How the Unit Determines When to Alarm
Your Kidde CO alarm uses advanced technology to monitor the environment in your home and warn you of unacceptable levels 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 calculate the rate that CO would be absorbed into the human body. The micro- computer is calibrated to trigger the unit’s alarm before most people would experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison,
cause symptoms, as well as
present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.
This Kidde CO alarm meets the alarm response time requirements which are as follows:
At 70 ppm, the unit must alarm within
WARNING:At 400 ppm, the unit must alarm within
This device is designed to protect individuals from acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard 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.
Accuracy of the Digital Display
Each Kidde CO Alarm is calibrated at a CO concentration of 150 ppm in air, at 80˚ F (+/- 10˚ F). Depending on the ambient condition (temperature, humidi- ty) and the condition of the sensor, the alarm readings may vary.
The digital reading tolerances are:
Ambient: 80˚ F (+/- 10˚ F), atmospheric pressure +/- 10%, 40% +/- 3% relative humidity.
