Where to Install Your CO Alarm

Your Kidde CO alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas. It is recommended that you install a Kidde CO alarm on each level of a multi-level home. You may use the number and loca- tion of smoke alarms installed in your home according to current building code requirements as a guide to the location of your Kidde CO alarm(s).

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS

UPPER LEVELS OF HOME

DINING KITCHEN BEDROOM BEDROOM

LIVING ROOM

BEDROOM

WHEN CHOOSING YOUR INSTALLATION LOCATIONS, MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR THE ALARM FROM ALL SLEEPING AREAS. IF YOU INSTALL ONLY ONE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IN YOUR HOME, INSTALL THE ALARM NEAR BEDROOMS, NOT IN THE BASEMENT OR FURNACE ROOM.

Two labels have been provided. Add the phone number of your Emergency Service provider in the space provided on the labels. Place one label next to the alarm and the other one near a fresh air source such as a door or window.

Seven (7) years after initial power up, this unit will “chirp” every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN THIS CONDITION.

To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace by” date (7 years from power up) in permanent marker on the label.

CAUTION: This CO alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas.

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electron- ic components in this CO alarm. Please see the next section describing where NOT to install this CO alarm.

These detectors are designed with state-of-the-art technology to ensure quick and reliable detection of harmful gases, allowing users to take immediate action in the event of a leak.

One of the main features of both models is their digital display, which provides real-time readings of carbon monoxide levels, as well as alerts for explosive gases like propane and natural gas. The KN-COB-DP-H has a comprehensive CO detection range, ensuring that even low levels of this colorless, odorless gas are monitored. In contrast, the KN-COB-LCB-A is particularly adept at detecting explosive gases, making it a vital tool for those who might be exposed to gas appliances.

The battery backup ensures that the detectors remain operational even during power outages, enhancing their reliability. The KN-COB-DP-H boasts a smart chip technology that allows for self-diagnostic functionality, giving users peace of mind that the device is always in working order.

In addition to these features, the Kidde KN-COB series employs a unique safety threshold, which alerts users with a loud alarm when carbon monoxide levels exceed safe limits. This alarm system acts as an early warning mechanism, allowing individuals to evacuate the area quickly and seek fresh air.

The KN-COB-DP-H is equipped with a memory feature that retains the highest CO levels detected in the past 24 hours, providing valuable information for monitoring CO exposure over time. Meanwhile, the KN-COB-LCB-A includes a mute button that deactivates the alarm during non-threatening situations, without compromising the device's functionality.

Both detectors are designed with user-friendly interfaces and straightforward installation processes, ensuring that anyone can effectively monitor their environment for dangerous gas levels.
