Operating Characteristics
Peak Level Memory (model KN-COPP-B-LPM only)
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. In this example 120 PPM was the maximum amount of CO recorded since the unit was last reset.
The Peak Level display feature will display levels between
device is exposed to these levels. The Peak Level feature is helpful in identifying if you have had a CO reading since resetting the alarm.
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in normal, 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.
If this happens, the CO alarm will detect the dangerous level and alarm, notifying you and others of the conditions. DO NOT ignore high concentration readings above 30 PPM or a CO alarming device that is in alarm.
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 display 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.
7. 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, repeating for as long as dangerous conditions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same pattern and the digital display (where equipped) will indicate CO concentrations in parts per million (PPM).
8. Maintenance
NOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your fingers over the sounder opening while testing your alarm.
Caution: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
Testing
To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear 4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence
–followed by 4 quick beeps. (For model
–and then show a number between 150 and 300). The red LED will flash along with the beeps. Within several seconds the unit will return to monitor for CO. Note: You do not need to press the Test button to take a CO reading.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these steps:
•Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.
•Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
•Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
•Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.
•Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with proper sensor operation.
