Announcement

All strobe products produced after October 22, 2021 will only meet UL 1638 and no longer meet ADA,

FHA, HUD, and UL 1971.

Applies to

All Kidde customers with orders pending or future orders for P4010ACLEDS-2, P4010ACLEDSCO-2, and

SLED177i

Affected products

P4010ACLEDS-2, P4010ACLEDSCO-2 & SLED177i

Background

 Kidde was made aware of a change to the UL 1971 standard regarding the strobe light pulse

duration to 20 ms (milliseconds)

 At this time, the strobe light pulse duration on our products are ~ 50ms, consequently we have

removed these products from our portfolio

 Timing for updated products is approximately ~6 months

What should you do?

Please contact any customers that currently have a backorder with the impacted models and make them

aware these models are no longer listed under ADA, FHA, HUD, and UL 1971.

Unless a local ordinance specifies otherwise, any P4010ACLEDS-2, P4010ACLEDSCO-2, and SLED177i

products produced prior to October 22

2021 are NOT impacted by this transition.

Therefore, anything already installed or in inventory still meets ADA, FHA, HUD, and UL 1971.
