SINGLE STATION

SMOKE ALARM

For alarm models: 0945CA and 0946CA

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 unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde

recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric

alarms be installed.

Models 0945CA and 0946CA are designed to detect

products of combustion using the ionization technique.

They contain 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a

radioactive material. Distributed under U.S. NRC License

No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance 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 the Warranty section for service.

Installation

Recommended Locations

• 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 (Image 1A).

• 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 (Image

1B).

• 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

alarmlocated outside from waking the sleeper.

•Smoke,heat, and combustion products rise to the

ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke

alarm on the ceiling in the centre of the room places it

closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is

preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a

minimum of 10 cm (4") from the side wall (Image 2A).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside

wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10

cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the

ceiling (Image 2A).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway

or large room if the hallway or room is more than 9.1 m

(30') long.

Installation

• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral

ceilings at or within 0.9 m (3') of the highest point

(measured horizontally). NFPA Standard 72 states: “Smoke

alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 0.3 m in

2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be located on the

high side of the room.” NFPA Standard 72 states: “A row of

detectors shall be spaced and located within 0.9 m (3') of

the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (Image 2B).

TOTAL HOME PROTECTION

WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or

mobile home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip

and at least once a week during use.

Locations to Avoid

• Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The

door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains 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.

• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects

will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the

sensor to accurately detect conditions.

• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame

ceilings or gabled roofs. (Less than 10 cm (4") from the

peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.)

• Install at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent

lights as electronic noise maycause nuisance alarms.

• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively

dusty,dirty or greasy areas. Dust particles maycause

nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.

• Extreme temperatures may effect the sensitivity of the

alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is

colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F),

such as garages and unfinished attics.

• Do not install in areas where the relativehumidity (RH)

is greater than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture

or steam, can cause nuisance alarms.

• Avoid placing smoke alarms in kitchen areas. Normal

cooking maycause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm

is desired, it should have an alarm silencer feature or

be a photoelectric type.

• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are

present when you startyour automobile.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards

unless the combination (alarmand guard) has been

evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Mounting

CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!

• Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by

holding the plate and twisting the alarm in the direction

indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

• After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as

described previously, hold the mounting plate against

the selected installation location (wall or ceiling) and

mark the centre of the holes with a pencil. To ensure

aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or

wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be

parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or

horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A and 3B). Drill

ahole through the pencil marks and use the enclosed

screws and anchors to secure the mounting plate. Use

a3/16" drill bit for the screw anchor holes.

• Press the batteryreminder tab down into the battery

compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).

CAUTION: If the battery reminder tab is not held down in the

battery compartment by the battery, the unit will not attach to the

mounting plate.

• Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the

mounting plate and the alarm. After installing the

mounting plate,place the alarmonto the mounting plate,

making sure the alignment marks are lined up. Twist the

Installation

Alarm Tamper-Resist Feature

• To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a tamper

resist means has been provided. To activate this

feature you must break out the tamper-resist blocks on

the mounting plate (Image 4A). Use a small

screwdriver.

• Using this feature will help deter children and others from

removing the alarm from the mounting plate. With the

blocks removed, the tamper-resist feature will be

activated when the alarm is installed on the mounting

plate.

• The tamper-resist tab will have to be released in order

to change the battery. Using a tool (small screwdriver)

push the tab away from the mounting plate (Image 4B)

and rotate the alarm in the “OFF” direction.

• After installation, test the alarm by depressing and

holding down the Test button for several seconds. This

should sound the alarm.
