Part One – Your Kidde CO Alarm

This Kidde Alarm’s Unique Features

Test/Reset Button

This button has two functions:

1)Press this is the button to test the unit weekly.

2)Press this button if the unit alarms to silence the alarm. This will reset the unit and it will then start monitoring for CO. If the CO concentration is above 70 ppm the alarm will again sound within 6 minutes.

Sensor

The sensor is a highly sensitive, electrochemical sensor that is CO-specific to help avoid false alarms.

Sounder Alarm

This is the loud 85 decibel pulsing alarm that will sound to alert you to a potential problem.

9V Backup Battery (Model KN-COB-LCB-A only)

This CO alarm is not battery operated; the 9V battery is to sup- ply a short-term backup during a power outage. In the event of a power outage, the 9V battery will continue operating the alarm for at least 20 hours.

Low Battery HUSH® (Model KN-COB-LCB-A only)

By pressing the button on the CO alarm while it is in low bat- tery mode you can stop the alarm from producing a low bat- tery warning for up to twelve hours in order to maintain pro- tection without having to replace the battery at an inconve- nient time.

Tamper-Resist Feature (Model KN-COB-LCB-A only)

This is an alert to notify consumers the unit has been unplugged or has come loose from the outlet. This feature is not activated for two minutes after power is first supplied to give you time to plug the unit in after activating the battery. This feature is also disabled once the battery voltage has reached a level to cause a low battery warning chirp. This can be defeated for two minutes by pressing the Test button while the unit is removed from the plug to allow the battery to be changed without the 85dB alarm sounding. The feature can also be disabled by pressing in the Tamper-Resist Activation switch and moving the disable slide towards the switch. Use the included screw to secure the battery cover and increase tamper resistance.

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.
