Mounting

•Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

•After selecting the proper location for your CO Alarm and wiring the AC Quick-Connector harness, attach the mounting plate to the elec- trical box.

keyholes before tightening.

Tamper Resist Feature

To make this CO alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting plate. When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting plate. Rotate the alarm onto the mounting plate until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm.

Using the tamper resist feature will deter children and others from removing the alarm. To remove the alarm, press on the

•Install the alarm on the mounting plate and twist the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment). Note: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

•Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

Important Labels Provided

5. Alarm Characteristics

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator

When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps followed by 5 seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condi- tions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same pattern (and the PPM will be displayed on alarms with digital displays).

WARNING: For alarms equipped with 9V battery backup, when pow- ered by battery backup only; after four minutes, the alarm will sound and flash only once every minute, until the alarm is reset or the CO is eliminated.

Post Locations

If this unit is interconnected with other Kidde CO alarms, the amber LED (Initiating Alarm) of the unit which first detected the CO, will light and remain on until reset. The other interconnected CO alarms will also alarm to warn you that CO was detected.
