Photoelectric smoke sensing → Detects combustion particles
- Uses photoelectric technology to detect products of combustion from fires.
120V AC hardwired with 10-year sealed backup → Continuous operation
- Primary AC power with sealed lithium backup battery maintains alarm function during power outages.
Integrated LED strobe (177 candela minimum) → Visual alerting
- High-intensity strobe light provides visual notification alongside audible alarms.
Interconnect capability → Whole-home alerting
- When interconnected, all compatible alarms sound if one unit detects smoke.
Voice alert system → Clear hazard identification
- Audible messages (e.g., “Fire”) improve recognition of alarm type and urgency.
Hush® (silence) feature → Temporary alarm control
- Allows temporary silencing of nuisance smoke alarms when the cause is known.
Ambient light detection → Adaptive LED behavior
- Adjusts LED operation based on lighting conditions for reduced disruption at night.
End-of-life notification → Clear replacement timing
- Provides alerts when the unit reaches its 10-year service life.

- i12020CA, i12040CA, i12060CA, P12040CA, Pi2000CA, SM120X, CO120X, and other listed Kidde interconnect devices.
CO alarm systems (signal relay only)
- Can receive and transmit carbon monoxide alarm signals from interconnected CO or combination units
- Does not detect CO independently
Electrical system requirements
- Requires 120V AC circuit (non-switched) and compliant wiring installation
Does the Kidde P4010ACLEDSCA detect carbon monoxide?
No. This unit does not detect CO, but it can relay CO alarm signals from interconnected compatible devices.
Will the alarm work during a power outage?
Yes. The smoke alarm function is supported by a sealed lithium backup battery during AC power loss, but the strobe light requires AC power.
Can multiple units be connected together?
Yes. The Kidde P4010ACLEDSCA smoke alarm supports hardwired interconnection so all connected units alarm simultaneously.
How long does the unit last?
The device is designed for a 10-year service life and provides end-of-life alerts when replacement is required.
