Quick Set Up Guide

We urge you to read this entire manual in the sequence it is presented. But, if you only read one part of this manual initially, read these two pages!

Listed below are six easy steps for setting up your Nighthawk CO alarm. Please read the entire guide for complete information.

Setting up your CO 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 1-5 for complete information.

Step 2

If your CO alarm is equipped with a power cord, mount the alarm on the wall at eye level using the hardware provided. Eye level is the best position to easily see the digital display. If your CO alarm is equipped with a direct plug, simply plug in (you can rotate the plug if neces- sary) For hardwire units and for detailed instructions on mounting all alarms, refer to page 1-7,8.

Step 3

Plug the CO alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric out- let. If you have a direct plug model, mount the CO alarm with digital display at the top. You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power. Refer to page 1-9 for more details.

Step 4

You will first see three eights in the digital display indicating the CO alarm is warming up. After approximately 30 seconds, the first read- ing will appear on the digital display. The number on the digital display should be zero (0). If not, see page 1-9 for complete information on normal operating characteristics.

Step 5

Make sure the red dot in the digital display is blinking. Then test the alarm’s operation by pressing the Test/Reset button and releasing. Within 15 seconds you will hear 4 quick beeps – 5 seconds off – then 4 quick beeps. For complete testing information, refer to page 1-10.

Step 6

While testing the alarm, have someone else check that the alarm can be heard easily from the sleeping areas. The CO alarm should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night. See page 1-5 for complete information on the best locations for your CO alarm.

Caution: Continuous exposure to the loud 85 decibel alarm at close range over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.

That’s it. Your Nighthawk CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence of carbon monoxide.

The Nighthawk KN-COP series, which includes the KN-COP-HW, KN-COP-DP, and KN-COP-C models, represents a significant advancement in the realm of smoke and carbon monoxide detection technology. Designed with user safety and convenience in mind, these models integrate innovative features to ensure reliable performance in residential and commercial spaces.

One of the standout characteristics of the KN-COP series is their dual-sensor technology. This feature enhances detection capabilities by incorporating both photoelectric and ionization sensors. The photoelectric sensor is particularly effective in detecting smoldering fires, while the ionization sensor quickly identifies flaming fires. This combination allows the devices to respond accurately to a variety of fire scenarios, thereby increasing overall safety.

The KN-COP-HW model also boasts a sleek, modern design that fits seamlessly into any decor while being functional. It features a voice alarm system that clearly announces the type of danger detected, whether it's smoke or carbon monoxide, ensuring that users can react appropriately without confusion. Additionally, an LCD display provides real-time updates about CO levels, temperature, and battery status.

Another notable feature across the KN-COP lineup is the ease of installation and maintenance. Each unit is equipped with a battery backup, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages. The user-friendly design includes a simple test/silence button, making periodic checks and silencing false alarms hassle-free.

The KN-COP-DP variant elevates safety with advanced connectivity options. This model can be interconnected wirelessly with other Nighthawk units, allowing for synchronized alerts throughout larger spaces. This interconnected network provides comprehensive coverage, ensuring that everyone within the building is alerted in case of a potential emergency.

For users looking for a compact solution, the KN-COP-C model is engineered for optimal performance within smaller spaces. It retains the essential features of its counterparts but in a form factor that is easier to integrate into compact living environments.

Overall, the Nighthawk KN-COP series exemplifies a commitment to quality, safety, and innovative technology. Whether it's the homeowner seeking peace of mind or a business aiming to protect its assets, these detectors serve as a formidable first line of defense against the dual threats of smoke and carbon monoxide, ensuring that safety always comes first.
