§ FAQ

Does the P4010ACS battery backup ever need replacement?

No. The P4010ACS has a 10-year sealed lithium battery backup that cannot be replaced. A voice announcement will notify you when the battery reaches end of life, at which point the entire alarm should be replaced.

What does the voice messaging system announce?

The voice messaging system on the P4010ACS announces functional messages such as Replace alarm at end of battery life and Hush mode activated when the Hush function is triggered.

What sensor does the P4010ACS use?

The P4010ACS uses a photoelectric sensor, which is effective at detecting slow-smoldering fires and produces fewer nuisance alarms from cooking compared to ionization sensors. Photoelectric sensors are widely recommended for bedrooms and areas near kitchens.

Does the P4010ACS support interconnect?

The P4010ACS as listed here does not feature interconnect. For a hardwired interconnect photoelectric model, consider the P12040 or the current DETECT-line 20SAR or 20SA10 models.

What model replaced the P4010ACS?

The P4010ACS has been replaced by the Kidde 20SA10, part of the DETECT line with enhanced photoelectric sensing, hardwired interconnect, and a 10-year sealed battery backup.
