Kidde Smoke and CO Detector, 1 Pack, 30CUDR-V, AA Battery-Powered with Voice Alerts

The Kidde Smoke & CO Detector, model 30CUDR-V, is an AA battery-powered alarm designed to detect smoke and carbon monoxide, with voice alerts and an 85-decibel alarm.

• Over 25% faster smoke detection* — provides earlier smoke detection compared with the products in the stated test.
• Voice alerts name the detected hazard — helps occupants know whether the alarm is for smoke or carbon monoxide.
• 85-decibel alarm and red LED — provides audible and visual warnings.
• Sensing technology helps reduce everyday false alarms — distinguishes real smoke from cooking or steam.
• Tested to UL 217 10th Edition, UL 2034 5th Edition, and FCC standards — supports use in home safety planning.

Smoke and carbon monoxide are different household hazards, and this detector is designed to monitor for both with one alarm. Its combination of spoken hazard announcements, an audible alarm, and a visual indicator gives homeowners, property managers, contractors, and other professionals more than one way to recognize an alert. It is intended for homes and apartments.

What hazards does the Kidde detector monitor, and how does it alert you?

The Kidde 30CUDR-V detects smoke and carbon monoxide and announces which hazard it senses. For smoke, its voice alert says “Fire”; for carbon monoxide, it says “Warning, Carbon Monoxide.” The 85-decibel alarm provides an audible warning, while a bright red LED provides a visual one. The distinct spoken messages help occupants identify the type of alert and respond accordingly.

• Smoke alert wording: “Fire.”
• Carbon monoxide alert wording: “Warning, Carbon Monoxide.”
• Smoke detection is over 25% faster.*

What powers the Kidde 30CUDR-V, and when should its batteries be replaced?

The detector operates on two included AA alkaline batteries. Replace the batteries every six months or when the alarm gives a low-battery chirp. This schedule applies to the detector’s batteries, not to the alarm’s warranty period. Battery power is built into the product design, and the included batteries mean the detector comes with its specified power source.

• Power source: two AA alkaline batteries, included.
• Replacement timing: every six months or after a low-battery chirp.
• Warranty: a 10-year limited warranty on the alarm, starting on the date of purchase; it is not a battery-performance claim.

What testing and sensing features does this smoke and CO alarm have?

The Kidde alarm has been tested to UL 217 10th Edition, UL 2034 5th Edition, and FCC standards. Its advanced sensing technology is designed to help reduce false alarms by distinguishing smoke from common sources such as cooking or steam. The faster-detection comparison is based on internal testing of smoldering wood fires: Kidde 9th Edition products were compared with leading competitor 8th Edition products, with 29% faster average smoke detection in that test.

• Smoke alarm standard: UL 217 10th Edition.
• Carbon monoxide alarm standard: UL 2034 5th Edition.
• Additional standard: FCC.
