Part Four – What to do When the Alarm Sounds


▲	WARNING: Actuation of your CO
!	Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
!	Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.

1)Operate test/reset button;

2)Call your emergency services (fire dept. or 911);

PHONE NUMBER

3)Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/win- dow. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away from the open door/win- dow until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

4)After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.

PHONE NUMBER

If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or con- tact the manufacturer’s directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the resi- dence.

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected.

Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

What To Do If The Alarm Sounds (cont.)

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following common symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with ALL members of the household. Learn the difference between mild, medium and extreme levels.

Caution: This CO alarm will only indicate the presence of CO at the sensor. CO may be present in other areas.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure:

Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets are typically the first affected.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

KN-COPP-B, KN-COB-B specifications

The Kidde KN-COB-B and KN-COPP-B are advanced carbon monoxide (CO) and natural gas detectors designed to provide essential safety features for homes and workplaces. These devices are engineered to alert occupants of the presence of carbon monoxide or natural gas, which can pose serious health risks or even be life-threatening in high concentrations.

The KN-COB-B model is a sensitive CO detector that uses electrochemical sensor technology to accurately monitor levels of carbon monoxide in the environment. With a digital display, it provides real-time readings, allowing users to keep track of CO levels effectively. The detector features a peak level memory that recalls the highest CO level recorded since the last reset, which can be invaluable for pinpointing exposure at specific times. An alarm will trigger when dangerous levels of CO are detected, ensuring timely intervention and safety.

On the other hand, the KN-COPP-B model is designed to detect natural gas leaks, including methane and propane. It utilizes a state-of-the-art semiconductor sensor that provides reliable performance and swift response times. Like its counterpart, it features a robust alarm system, ensuring that occupants are alerted as soon as gas concentrations reach dangerous levels.

Both models are equipped with a test/reset button that allows users to easily check the functionality of the alarms, ensuring that they remain in working order at all times. They also come with an easy-to-read LED display that shows the status of the device, including the presence of CO or natural gas.

Design-wise, these detectors are sleek and compact, fitting seamlessly into any home or office environment. They can easily be mounted on walls or placed on flat surfaces, providing flexibility in placement options. Each model comes with an AC power adapter for continuous use, supplemented by a battery backup that ensures operation during power outages.

Together, the Kidde KN-COB-B and KN-COPP-B provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring both carbon monoxide and natural gas levels, making them essential safety devices for any modern living or working space. Their advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and high reliability make them a top choice for consumers seeking peace of mind regarding air quality and safety.
