Key features
- 177-candela Cree LED strobe — Low-profile, high-efficiency strobe light engineered for residential visual alarm compliance.
- Photoelectric smoke sensing — Advanced optical sensing chamber optimized for detecting smoldering fires while minimizing nuisance false alarms.
- Voice announcement system — Vocal warning announces “Fire! Feu!” alongside the 85 dB audible alarm pattern.
- 10-year sealed backup battery — Integrated lithium battery maintains smoke detection throughout electrical power disruptions without battery replacements.
- Synchronized hardwire interconnect — Connects with up to 24 Kidde devices, synchronizing flash rates across all connected strobe units on the circuit.
- Smart hush button — Instantly quiets cooking-related nuisance alerts for approximately 9 minutes.
Visual alarm synchronization
On hardwired circuits with multiple P4010 strobe units, the devices synchronize their flashing within 20 seconds of alarm initiation. If interconnected with a compatible Kidde combination smoke/CO alarm, the strobe automatically adapts its visual output, flashing a temporal 3 pattern for smoke or a temporal 4 pattern for carbon monoxide.

Before you buy
- Engineered for direct connection to 120V AC building wiring; requires standard junction box mounting.
- This unit is a dedicated smoke alarm and does not detect carbon monoxide independently (it responds to CO signals only when interconnected with an initiating Kidde CO alarm).
- The strobe light operates on 120V AC building power; battery backup supports audible smoke alarm operation during power outages.
- Mounting bracket engagement automatically powers and activates the sealed lithium battery.

Frequently asked questions
Does the P4010ACLEDSCA detect carbon monoxide?
No. This model is a dedicated smoke alarm. However, if interconnected with a compatible Kidde CO alarm, it will sound and flash in temporal 4 pattern when carbon monoxide is detected elsewhere on the network.
What is the brightness rating of the strobe light?
The unit features an integrated 177-candela Cree LED strobe light designed to satisfy residential visual signaling standards.
Does this alarm require annual 9V battery changes?
No. It includes a factory-sealed 3V lithium power supply that provides backup power across the full 10-year life of the unit.
How does the strobe behave during cooking smoke?
Pressing the Hush button silences the horn and strobe for approximately 9 minutes, allowing ventilation of transient cooking fumes.
Can this alarm replace older Kidde hardwired smoke alarms?
Yes. It connects to standard 120V AC wiring and is compatible with modern Kidde interconnect wiring harnesses.
What voice alerts are emitted by this unit?
The unit vocalizes “Fire! Feu!” in sequence with temporal 3 alarm horn tones during smoke events.
What mounting bracket comes with the alarm?
It includes a universal twist-on mounting bracket compatible with standard residential electrical junction boxes.
How do I test the alarm after installation?
Press and hold the Test/Hush button for two seconds. The alarm will sound its temporal horn, flash the strobe, and announce its voice alert.
What temperature range is suitable for operation?
The alarm operates reliably in conditioned environments between 4.4 °C and 37.8 °C (40 °F to 100 °F).
What Canadian standard applies to this product?
The unit is tested and listed to CAN/ULC-S531 for residential smoke alarms.
