It is not designed to measure com- pliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), commercial or industrial standards. It is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electric Code.

The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust sys- tems. It does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve and existing CO problem.

WARNING: This device is designed to protect individuals from acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It may not fully safe- guard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.

This carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply of elec- trical power – it will not work without power. Models without battery backup will not operate during power failure.

This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detec- tion below 70 PPM.

General Carbon Monoxide Information

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxy- gen.

Periodically review this alarm manual and discuss your CO alarm emer- gency procedure with all the members of your family. Never ignore a CO alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of CO. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO before an emergency – before most people would experience symptoms of CO poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly.

Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and should be discussed with ALL members of the household.

Mild Exposure:

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure:

Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure:

Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

KN-COPP-B-LS (900-0230), KN-COB-B-LS (900-0233) specifications

The Kidde KN-COB-B-LS (model 900-0233) and KN-COPP-B-LS (model 900-0230) are state-of-the-art devices designed for enhanced safety in homes and workplaces through advanced carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detection. These two models exemplify Kidde’s commitment to providing reliable protection against potentially life-threatening situations.

The Kidde KN-COB-B-LS features an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, which provides accurate detection of even the smallest concentrations of CO. This model typically has a digital display that continuously shows CO levels in parts per million, allowing users to monitor levels in real-time. It is equipped with a voice alarm that offers clear and concise warnings when CO is detected. Additionally, the KN-COB-B-LS has a peak level memory feature that records the highest CO level detected, which is useful for understanding exposure over time.

On the other hand, the KN-COPP-B-LS is a combined smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, integrating dual-sensor technology for comprehensive monitoring. This unit utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies. The photoelectric sensor is particularly effective at detecting smoldering fires, while the ionization sensor is better suited for fast flaming fires. This combination increases the effectiveness of fire detection, giving users an earlier warning in emergency situations. Similar to the KN-COB-B-LS, the KN-COPP-B-LS also features a digital display for CO levels and a voice alert system for immediate notifications.

Both devices are easy to install and come with a battery backup to ensure uninterrupted operation during power outages. They feature a test/reset button that allows users to verify functionality and a low battery warning system that alerts users when it's time to replace the batteries. The compact design and modern aesthetics of both alarms ensure they blend seamlessly into any environment.

Furthermore, these models comply with the latest safety standards, providing reassurance to homeowners and businesses alike. With an impressive lifespan of up to 10 years, these Kidde alarms are not only durable but also provide long-term protection against the dangers of smoke and carbon monoxide. Investing in the Kidde KN-COB-B-LS and KN-COPP-B-LS is a proactive step toward ensuring safety and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
