARMS:

Typical Efficiency Home (Apartment)

• Site a smoke alarm on the ceiling or
wall closest to the sleeping area. Site a
smoke alarm with False Alarm Control
in the kitchen/living area.

Typical Single Storey Home

• Site a smoke alarm on the ceiling
or wall inside each bedroom and in
the hallway outside each separate
sleeping area. If a bedroom area
hallway is more the 9m long, site a
smoke alarm at each end.

Typical Two-Storey Home

• Site a smoke alarm on the ceiling or

area. If a bedroom area hallway is
more than 9 m long, site a smoke alarm
at each end. Site a smoke alarm at the
top of a first-to-second floor stairwell.

IMPORTANT SMOKE ALARM SITING
AND EXCEPTION INFORMATION:

• Install a smoke alarm as close to the
centre of the ceiling as possible. If this
is not practical, mount no closer than 10
cm from a wall or corner. Also, if local
codes allow, site smoke alarms on
walls, between 10 and 30 cm from
ceiling/wall intersections.

• Site a minimum of two smoke alarms in
every home, not matter how small the
home. Any size home requires fitting a
minimum of two smoke alarms.

• Site a smoke alarm in each room that is
divided by a partial wall (either coming
down from the ceiling at least 20 cm or
coming up from the floor.

• Site smoke alarms on peaked, cathedral, or
gabled ceilings 1 m from the highest point
(measured horizontally).

• Site a smoke alarm in lived-in attics or attics
which house electrical equipment like furnaces,
air conditioners, or heaters.

4. WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT SITE SMOKE ALARMS:

Do not site a Smoke Alarm within close proximity of heating and
cooling supply vents or within close proximity of return or fresh
air vents. Smoke may be blown away from the Smoke Alarm by
the supply vents, or could be diffused or reduced by being divert­ed into the return air vent.

Do not Site you Smoke Alarm in an area where the temperature
may fall below 5°C, or rise above 45°C. Smoke alarms are
designed to work safely only within these temperature ranges,
and failure to alarm, improper alarms, or nuisance alarms may
result from operation outside these temperature limits.

Do not site a Smoke Alarm in a damp or very humid area such as
bathrooms with showers, where the normal humidity may rise
above 93% Relative Humidity. Above this level, moisture may con­dense inside the smoke chamber and cause wrong or false
alarms.

Do not site an ionisation Smoke Alarm in an area where particles
of combustion are normally present, such as kitchens or automo­bile garages. An ionisation type Smoke Alarm with a FALSE
ALARM CONTROL feature or a photoelectric type Smoke Alarm
should be used to minimize nuisance alarms.

Do not site a Smoke Alarm in dusty or dirty areas; SUCH AN
INSTALLATION CANNOT BE RELIED UPON. An accumulation of
dust and dirt in the sensing chamber may block the openings and
prevent an alarm, or may get inside the alarm and cause false
alarms. If a Smoke Alarm is required in such an area, vacuum it
frequently and test it according to section 6.

Do not site a Smoke Alarm in the dead air space in the corner
where the wall meets the ceiling. If in doubt as to the exact alarm
siting, for your safety, contact your local fire brigade for help in
choosing a location.

Do not site a Smoke Alarm where bugs or insects are present
before eliminating or minimizing the bug problem. Although all
Smoke Alarms built since 1986 are made to prevent bugs from
entering the detection chamber, bugs may build up on chamber
openings and prevent smoke from entering. As a result, unit
should be vacuumed frequently as explained in section 7.

Do not site a Smoke Alarm within close proximity of a fluorescent
light. Electrical noise may cause nuisance alarms.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY AND HOME SAFER
FROM FIRES:

Siting, testing, and taking care of Smoke Alarms is just one step in helping
to protect your family and home from fires. You must also reduce the
chance that fires will start in your home and increase your chances of
escaping if one does start. For your safety, at a minimum, you should do the
following to have a more effective fire safety program.

A) FOLLOW SAFETY RULES AND PREVENT HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS.

• Use smoking materials properly—never smoke in bed or when sleepy or
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

• Keep matches and other fire starters away from children.

• Store flammable materials in proper containers and never store or use
them near open flames or sparks.

• Keep electrical appliances and cords in good working condition, and do
not overload electrical circuits.

• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills clean and make
sure they are properly sited away from combustible materials.

• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from
combustible materials.

• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.

B) DEVELOP A FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN AND PRACTICE IT REGULARLY

WITH YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY, ESPECIALLY SMALL CHILDREN:

• Draw a floor plan of your home and find TWO ways to exit from each
room. There should be a way to get out of each bedroom without open­ing the door.

• Teach children what the Smoke Alarm signal means, and that they must
be ready to leave the home or residence by themselves if necessary.
Show them how to check to see if doors are hot before opening them,
how to stay close to the floor and crawl, and how to use the alternate
exit if a door is hot and should not be opened.

• Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from you house and make
sure all your children understand they should go and wait for you there
if there is a fire.

• Hold fire drills every 6 months to make sure everyone, even small
children know what to do to escape safely.

• Know where to go to call the fire brigade from outside your residence.

• Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and teach
your family how and when to use this equipment.

110-1193 English 8/3/06 12:38 PM Page 4

C) WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS A FIRE IN YOUR HOME:

After you have prepared family escape plans and practiced them with your
family, you have increased their chances of escaping safely. Review the
following rules with your children when you have fire drills so everyone will
remember them in a real smoke or fire emergency.

• Don’t panic, stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly
and remembering what you have practiced.

• Get out of the house following your planned escape route as quickly
as possible. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.

• Open doors carefully only after feeling to see if they are hot.
Do not open a door if it is hot; use an alternate escape route.

• Stay close to the floor; smoke and hot gases rise toward the ceiling.

• Keep doors and windows closed unless you open them to escape and
re-close them as you leave.

• Meet at your pre-arranged meeting place after leaving the house.

• Call the Fire Brigade as soon as possible from outside your house.
Give the address and your name.

• Never re-enter a burning or smoke filled building.
Contact your local Fire Brigade for more information on making your

home safer from fires and about preparing your family’s escape plans.

5. HOW TO SITE YOUR SMOKE ALARM:

AFTER HAVING CAREFULLY READ THE INTRODUCTION AND SECTIONS 1
THROUGH 4, YOU ARE READY TO SITE YOUR SMOKE ALARM.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:

5-1 Unlock and remove mounting bracket from Smoke Alarm by turning it

counterclockwise.

5-2 Place mounting bracket on ceiling or wall in prearranged location and
use pencil to trace two opposing hole positions for mounting screws. Drill
two 0.15 cm holes.

5-3 Use mounting screws provided for
attaching to studs or wood-work. For plaster or
plasterboard, you may wish to use screw plugs
(included) and screws.

5-4 Screw mounting bracket to surface securely.

5-5 Insert battery. (See Replacing the Battery,

section 8).

5-6 Attach Smoke Alarm to mounting bracket
by turning it counterclockwise until it snaps into
locked position. Please note: your Smoke Alarm
is designed with a safety mechanism that
prevents mounting unless a battery is inserted.
This helps assure the alarm is functional when mounted.

5-7 You have now finished siting your Smoke Alarm. For your safety,
proceed with testing described in next section.

6. WEEKLY TESTING OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM

WARNING: Never use candles, cigarettes or an open flame to test this
smoke alarm. You may set fire to the smoke alarm and your home.

6-1 TEST SMOKE ALARM WEEKLY, TO TEST, FIRMLY DEPRESS THE TEST

BUTTON ON THE COVER OF THE SMOKE ALARM FOR A FEW SECONDS.
The Smoke Alarm will sound by making a continuous loud beeping noise. On
models with an LED (light emitting diode) the indicator light under the clear
push-to-test button will blink once per second while the button is being
pushed and the alarm is sounding. The Smoke Alarm will stop sounding
when you release the button.

6-2 If your Smoke Alarm has the False Alarm Control or Safety Light feature
see Special Smoke Alarm Features (section 10) for further testing information.

6-3 IMPORTANT: Always test your Smoke Alarm upon returning from
holiday, or any other time when no one has been in your household or
residence for several days.

6-4 If a Smoke Alarm is sited in a caravan, test the Smoke Alarm after you
remove the vehicle from storage and before each trip.

WARNING: IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM DOES NOT RESPOND AS DESCRIBED
IN ANY OF THE ABOVE TESTS, CHECK THAT A GOOD BATTERY IS
PROPERLY INSTALLED. IF A GOOD BATTERY IS PROPERLY INSTALLED,
PROMPTLY REMOVE THE UNIT, REPACK IT, AND RETURN IT FOR REPAIR
OR REPLACEMENT (SEE SECTION 12).

7. TAKING CARE OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM

Your Smoke Alarm has been designed and manufactured to be as
maintenance free as possible. Here are a few simple steps you must
perform, in addition to the weekly tests described in section 6, to keep your
unit in good working order:

• The Smoke Alarm should be vacuumed monthly or more often if there is
dust, dirt, or kitchen grease that can accumulate. Use a soft brush or
wand attachment and vacuum all slots in the cover and side.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must properly clean and maintain your Smoke
Alarm, since a dirty or malfunctioning unit may fail to alarm or cause
unwanted nuisance alarms.

FIGURE 5

110-1193 English 8/3/06 12:38 PM Page 5

• If the unit is damaged or fails to operate properly, and you have checked
that a good battery is inserted correctly, follow the directions in section
12 for return. FOR YOUR SAFETY: DO NOT OPEN THE SMOKE ALARM
AND TRY TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF. While Smoke Alarms are economical
devices, they contain precision electronic components that are precise­ly calibrated. Repair must be done by the manufacturer.

8. REPLACING THE BATTERY:

The Smoke Alarm will sound beep for at least 30 days when the battery is
weak. The battery must be immediately replaced with a good fresh one. The
battery should also be changed if it does not sound an alarm when tested.

TO REPLACE THE BATTERY:

8-1 Check if the tamper resist locking pin is inserted in the Smoke Alarm
(see section 9). If so, pull the pin completely out of the Smoke Alarm using
long nose pliers.

8-2 Remove the Smoke Alarm from the mounting bracket by turning it
counterclockwise.

8-3 Replace with a fresh battery as specified below.

8-4 Check that battery connections are secure and the battery is secured in

its compartment.

8-5 Test Smoke Alarm for proper operation (see section 6). The Smoke
Alarm operates on a 9 volt (6F22) battery. The normal carbon zinc battery
operating life will be (1) one year. The normal alkaline battery operating life
will be two (2) or more years. The life of some batteries may be less.

8-6 Reinstall the unit to the mounting bracket by turning it clockwise.

WHENEVER THE BATTERY IS REPLACED, TEST THE ALARM FOR CORRECT
OPERATION BY PUSHING THE TEST BUTTON.

CAUTION – you should only use the batteries specified here or on the label

10.SPECIAL SMOKE ALARM FEATURES:

If your Smoke Alarm has one or more of these special features, read
the following:

• BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models C, PB) - The indicator light under the
Push-To-Test Button blinks about once per minute to indicate the Smoke
Alarm is receiving power.

• FALSE ALARM CONTROL (Model C) - Simply push the test button to tem­porarily silence the Smoke Alarm if a nuisance alarm occurs or to pre­vent nuisance alarms. By momentarily depressing the test button your
alarm will automatically switch to a special Reduced Sensitivity condi­tion for up to 15 minutes, after which it will reset to its full normal sensi­tivity. If a real fire occurs, however, and the quantity of smoke reaching
the Smoke Alarm is sufficiently great, the unit will sound an alarm. The
Reduced Sensitivity level is only intended to eliminate
nuisance alarms caused by light concentrations of smoke. If additional
Reduced Sensitivity time is required, push the button again. Every time
the Smoke Alarm is tested it will enter the Reduced Sensitivity
condition for up to 15 minutes and then automatically switch back to full
normal sensitivity.
