The Kidde i9080 is a battery-powered ionization smoke alarm specifically designed for hallway installation. Its built-in safety light illuminates automatically when the alarm sounds, helping to guide occupants to safety during an emergency. The Hush feature temporarily silences nuisance alarms without removing the battery. No wiring is required. This model has been replaced by the Kidde 20SDR.
Why does the i9080 have a safety light?
The built-in safety light illuminates when the alarm sounds, providing a light source in dark hallways during an emergency. This helps occupants navigate to exits safely, which is especially valuable in the middle of the night.
Where should I install the i9080?
The i9080 is specifically designed for hallway installation. Place it in corridors between bedrooms and exits. Per NFPA 72, alarms should also be installed in every bedroom and on every level of the home.
Does the i9080 have an interconnect feature?
No. The i9080 is a standalone battery-powered alarm with no hardwired or wireless interconnect. For interconnected whole-home protection, consider a hardwired Kidde model.
How do I test the i9080?
Press the test button to verify the alarm electronics, horn, and battery are functioning properly. Kidde recommends monthly testing. Also ensure the safety light activates during the test.
What replaced the i9080?
The i9080 has been replaced by the Kidde 20SDR with DETECT-line improved sensing. For a hallway alarm with safety light, consider the P3010H Worry-Free model or the 20SDR combined with a separate egress light.
