Product Details

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. 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.

Questions & Answers

Q:Will this unit work with an existing mounting bracket from a KN-COSM-IBA unit?

by|Mar 17, 2023

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Hello. No, this alarm is not a hardwired alarm and does not interconnect and does not fit onto an electric bracket. For that, you will want the hardwired I12010SCO model 21029879

by|Mar 20, 2023

Q:I have dogs, the alarms, even the tests or low batteries are traumatic to them. Have you not seen the episode on Friends where Phoebe smashes one with a hammer? How loud is the voice alert on this one.

by|Mar 2, 2023

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Hello. All of our alarms are at 85 decibels at 10 feet. They are very loud.

Q:Will this device detect co2

by|Feb 10, 2023

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Hello. No. This alarm will detect carbon MONoxide, CO, and not carbon DIoxide, Co2. Carbon monoxide is created when something burns or smolders and does not burn hot enough to change the CO into CO2. The carbon monoxide will be present in the smoke and exhaust.

Q:I installed this alarm 2 weeks ago and today it started beeping. It sounds like the battery needs to be replaced but this alarm is the one with 10 years lithium battery. No replaced need it. Could you explain what?s wrong with this? Why the beep every90s?

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Hello Lizet, Kidde will help with the chirping. This is very unusual for the alarm. First, please take the alarm to a different location in your home. Do you still hear chirping from the alarm? Please go back to where the alarm was located (without having the alarm). Do you hear chirping? (Only the alarm itself can chirp.) At Kidde we stand behind our alarms, and we have a very good variety. If the alarm was located in a chilly environment, move it to a warmer room to see if the chirping stops. For assistance, please call us at 1-800-880-6788 when you are with the alarm. We are happy to troubleshoot this issue, and we will resolve it for you.

10 years? Nope.

After 5 years had to buy 3 new ones, when it started chirping with low battery signal in bedroom, living room and kitchen. All within 2 months. Last one on Feb. 5th. Regular house, average temps of 69 F. 5 years only for the price is too expensive. Did anybody got 10 years out of them??

Hello. 10 years, yes, and they have a 10 year warranty. You didn't have to replace them. If you have issues with our alarms again, please call us at 1-800-880-6788 while onsite with the alarms before you replace them. We do stand behind our products and we are happy to troubleshoot and figure out what is going on and get an issue resolved. All we would be able to do is replace the alarms or replace them with something else like a fire extinguisher but if you still have these issue alarms, please call us with them in hand and we will see what we can do.

False alarms on a newer purchase

We purchased 2 of these in Sept 2022 with a manufacturer date of July 2022. They blink red followed by a beep which means replacement apparently. Thought they were suppose to last 10 years.

Hello. If the alarm wasn’t speaking and was chirping every 30 seconds instead of every minute then the unit has gone into an error mode as a safety feature. The unit has self-diagnostic circuits that test the alarm's sensors and electronics. Could this be an issue? We would be happy to stand behind the alarm. Call us with the alarms in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can figure out what is going on and get this resolved for you

Worst alarm ever.

Bought these for all around my house a couple years ago. As with all of these other reviews that I now see, they started going off randomly bunch of false alarms. Clean them and still going off. Press hush, re triggers in a couple seconds. Re located them... Still went off. Such a waste of money for something that's supposed to last 10 year.

Hello. Call us with those issue alarms in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can help figure out what is going on and get this resolved for you.

False Alarms.

Installed this and started to receive false alarms. I had it installed all within recommended areas. It is completely clean. Not dust at all. Just keeps sending out a ‘fire’ alarm. Had to disable Before purchasing I looked for a device with a long life and this one advertised 10 years. I would hope to have gotten more than 3-4 years from this device. Not great for the landfills.

Hello. Please call us at 1-800-880-6788 before you replace the alarm. We do stand behind our products and we are happy to troubleshoot and figure out what is going on and get an issue resolved. If tiny fine dust gets into the sensing chamber, even if you can't see it, it can set off the alarm. To clean, hold the unit by its edge and thoroughly blow through the gap on the side of the unit with compressed air (like keyboard cleaner). We recommend cleaning out all of your smoke alarms at least every 6 months to a year and at this point we would recommend cleaning out all of your other alarms as well as a preventative.

Very Disappointed

Alarm went off at 4:15 A.M. saying “FIRE” however we had NO fire, NO carbon monoxide, just a house of very tired people and a scared dog. I have always used Kidde alarms for as long as I can remember and now I need to replace the 1 that went off this morning and the same one that I have in my room! So the alarm only lasted 4 years but should have lasted 10 years. They are expensive!

Hello. Please call us at 1-800-880-6788 before you replace this alarm. We do stand behind our products and we are happy to troubleshoot and figure out what is going on and get an issue resolved. False alarms are most commonly caused by something interfering with the sensor. To clean, hold the unit by its edge and thoroughly blow through the gap on the side of the unit with compressed air (like keyboard cleaner). We recommend cleaning out all of your smoke alarms at least every 6 months to a year and at this point we would recommend cleaning out all of your other alarms as well as a preventative. Some of your alarms may be in one the locations to avoid listed in the owner's manual. This would especially include alarms being installed within 3 ft (.9m) of a forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. We recommend that alarms not be installed near vents, flues, chimneys, or fans. We recommend that alarms not be installed near doors or windows near areas directly exposed to the weather. We strongly recommend not to install these alarms in garages, attics, and crawl spaces as you will get temperatures, dust, insects, and chemicals that can cause nuisance alarms. Try cleaning out the alarms. If you have the issue again, call us with that alarm in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can get this resolved for you.

Recently purchased 6 and one in hallway just woke entire house up at 12:30 am. Beeping and stating “fire” non stop. No smoke, no fire, or anything remotely close in house. It can’t be silenced and the tab in the back to shut off w screwdriver doesn’t turn. Had to break housing and destroy unit to silence. If only I’d read reviews first! Kiddie response 1 star reviews is a joke. Blaming dust, moisture, ventilation? I’ve had smoke detectors my entire life but none have ever done this! Not normal!

Hello. To turn the screwslot on the back, you do have to break the tab on the back of the alarm first. Yes, it does sounds like some dust or debris or an insect got into the smoke chamber of the alarm and the alarm mistook the debris for smoke. False alarms are most commonly caused by something interfering with the sensor. To clean, after disconnecting the alarm and removing any removable battery: hold the unit by its edge and thoroughly blow through the gap on the side of the unit with compressed air (like keyboard cleaner). We recommend cleaning out all of your smoke alarms at least every 6 months to a year and at this point we would recommend cleaning out all of your other alarms as well as a preventative.

False Alarm Then Won’t Shut Off

I bought this unit in May 2020 and now on December 2021 had a false alarm at 3:25 am and would not shut off. First said fire then carbon monoxide then fire each time after that. I took it down and tried the disabling instructions on back. What a joke. Finally pried the top off with a screwdriver and cut the wires inside. There isn’t any dust, dirt or insect inside the unit. Just a malfunctioning produce. Read the other reviews on this piece of junk. Thanks for nothing, Kidde.

Do Not Buy!

Cliff notes: not resettable, doesn’t last. I’ve owned three of these in the last few years and all of them have failed. First one- started alarming during smokey CA fire season. Seemed legit, but there was NO WAY to turn it off or reset it. The only option you have is ”PERMANETLY DISABLE AND DISCHARGE ALARM,” as labeled on the back, at which point you have to throw your supposedly ‘10 year’ alarm away because the batteries aren’t replaceable. Second one- started alarming in the hallway when bathroom door was opened and steam from the shower set it off. Again- NO WAY to turn it off. I moved it to fresh air in front of a fan and it still wouldn’t quit. Pushing the button would only silence it for a minute and then it would start up again. Eventually I just smashed it on the ground and it finally died. Much more satisfying. Third one- in the laundry room, with the washing machine running, goes off for no reason. No smoke, no steam, no CO, but it says there’s a fire. This time I went straight to the smash it on the ground method! These were all roughly 2 years old. Do not buy. False advertising implying that they’ll last 10 years. They seem to be a ‘one and done’ type of alarm. Annoying, hassle, waste of money. Doesn’t give me much confidence that they’ll even work when they’re supposed to, and may even be worse when they ‘cry wolf’ and the family starts not taking them seriously.

Hello. We would like to help figure out why this is happening and how to avoid this. Please call us with the alarms in hand at 1-800-880-6788 and we can resolve this for you.

Alarm comes on without a fire or smoke

Kidde P3010CU bought from Home Depot in Nov 2018. Unit manufacturer date April 21, 2018. I installed & activated the unit not until Jan 2021 this year. Today March 21, 2021 (just two months) after installation, the smoke/fire alarm comes on without any fire or smoke. Don't know what to do as Home depot return date over. The ten years manufacturer warranty covers or not if the unit is with defect in just two months from opening the box & installed though the purchase date was Nov 2018. Thank you.

Hello Al,
