Battery Powered Photoelectric Smoke Alarm

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The smoke alarm shall be Kidde Model PE9 or approved equal. It shall be powered by a 9V battery. The unit shall incorporate an photoelectric sensor with nominal sensitivity of 2.06%/ft. The tem- perature operation range shall be between 40°F and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operation range shall be 5% - 95% relative humidity.

The unit shall provide optional tamper resistance that helps deter removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling. The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the presence of smoke and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s electronics, battery and horn to ensure proper operation. The unit shall include a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85dB at 10 feet. The unit shall also include a low battery warning utilizing a brief alarm chirp every 30-40 seconds along brief flashed from the safety light for a minimum of seven (7) days.

PE9 specifications

The Kidde PE9 is a premium smoke and carbon monoxide alarm designed for both residential and commercial applications. Equipped with an array of advanced features, this device ensures the safety and well-being of occupants by providing reliable early warning in the event of fire or gas leaks.

One of the standout features of the Kidde PE9 is its dual sensing technology. It employs both optical and ionization sensing capabilities, which enhances its ability to detect a variety of fire types. The optical sensor is particularly effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires, while the ionization sensor is designed for quick detection of fast-flaming fires. This combination ensures a comprehensive coverage against different fire behaviors.

In addition to fire detection, the Kidde PE9 includes a carbon monoxide sensor that continuously monitors air quality. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be lethal at high levels, hence the importance of this feature. The alarm is designed to emit a loud, clear warning signal when carbon monoxide levels reach dangerous thresholds, ensuring occupants have ample time to evacuate.

The Kidde PE9 also boasts a sleek and compact design, allowing it to fit seamlessly into various home decors without being obtrusive. Its user-friendly interface includes a single test/reset button, making it easy for users to check functionality and reset the alarm when necessary.

Another significant characteristic of the Kidde PE9 is its battery backup feature that ensures continuous operation even during power outages. It typically operates on long-lasting batteries, which need periodic replacement but provide peace of mind during emergencies.

For those concerned about proper maintenance, the Kidde PE9 is equipped with a helpful voice alert system that announces the type of hazard detected, guiding residents to take appropriate action. Moreover, the unit has a simple installation process that requires no specialized tools, making it accessible for the average DIY enthusiast.

Overall, the Kidde PE9 represents a fusion of cutting-edge technology and user-centric design, delivering high-performance safety solutions to homes and businesses alike. Its comprehensive detection capabilities, sleek aesthetic, and reliable operation underscore its reputation as a leader in the realm of smoke and carbon monoxide detection, making it an essential addition to any safety-conscious environment.
