Your CO Alarm
The feature that sets this Kidde alarm apart from other alarms is the
unique digital display that gives you a continuous readout of CO levels
from 30-999 parts per million. The digital display serves as an early
warning of CO presence.
This Kidde alarm gives you the choice of a direct-plug unit, a wall
mount unit, or tabletop unit all in one.
Kidde CO Alarm Unique Features
Digital Display
The continuous digital display indicates the level of carbon monoxide (if
any) the unit is sensing. The unit updates this reading every 15 sec-
onds so you can watch CO levels rise or fall.
Note: If the unit does not sense any CO, the display reading is zero (0).
In most homes, the unit reads “0” all the time. A reading of “0” is
expected under normal conditions, and is good. The blinking dot after
the number indicates that the unit is operating.
Test/Reset Button
This button has two functions. First, this is the button you press when
you test the unit weekly (see “How to test your CO Alarm” section). It’s
also used when resetting the peak level memory.
Peak Level Button
By pressing this button, you can see the peak CO level recorded by the
alarm since it was last cleared or unplugged. This Kidde alarm feature
allows you (or heating contractor or fireman) to see exactly how big a
CO problem you have so you can react accordingly.
Sensors
The CO sensor is a highly sensitive, electrochemical sensor that is CO
specific to help avoid false alarms.
Sounder Alarm
This is the loud 85 decibel pulsing alarm that will sound to alert you to a
potential problem.
Pullout Transformer/Adapter
This unique Kidde alarm feature enables the alarm to be used as a
direct plug unit, a wall mounted unit or a tabletop unit.
9 Volt Backup Battery
This CO Alarm is not battery operated. The 9 volt battery is to supply a
short-term backup power during a power cut. In the event of a power cut,
a fully charged 9 volt battery will continue operating the alarm for at least
20 hours, during battery backup conditions.
When installing a fresh battery, use either an Energizer 522, Duracell MX1604
or MN1604, or for extended battery life an Ultralife lithium power cell model
U9VL. Any of these batteries can usually be purchased where you bought the
alarm or at your local hardware store.
