6. Model KN-COPF-i Operating Characteristics
Whenever the alarm is operating, the green Power LED is illuminated and the digital display will display “0” to indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm senses dangerous levels of CO, the red Alarm LED will flash, the amber LED will be lit, the digital display will indicate the CO concentration in parts per million (PPM), and the alarm will emit an audible alarm pattern.
This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30 PPM have been detected within the last 30 seconds.
When the unit is first powered up, the digital display will show three “eights” – indicating the alarm is in the
The following table illustrates the possible digital displays, describes the audible alarm patterns, and the recommended actions to take.

Peak Level Memory
When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows the highest CO reading taken by the CO alarm since its last reset or power up. The Peak Level display feature will display levels between
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in nor- mal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may be an indication of a transient condition that may appear today and never reappear. Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks but could develop into CO concentrations that may become harmful.
Peak Level Memory Reset
Press the Peak Level button; with the button still pressed, press the Test/Reset button for two seconds and release. The number on the dis- play will turn to “0”, the memory will be cleared and the alarm will begin monitoring for CO. The Peak Level memory is also reset when the unit loses power.
