Kidde Front-Load Battery Operated Smoke Alarm

Model number
i9070

The Kidde i9070 features a front-loading battery door that lets you change the battery without removing the alarm from its mounting bracket — a significant convenience for ceiling-mounted units. The ionization sensor detects fast-flaming fires, and the Hush feature temporarily silences nuisance alarms. No wiring is required for installation. This model has been replaced by the Kidde 20SDR.

§ FAQ

What is the advantage of a front-loading battery door?

The front-loading battery door on the i9070 lets you replace the battery without unclipping and removing the alarm from its ceiling mount. This saves time and reduces the risk of forgetting to reattach the alarm after a battery change.

What sensor does the i9070 use?

The i9070 uses an ionization sensor, which responds quickly to fast-flaming fires with invisible smoke particles. Ionization alarms are effective for detecting rapidly developing fires.

Does the i9070 support interconnect?

No. The i9070 is a standalone battery-powered alarm with no hardwired or wireless interconnect capability. For interconnected systems, consider a hardwired Kidde model.

How do I silence a false alarm on the i9070?

Press the Hush button to temporarily silence nuisance alarms from cooking or steam. The alarm will reset on its own after a few minutes if conditions return to normal.

What replaced the i9070?

The i9070 has been replaced by the Kidde 20SDR, which offers improved DETECT-line photoelectric sensing and AA battery operation.
