How the CO alarm determines when to alarm

Your Kidde CO alarm uses advanced technology to monitor the environment in your home and warn you of unacceptable lev- els of carbon monoxide. An internal microcomputer works together with the carbon monoxide sensor inside the alarm to determine the levels of carbon monoxide in the air and to cal- culate the rate that CO would be absorbed into the human body.

The microcomputer is calibrated to trigger the alarm before most people would experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Because carbon monoxide is a cumula- tive poison, long-term exposures to low levels can cause symp- toms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. Your Kidde CO alarm has a time weighted alarm, so the higher the level of carbon monoxide present, the sooner the alarm will be trig- gered.

KN-COB-DP-H, KN-COB-LCB-A specifications

The Kidde KN-COB-DP-H and KN-COB-LCB-A are advanced carbon monoxide (CO) and explosive gas detectors that provide essential safety solutions for households and businesses. 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.

Both models feature an easy-to-install design, making them suitable for residential and commercial applications alike. 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. Together, the Kidde KN-COB-DP-H and KN-COB-LCB-A are excellent additions to any safety toolkit, offering peace of mind through comprehensive gas detection technology.
