Carbon Monoxide Overview

Your new Kidde Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is a sophisticated instrument that has been carefully designed and tested to detect CO build up in a residential environments.

CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin level and inter- feres with the body’s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, carbon monoxide can kill in minutes.

The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning, or misuse of, gas appliances used for heating and cooking, vehicles engines, elec- tric generators, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed space.

Indications of CO poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems may experience symptoms sooner. Each year a qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney, and flues.

Your new Kidde CO alarm has a five year limited warranty. Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarize yourself and your family with its operation. Your Kidde CO alarm was designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of com- bustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gases. If you have any questions please call our Consumer Hotline at 1-800- 654-9677.

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.
