Description
The P4010DCS-W is a 10-year, sealed battery smoke alarm that features
supervised wire-free interconnect capability and provides enhanced
intelligibility for users. The voice warning feature accompanies the 85dB
tone during an alarm event, and helps reduce confusion with verbal
announcements such as “Replace alarm” at end of alarm life, and “Hush
mode activated” when a nuisance alarm is silenced. The three color LED
ring helps users quickly determine standby, alarm, or error mode of the
alarm.
Kidde P4010 Series Alarms contain 10-year tamper proof batteries
that eliminate the need for battery replacement, and ends worry over
unauthorized removal. Users are further shielded from late night battery
chirps by the unit’s Ambient Light Sensing feature, which establishes a day/
night cycle and prevents alarm chirping in dark conditions.
Wire-Free Interconnect triggers each connected alarm in the home to sound
once smoke is detected, which can provide more time to react. The National
Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) has required smoke alarms in new
homes to be interconnected since 1989, which traditionally involves running
wiring to each alarm. Older and remodeled homes can now be updated to
current standards without having to run any wiring to each alarm. Existing
networks of interconnected alarms can be expanded with use of a single AC
Wire-Free Alarm and additional compatible DC Wire-Free alarms.
Additional benefits and features are available when used in conjunction
with the Kidde RemoteLync Bridge, which connects P4010 Wire-Free
alarms via your home’s Wi-Fi to your smart device. Additional information
such as battery life and sensor health status are available from each
assigned room location. Weather alerts, and intruder alerts (when used
with the Kidde RemoteLync camera), can be sent to each connected alarm,
creating an easy to install fire – security – weather – warning system from
one network of devices.
Features and Benefits
Supervised Wire-Free Interconnect: Proprietary radio signal joins multiple
alarms together, so when one alarm sounds they all sound. User is alerted if
an alarm loses connection to the network.
Sealed-in Lithium Battery: No battery replacement required over the 10 year
life of the alarm. Eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized
deactivation of alarm.
Voice Notifications: Unit verbally announces “Fire!” and other alerts such
as “Replace Alarm,” which helps the user better understand current status
of the unit.
Easy to Install: Simply turn the switch on the back of unit or mount to
bracket to activate the alarm. Multiple units can be interconnected with
push of one button.
Photoelectric Sensor: Smoke alarm contains advanced photoelectric
sensor that may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires)
sooner than ionization alarms.
Ambient Light Sensing: Establishes Day/Night cycle and prevents
chirping during the night until the next Day cycle begins.
Alarm Locate Feature: Quickly find initiating alarm by silencing other
alarms in the network.
Test / Hush® Button: Tests alarm circuitry and activates Hush® feature
to temporarily silence nuisance alarms for up to 10 minutes. End of Unit
Life and Network Error chirps can also be silenced.
End of Unit Life Warning: Alerts user the alarm is in need of replacement.
Compatible with RemoteLync Bridge: Connect to the Kidde app for
additional features and benefits.

Smoke Alarm with Wire-Free Interconnect
Model P4010DCS-W
Architectural and Engineering
Specifications
The smoke alarm model shall be P4010DCS-W or approved equal and is
powered by non-replaceable lithium metal batteries with 10-year life.
The lithium batteries shall be sealed in the unit to prevent removal and/or
tampering. The unit shall incorporate a photoelectric sensor.
The smoke alarm can be installed on the surface of any wall or ceiling
following the UL/Manufacturer’s approved placement guidelines. The
alarm shall incorporate an activation switch that can be engaged with
the included tool or screwdriver to power on the alarm at startup, and
deactivate the alarm at end of alarm life.
The P4010DCS-W shall include a test button that will simulate a fire
condition and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the
unit’s electronics to ensure proper operation.
The unit shall have audible methods for warning of smoke or fire danger:
a piezoelectric horn, rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet, and a voice warning.
In alarm, the horn will sound in the repetitive manner – three long beeps,
a 1.5 second pause, three long beeps, repeating. In between, the unit
will announce a voice warning, “Fire!” The red LED ring will flash in
conjunction with the alarm sound.
The unit shall incorporate wireless alarm interconnect capability, whereas
when one interconnected unit sounds an alarm, all other compatible
wireless units in the wireless alarm network will alarm. The maximum
distance between wireless interconnect models is greater than 300 feet
in open air. The alarm interconnect shall be supervised, where an audible
and visual indication is given if the alarm loses connection to other units
in the network.
A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected in a
multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system should not
exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms
total (smoke, CO, Smoke/ CO Combination, heat, etc.). With 18 alarms
interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote
signaling devices and / or relay modules.
The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, NFPA 72, The
State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (One and two family dwellings),
Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The alarm shall be UL Listed and shall include a 10-year manufacturer’s
limited warranty.

Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure 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.
