Product Description
The Kidde i4618 is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V 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. 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 5-year limited warranty. 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.

Currently, because I did find the breakers that control the alarms and have that turned off, we are without any smoke alarm protection. I bet this is some small, obvious thing, but I can't figure out where to get to these wires in order to rewire the new alarms. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
UPDATE:
Finally, I hired an electrician to install the alarms. Once I saw how he did the first one, I realized I could have installed them all very easily. The info I was missing was that the connectors for the old Firex had to be removed first--as you do that you will see where each of the the new wires needs to go. A ten minute operation.
You do need to change out the holder, the piece that attaches to the ceiling to which you screw in the alarm box. But that, too, swaps out without a problem.
The best part of these alarms is that you can change the batteries from the front of the box. In other words, you don't have to remove the alarm from the ceiling to get at the battery compartment in the back. The battery compartment is behind a sliding door on the front of the alarm.
