Quick Set Up Guide

We urge you to read this entire guide in the sequence it is presented. If you only read one part of this guide initially, read the following two pages!

Listed below are seven easy steps for setting up your Kidde CO alarm.

Please read the entire guide for complete information.

Setting up your alarm for first time operation:

Step 1

Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is in or near bedrooms. Refer to page 10 for complete information.

Step 2

Your CO alarm is equipped to be mounted as a corded unit, a direct plug unit or a table top unit. In the “as shipped” configuration, the unit can be plugged directly into a wall socket. (If your outlets are mounted horizontally, please refer to page 13, “to rotate adapter”). If the transformer/adapter is taken out of the unit, the alarm can be mounted on the wall at eye level, while the trans- former is plugged into a wall socket. The unit can also be set on a table if the support at the bottom of the unit is pulled out (see “rear view” illustration on page 6). Refer to page 10 for information on installing your alarm.

Step 3

A 9V battery is needed for backup in the event of a power outage. When installing the battery, use an Energizer 522, Duracell MN 1604 or, for extended life, use an Ultralife lithium power cell model U9VL. Any of these batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at your local hardware store. To install the battery, open the back door and snap battery connector onto battery. You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power. Place battery into battery compartment and replace back door. Refer to page 13 for information to remove the back door.

Step 4

Plug the alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet in one of the configurations listed in step 2. Refer to page 6 for more details.

KN-COPP-3 specifications

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 is an advanced carbon monoxide (CO) and explosive gas detector designed to enhance safety in residential and commercial environments. One of its most notable features is its ability to detect both carbon monoxide and explosive gases like natural gas and propane, making it a dual-function device.

This detector is equipped with an electrochemical sensor that is highly sensitive to carbon monoxide, ensuring early detection of potentially dangerous gas levels. It can detect CO concentrations as low as 30 parts per million (ppm), which is vital for ensuring occupant safety. The device has a loud alarm that sounds when it detects high levels of CO, alerting residents to evacuate the premises immediately.

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 is designed for ease of use and convenience. It features a digital display that shows CO levels in real-time, allowing users to monitor the situation at a glance. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a peak level memory that stores the highest CO concentration detected since the last reset, providing valuable information in case of an alarm event.

In terms of installation, the KN-COPP-3 is easy to set up, requiring just a standard outlet for power. It also includes a backup battery system that ensures it remains operational even in the event of a power outage. This reliability is paramount for safety, as carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks.

Another characteristic of the Kidde KN-COPP-3 is its test and reset button, which allows users to routinely check the functionality of the alarm. Regular testing is important to ensure that the device is in working order and ready to respond in an emergency.

The device also incorporates a low battery warning feature, which alerts users when it's time to replace the batteries or the unit itself, further ensuring safety and peace of mind.

In conclusion, the Kidde KN-COPP-3 is a reliable and user-friendly carbon monoxide and explosive gas detector that combines advanced technology with essential safety features. Its dual detection capabilities, real-time monitoring, and dependable alarm system make it a crucial addition to any home or business to protect occupants from the dangers of CO and explosive gases.
