USI 3-in-1 Hardwired Smoke, Fire & Carbon Monoxide Smart Alarm with 10 Year Tamper-Proof Sealed Battery (MIC1509S)

Reviewed: 02/05/2020 by Tom Cole

Nice looking units. Come with very nice paint shield installed that is easy to remove. Only negative is I liked the mounting base on my older USI smoke detectors better. They were stronger and deflected less when tightened and the screws from standard 4 octagon box fit the plate better.

Very easy to install. We had to replace the mounting plate by partially unscrewing 2 screws that did not have to be entirely removed. Next, turn the old plate and replace with the new mounting plate. Screw in the new plate, then plug in and attach the new unit.

I am just installing these today so I cannot comment on false alarms or performance issues. However, I found it easy to replace my old USI hardwired units with the new units - the old and new use the same connector, so I only needed to install the new mounting plates.

It's only been a couple of weeks since I've had it installed, but everything has been good so far. I chose this model because it was compatible with the previous ones locking mechanism. The built-in battery was attractive - I just hope it lasts 10 years as advertised. 10 years without that low-battery chirping!

Direct Replacement of 1990s Smoke Detector

Reviewed: 09/05/2019 by Michael Bohun

Replaced two hard-wired vintage 1990 smoke directors with two new USI 3-in-1 hardwired smoke, fire and CO Alarms. All hardware was included with 3-wire plug to detector. Detectors work in tandem if one sounds on main floor the one in the basement also sounds! The 10 year battery makes for worry free operation plus it has 3-in-1 detection.

Easy change over

Needed to replace 10 year old USI-7795 alarms when 2 of them would sound a double beep every couple of minutes. Realizing they should be replaced, the MIC 1509S was an easy change to just plug-in after changing the mounting bracket. All new an working as designed, good for 10 more years.

Very easy replacement of old alarm

Reviewed: 06/25/2019 by Joe Bass

Our 12 year old combination smoke and carbon dioxide detector finally quit working as evidenced by a repetitive chirping even after installing a new 9 volt battery so I went on a search for a compatible replacement. After googling my old unit it led me to USI's website where it listed this new unit for consideration. I was most concerned about minimizing the wiring changes needed since I would be perched on a 12 foot ladder and this unit used the exact same wiring harness which meant all I had to do was replace the plastic base that came with the unit and plug in the wiring connector. Working like a charm!

When one of my smoke & co2 detectors needed to be replaced, I went online on the USI website. The model I had was no longer available. So I called and got help.

It's like, you got to lose to win. Or is it the other way around. My daughter bought her first townhouse. It had 5 USI 1204 units which were engraved that their lifetime expired in 1999. Well no sense in replacing the batteries. So I ordered a 5 unit box of the MIC1509S. They went in very easy didn't have to do any major surgery. Now do I have to wait for a fire or a CO event to rate these. Sorta hope that it doesn't come to this.
