Kidde KN-OOSM-I Carbon Monoxide Alarm User Manual


 
Operating Instructions
16
diately, the unit will verbally announce “HUSH MODE ACTIVAT-
ED”, and the green LED will flash every 2 seconds for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. This indicates that the smoke alarm is in a
temporarily desensitized condition. Your Smoke/CO Alarm will
automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes. When the
unit returns to normal operation after being in HUSH mode, it
will verbally announce “HUSH MODE CANCELLED”, and sound
the alarm if smoke is still present. The HUSH feature can be
used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition
causing the alarm. While the unit is in HUSH mode, pushing the
test/reset button on the alarm will also end the HUSH period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CON-
TROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE,
IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A
SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
Reset Feature
If the the Smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a CO alarm, pressing
the test/reset button will silence the alarm.
If the CO condition that caused the alert continues, the alarm
will reactivate. Reactivation times depend on the amount of
CO present (see page 21).
Peak Level Memory
If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 100 PPM or higher
since last reset, it will be recorded by the Peak Level Memory
function. To access the Peak Level Memory press the test/reset
button. If a reading of 100 PPM or higher has been recorded,
the unit will announce “Carbon Monoxide Previously detected.”
If you’ve been away from home this feature allows you to check
if there was a CO reading of 100, or higher, during your
absence. Pushing the test/reset button resets the memory. It’s
also reset when the power is removed.
