Replacing a Kidde 3-in-1 LED Smoke and CO1 detector. Unboxing, testing, installation and review. 

You are very welcome

No problem

Photoelectric Elevators has one. Hope he will do it soon. Guaranteed he’ll do it soon

It's pure hell, like strobe lightning blinding you. My daughter got disoriented by the strobe light. Model number on mine, came with the house is P4010ACLEDSCOCA the piercing was so loud my ears were ringing all day, went off at 3 am for no reason. Removing them and installing a non strobe smoke alarm that does not deafen or blind you. I had a headache the entire day from it.

I have been purely traumatized from the alarms in my apartment for the last three months. The strobe may be helpful for deaf people but it just extremely hurts me to have to turn them off due to constant false alarms I’ve been experiencing. The strobe light leaves ‘sun spots’ in my vision for up to 20 minutes after disabling the false alarms, and I have contacted my landlord dozens of times to fix this issue, I am not sure whether it is faulty electrical work or the actual alarms themselves as I keep reading about so many other people having this same issue with false alarms in the middle of the night. Mine have been constantly triggered for no reason and also from merely boiling some water on my stove with the window open. If anyone has any suggestions it would be highly appreciated!

holy shit, at 2:30 AM one morning I was trying to sleep (I had the lights off) when it suddenly appeared that someone had turned on the lights, I looked at my door at no one was there. The alarm started a moment after, I quickly got up as I i knew there was no fire as I has recently left my room moments prior and smelt no smoke, I ran to my parents room almost falling multiple times due to the strobes making the house go from bright to dark on repeat ( anyone at risk of seizures with a strobe alarm don’t worry it will wake you up, the first thing you need to do is turn on the light in the room so the flashing strobe doesn’t leave you having a seizure in a burning building) the strobe was blinding once the lights were on my dad knew it was a malfunction too so we immediately got a stool and my dad started trying to find the main one, he found it in his room. We went back to bed, but when my dad was trying to turn mine off he took it off the socket, the only problem is he didn’t put it back in and the way it was facing was directed at my bed. Once we were asleep the alarm happened again I was staring at it, I was immediately blinded laying in bed in burning pain (ironic). After 2 minutes i got up then my dad was turning it off again, then 30 secs later, again , repeat, again this time after my dad turned it off he did a alarm test. This time when he was done it meant DONE! He took the main one and broke it. It hasn’t happened since.

yup

Manual says units has to be clean from dust with a vacuum on air compressor at least once a year. I did it and problem solved

e @jmahecha2709 Yeah I called service that they said the same as yours but I told myself that never buying online this product that is too much problem and service where they sold it seemly irresponsible to exchange but tell me to fix by do this do that during those we bought from Home depot or sore is never be chirp a sound but battery is weak. To me, I prefer to buy fire alarm that can open to replace battery and never buying any fire alarm with 10 battery 10 years. Since iI never buy fire alarm from online Costco because Costco sell those package for three fire alarms that looked cheap but actually too expensive as I had to to buy another replacement to avoid trouble . Because those package of three alarms from Costco online were short life and cause to much trouble , especially as I installed them into rental house that woke up guests by sounding fire alarm on every week. Please not buying Fire alarm online because customer service advise doing this doing that but avoiding replacing for you . If you buy directly from store that you can exchange or getting refund easily.. Sincerely

Happened to me today. I did start to disconnect one by one luckily when I was disconnecting one before the very last one (Master Bedroom) the Master Bedroom stopped. So, I did identify which one was the trigger. I did use our Dyson vacuum on each one and I hope the problem is solved.

Glad it was helpful!

Sorry i didnt show it

@@franksdiyandhomeownerhelp7374 Will you soon?

Please?

Can you please make a video of testing them? We really want to see the strobe real bad

Get it / them replaced, don’t turn them off, your life may depend on it.

Yep in ac

Oh. Use The Tool To Turn The Red Wheel Until You Hear A Click

They will replace it free.

These are minimum code for new construction in Ontario as of about 2015. If my house was new it would require 10 of them.

@@SteveRivett is true. I still have my old kidde ionization fire alarms running cause my house was built in 2008

They're not just in luxury houses, I've also seen them in newly-built apartment units and smaller homes/townhouses.

@@elevators_of_southern_ontario yeah ive realised that. but im in brampton so heres a lot of luxury houses where i live.

Not a luxury for me, I have 3 in my one bedroom apartment and one right outside my door. I have been purely traumatized from the alarms in my apartment for the last three months. The strobe light may be helpful for deaf people but it just extremely hurts me to have to turn them off due to constant false alarms I’ve been experiencing. The strobe light leaves ‘sun spots’ in my vision for up to 20 minutes after disabling the false alarms, and I have contacted my landlord dozens of times to fix this issue, I am not sure whether it is faulty electrical work or the actual alarms themselves as I keep reading that so many other people having this same issue with false alarms in the middle of the night. Mine have been constantly triggered for no reason and also from merely boiling some water on my stove with the window open. If anyone has any suggestions it would be highly appreciated

Skywalker contact the company they will warranty it and send you a brand new one. NO questions asked!

It's because the dust keeps triggering the alarm. So you should try to vacuum out all the dust

You should pay attentoon to the type of sensor your alarm uses. In this case, it’s photoelectric. Not cleaning the alarm will cause a false alarm. If you want to prevent false alarms, clean the alarm or get a high quality ionization alarm.

If you have rental properties the permanent batteries are good because it keeps tenants from removing them and using them for their tv remotes and xbox controllers

Ya but smoke alarms usually use 9 volt batteries ( i am aware some use AA or AAA batteries) and tv remotes or newer Xbox controllers use either AA or AAA batteries

A lot of the lithium sealed units mostly use photoelectric sensors only. If only there were some models that can use the ionization sensor for some units.

There are ionization 10 year alarms like the: Kidde i9010 (Battery) Kidde i12010s (Hardwired) Kidde i12010sco (Hardwired) All I know so far

Kidde i1040

Can you stop spamming your comment? I have seen you everywhere about this unit. It works fine.

I got this as well.

What's with the 911

Its not the smoke alarm....its the idiot who put a smoke alarm in the kitchen. And it is supposed to be sync to reduce the risk of seizures of epileptics.

Hey thanks...sounds like you are complaining about the machine doing its job. Never heard of putting alarms on the floor but hey go nuts. Maybe try some venting of your cooking fumes too.
