The Kidde P3010CU is a 10-year, sealed battery, smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with a voice warning system that features photoelectric and electrochemical sensing technology with Smart Hush feature. This combination alarm combines the detection capabilities of a photoelectric sensor with that of an electrochemical sensor, which is used to detect CO. When either sensor notices a potential hazard, it will communicate with the other. Depending on what is detected, the alarm will adjust its smoke sensitivity in order to better discriminate between a real hazard and a false one. This constant communication enhances the alarm’s overall performance and significantly reduces the potential for a nuisance alarm. Show The voice warning system announces “Fire”, or “Warning, Carbon Monoxide” to help eliminate any confusion and clearly warn you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger. The sealed in lithium battery will power the unit for the entirety of its 10 year life, eliminating the need for battery replacement and worry about unauthorized battery removal. The alarm provides continuous protection from smoke and carbon monoxide, even during power outages. The alarm will automatically activate when it is attached to the mounting bracket; there are no pull-tabs, no switches, everything is automatic. At the end of alarm life, the unit will chirp, indicating the alarm is in need of replacement. The customer can use a simple tool such as a screwdriver to deactivate the unit, stopping the chirp and making it safe for disposal.
Technical Specifications
Architectural and Engineering SpecificationsThe combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm shall be Kidde model number P3010CU or approved equal. It shall be powered by a non-replaceable lithium battery with a 10-year life. The lithium battery shall be sealed in the unit to prevent removal and/or tampering. The unit shall incorporate a photoelectric smoke sensor and an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor. The CO sensor shall be of a fuel cell design and provide accuracy of +/- 20% + 15 PPM. The temperature operating range shall be between 40ºF and 100ºF (4ºC and 38ºC) and the humidity operating range shall be 10%-95% non-condensing relative humidity.
 Should I buy a smoke detector with a 10At the end of ten years, the smoke alarms will give an end-of-life warning letting you know to replace the alarm. Benefits of owning and installing a 10-year sealed battery alarm in your home include: No need to remember to change batteries every 6 months. Eliminate late night, low-battery chirps.
Are smoke detectors with lithium batteries safe?Lithium 9Vs aren't recommended for smoke detectors unless you follow a strict battery replacement schedule. Those batteries maintain a high voltage until the end of their usable life, so they provide a much shorter "low battery" warning to alert you that it's time to swap in a fresh one.
How long does a 10For 10-year lithium-powered smoke alarms, you won't need to replace the battery. Instead, replace the entire alarm after 10 years from the manufacture date on the back of the alarm.
How long do lithium batteries last in smoke detectors?Yes, they do. If your smoke alarm uses a lithium battery, it is inbuilt into the alarm and cannot be replaced. The entire unit needs to be replaced every 10 years. The batteries in these alarms are designed to last the life of the smoke alarm, in which case the battery will have served its purpose after 10 years.
