Description
The Kidde Front-Loading Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm
(part # 21007624) offers protection from two hazards – fire and
CO – in one unit. Sold under the FireX brand, this AC-wire with
battery backup alarm emits a beeping tone followed by a voice
warning that clearly announces the danger by saying, “Fire! Fire!”
or “Warning! Carbon Monoxide!”. The uniquely designed front-
loading battery compartment makes battery replacement quick
and easy, and ensures proper installation. Manufactured with
photoelectric sensors for detecting smoke and fire, this alarm also
includes the world’s most accurate CO sensing technology based
on claims by major manufacturers.
Alarm Warnings
Fire: The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long alarm
beeps followed by a verbal warning message “FIRE! FIRE!”. The alarm
will repeat pattern until unit is reset or smoke is eliminated.
Carbon Monoxide: Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal warn-
ing “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE!” This continues until the unit is
reset or the CO is eliminated.
Low Battery: One chirp followed by warning “LOW BATTERY”. The
red LED light will flash. This pattern will continue every minute for the
first hour. After the first hour the red LED light will flash once every
minute accompanied by the chirp sound. The “LOW BATTERY”
warning will only sound once every fifteen minutes.
Voice Hush Indication: “HUSH ACTIVATED” and “HUSH
CANCELLED” voice announcement
Alarm Memory: The green LED will blink once every 16 seconds
to alert a user when the unit has alarmed for smoke or has detected
a concentration of CO. If the alarm has detected a CO level of
100ppm or greater, when the Test/Reset button is pressed the
unit will announce “CO PREVIOUSLY DETECTED”.
If the alarm has detected abnormal levels
of smoke since its last test, it will produce
three rapid beeps.
