Description

Install Confidence:

The Kidde i5000 is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke
alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V
alkaline battery backup.

This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization
sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles
(associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric
alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible
particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than
ionization alarms.

Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization
and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help
insure maximum detection of the various types of
fire that can occur within the home.

The front-loading battery door allows user to change the
battery without removing the alarm from the mounting
bracket making battery replacement easy and convenient.
This smoke alarm is available in a 6-piece cut case with
tray for easy display as well as a 6-piece bulk pack for
contractors and property owners. This unit is a UL Listed
product with a 10-year limited warranty.

Easy Installation

• Front battery pull tab allows battery activation
without removing alarm from mounting bracket.

• Large mounting base makes mounting easier, protects
surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections.

• Pre-stripped wiring harness with easy off cap does
not require stripper tool. Tinned strands increase
conductivity and wire nut grip.

Fewer Callbacks

• Large centrally located Test/Hush

• Dust cover protects sensor from contaminates during

construction reducing nuisance alarms.

User-Friendly Features

• Easy access front loading battery door.

• Battery backup provides protection in case of power failure.

• Interconnectable with up to 24 devices (of which 18

can be initiating) including smoke, CO and heat alarms.

Architectural and Engineering
Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Model i5000 or approved equal. It

shall be powered by a 120VAC, 60Hz source along with a 9V alkaline
battery backup. The unit shall incorporate an ionization sensor with nominal
sensitivity of 0.50 to .92%/ft. The temperature operating range shall be
between 40°F and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operating range
shall be up to 85% relative humidity.

The smoke alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electri­cal box, up to a 4” octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the
alarm) shall be made with a plug-in connector. A maximum of 24 Kidde
devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The
interconnect system must not exceed the NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) limit of 18 initiating devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.
With 18 initiating devices (Smoke, heat, CO, etc), interconnected, it is still
possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and/or relay modules. The alarm
shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit
from the wall or ceiling. No additional pieces shall be required to activate
this feature.

The alarm shall include an easy access battery compartment that is
opened and closed by sliding the battery door. The 9V battery carrier will
ensure proper battery backup protection by not allowing the battery door
to close if the battery is placed in the unit incorrectly or if a battery is not
present.

The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels
at 10 feet. The unit shall include the Smart HushTM feature that silences the
unit for approximately 8 minutes if a nuisance condition occurs.

The unit shall incorporate red and green LED indicators. The green
LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence of AC power. The red LED
(located under the TEST/Hush button) has four 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 one flash per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will
continue until the air is cleared. When units are interconnected, only the red
LED of the alarm that senses the smoke or is being tested (the originating
unit) will flash. All other units in the interconnected system will sound an
alarm but their red LED’s will NOT flash. Alarm Memory: This smoke alarm
is equipped with an alarm memory, which provides a visual indication when
an alarm has been activated. The red LED will illuminate for about 1.5
seconds every 16 seconds to indicate the memory condition. Smart HushTM
Mode: The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds,
indicating the smoke alarm is in the Smart HushTM Mode.

The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA72,
and (chapter 11), The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (0ne and
two family dwellings), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).

Installation of Smoke Alarm

The smoke alarm should be installed to comply with all local codes having jurisdiction in your area,
Article 760 of the National Electric Code, and NFPA 72. Make certain all alarms are wired to a single,
continuous (non-switched) power line, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. A maxi­mum of 1000 ft. of wire can be used in the interconnect system. Use standard UL listed household
wire as required by code.
