with alarm sound, unit error mode, and standby
condition.
Combined Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Unique sensor algorithm detects real fires faster and
reduces cooking-related nuisance alarms.
Sealed-In Lithium Battery
Unit will continue to operate for 10 years. Alerts
user to replace alarm after 10 years of operation.
Description
The Kidde P3010K-CO is a 10-year, sealed battery, smoke
and carbon monoxide alarm 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.
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.
Industry experts (such as the NFPA), recommend that both
ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help
insure maximum detection of the various types of fires that can
occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect
invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than
photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible
fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than
ionization alarms.
Features and Benefits
• CombinationSmokeandCarbonMonoxideAlarm – Smoke
and CO sensing technologies work together to detect real fires
faster and reduce cooking-related nuisance alarms.
• Sealed-InLithiumBattery – Sealed-in lithium power supply;
no battery replacement required over the 10 year life of the
alarm. Eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized
deactivation of alarm.
• PhotoelectricSensor – Smoke alarm contains advanced
photoelectric sensor that may detect visible particles (associated
with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
• SelfActivation – Alarm automatically activates when attached
to the mounting bracket.
• AlarmMemory – Rapidly flashing LED alerts user if the alarm
has sounded since the last time the test/reset button was used.
• Test/HushButton – Tests alarm circuitry and activates Hush
features.
• SmartHush
TM
– Temporarily silences nuisance alarms for
approximately 10 minutes and will not allow hush mode unless
the unit is in alarm mode.
• LED – Red LED will blink in conjunction with the alarm sound.
• EndofLifeWarning – Alarm chirps every 30 seconds to
indicate the unit is in need of replacement.
• EndofLifeHush
®
– End of life indication can be silenced three
days at a time up to 30 days to
allow for alarm replacement at
a more convenient time.
