What To Do If The Alarm Sounds (cont.)

Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term expo- sures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm - the higher the level of carbon monoxide present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.

This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem. If your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventila- tion by leaving your windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated by the time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be temporarily solved, it’s crucial that the source of the CO is determined and that the appropriate repairs are made.

This CO alarm meets the UL alarm response time requirements as follows: At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes

At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes

WARNING

This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor residential areas. It is not designed to measure compliance with commercial and industrial standards.

This device is designed to protect individuals from acute effects of of carbon monoxide exposure. It may not fully safeguard indi- viduals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner. Individuals with medical problems may con- sider using warning devices, which provide audible and visual sig- nals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

Caring for your Kidde Battery Powered CO Alarm

To keep your CO alarm in good working order, please follow these simple steps:

Verify unit alarm, lights and battery operation by pushing the test button once a week.

Vacuum the CO alarm cover with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove accumulated dust.

Instruct children never to play with the CO alarm. Warn children of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the CO alarm.

Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the CO alarm.

Do not paint the CO alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor ability to detect CO.

Do not place near a diaper pail.

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.
