Quick Set Up Guide

Listed below are five easy steps for setting up your Kidde CO Alarm. Please read

this entire guide for complete information.

Note: This CO alarm must be installed by a competent person.

Step 1 - Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Refer to

Installation, Where to Install Your Alarm for complete information.

Step 2 - Install the 9 volt backup battery. To install the battery, open the back

cover and snap the battery connector onto the battery. You will hear the alarm

sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power. At power up, you will see the

the green power LED flash every 15 seconds until the unit is plugged into the

mains socket after which the power light will light continuously. It may take up to

30 seconds before remaining on continuously. Approximately 20 seconds the unit

receives power it will start sampling for CO. See “Normal Operating

Characteristics” for complete information on operating characteristics.

Place the battery into the battery compartment and replace the back cover.

Step 3 - Determine how you want to mount the alarm. Your CO alarm is

equipped to be mounted as a corded, a direct plug, or a table top unit. Refer to

Installation, How to Install your Alarm for complete instructions about how to

configure your alarm for installation.

Step 4 - Install the alarm. Plug the alarm into a standard un-switched 230 volt

AC electrical outlet in one of the alarm configurations listed in step 3. Wait 2 to 3

minutes after power up and make sure the power light is on.

Step 5 -Test the unit’s operation by pressing and releasing the Test/Reset

button. The unit will beep once to acknowledge the button was pressed. After a

short pause the unit will produce a quick beeping pattern for 8 seconds

While testing the alarm, have someone else check that the alarm can be heard

easily from the sleeping areas. The unit should be located where it can wake you

if it alarms at night.

Your alarm is now monitoring for the presence of CO gas.

For complete testing information, refer to How to Test Your CO Alarm” section.

Caution: Continuous exposure to the loud 85 decibel alarm at close range over

an extended period of time may cause hearing loss. We recommend that you

cover the front of the unit while testing the alarm with the palm of your hand.

We urge you to read this entire manual in the sequence it is presented.

IMPORTANT!

A small screwdriver or similar tool may be required to remove the back cover. The back

cover should be levered up from the centre recess at the bottom of the alarm. The cover is

designed this way to discourage the removal of batteries, or tampering, by young children.

This Kidde Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is an important part of your family’s

home safety plan. As a new owner of a CO alarm, here are some basic facts

you should know for your protection and convenience

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, tasteless, nonirritating, poisonous

gas that is completely undetectable to your senses. It is created when any fuel

is burned. When oxygen is limited during combustion, more CO is produced.

Serious problems can develop when combustion by-products are not properly

vented outside the house. That’s why it’s so important to your safety that

you have a CO alarm.

Please take the time to read this guide to familiarize yourself with the facts

about CO. Know how your new unit works, and what to do if it alarms. Find a

handy place to keep the guide so it will be readily available when you have a

question.

Thank you for making Kidde a part of your complete home safety program.

With proper installation and use, your new Kidde CO Alarm should provide

you with years of dependable service.

Kidde CO Alarm Unique Features

Test/Reset Button

This button has two functions. First, this is the button you press when

you test the unit weekly (see “How to test your CO alarm” section). It’s

also used when resetting the peak level memory.

Peak Level Button

If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 50 PPM or higher, pressing

the Peak level button will produce 8 beeps to inform you of a CO inci-

dent. The memory must be cleared after each incident, see “The Peak

Level Memory Button” section for details

Sensors

The CO sensor is a highly sensitive, electrochemical sensor that is CO

specific to help avoid false alarms.

Sounder Alarm

This is the loud 85 decibel pulsing alarm that will sound to alert you to a

potential problem.

Pullout Transformer/Adapter

This unique Kidde alarm feature enables the alarm to be used as a

direct plug unit, a wall mounted unit or a tabletop unit.

9 Volt Backup Battery

This CO alarm is not battery operated. The 9 volt battery is to supply a

short-term backup power during a power cut. In the event of a power cut,

a fully charged 9 volt battery will continue operating the alarm for at least

20 hours.

When installing a fresh battery, use either an Energizer 522, Duracell MX1604

or MN1604, or for extended battery life an Ultralife lithium power cell model

U9VL. Any of these batteries can usually be purchased where you bought the

alarm or at your local hardware store.

Features

What Carbon Monoxide Alarms Can and Cannot Do

This unit is designed to sense certain levels of CO from malfunctioning

furnaces, appliances, gas engines or other sources. This unit will pro-

vide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide, usually before

a healthy adult would experience symptoms.

This early warning is possible only if your Kidde CO Alarm is located,

installed and maintained as described in this user’s guide.

This unit is designed to act as a continuous monitor; it is not designed

for use as a short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the

presence of CO.

CO alarms have a limited operational life. You must test your alarm

weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. If it does fail to test

properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction, immediately

have the unit replaced. See the back page for warranty information.

CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. CO may

be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. Doors or other

obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the unit. In addi-

tion, fresh air from a vent or open window or any other source may pre-

vent CO from reaching the sensor. Please observe cautions in the

“Where to install your alarm” section.

CO could be present on one level of the home and not reach the alarm

installed on a different level. For example, CO in the basement may not

reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms. For this rea-

son, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO

alarm on every level of the home.

This unit is not a smoke alarm. It will not sense smoke or fire. For early

warning of fire you must install smoke alarms, even though a fire can

generate carbon monoxide.

CO alarms are not a substitute for property, disability, life or other insur-

ance of any kind. Appropriate insurance coverage is your responsibility.

Consult your insurance company.

Installation

Mounting Configuration

LOCATION

Your Kidde CO Alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and liv-

ing areas or wherever you suspect a CO exposure to be likely. It is rec-

ommended that you install a Kidde CO Alarm on each level of a multi-

level home.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of CO at the sen-

sor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas.

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-

ponents in this alarm. Please see the next section describing where

NOT to install this alarm.

Where Not to Install Your CO Alarm

To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum protection,

and to prevent unnecessary alarms, follow the directions below where

NOT to install this alarm:

It is not recommended that you install this CO alarm in garages or

kitchens. Installation in these areas could lead to nuisance alarms, may

expose the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it,

or the alarm may not be heard by persons in other areas of the home,

especially if they are sleeping.

In the garage, vehicle exhaust can contain some CO. These levels are

higher when the engine is first started. Within hours of starting a vehicle

and backing it out of the garage, the level of remaining CO present can

activate the alarm and cause a nuisance alarm.

In the kitchen, some gas appliances can emit a short burst of CO upon

start-up. This is normal. If your CO alarm is mounted too close to these

appliances, it may alarm often and become a nuisance.

If you must install a Kidde CO Alarm near a cooking or heating appli-

ance, install AT LEAST 1.8 metres (7 feet) away from the appliance.

Do not install the alarm in excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas such

as boiler rooms. Dust, grease, or household chemicals can contaminate

or coat the alarm’s sensors, causing the alarm not to operate properly.

Do not install within 1.8 meters (7 feet ) of a steam/moisture source,

e.g., bathroom or kitchen sink.

Do not obstruct the vents on the alarm. Place the alarm where drapes,

furniture or other objects do not block the flow of air to the vents.

Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings, a

gabled roof or within 15.2 cm (6”) of ceiling, where CO may not reach

the sensor in time to provide early warning.

Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans. Do not install near doors

and windows that open to the outside, near fresh air vents, or anywhere

that is drafty. Rapid air circulation from fans or fresh air from outside

may cause the sensors to display an inaccurate reading.

2520-7201-00.qxd 2006.4.7 3:56 PM Page 7

Do not install this alarm to a switch- or dimmer-controlled outlet if pos-

sible

Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 4.4°C

(40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F). These areas include uncondi-

tioned crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages. Extreme tempera-

tures will affect the sensitivity of the alarm.

Do not install this unit near deep cell large batteries. Large batteries

have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti-

mum performance.

Avoid the following:

• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances

caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:

1) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind.

Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods

between cycles).

2) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust

fans.

3) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances com-

peting for limited internal air.

4) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from a clothes drier, fur-

nace or water heater.

5) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can

amplify the above situations.

• Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,

fireplace, etc.).

• Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gasses near the

ground.

• Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

How to Install Your CO Alarm

Your Kidde CO Alarm with its removable adapter allows you to install

the alarm as a wall mounted unit, a direct plug unit, or as a table top

unit.

Refer to Where to Install Your CO Alarm for general guidelines.

Direct Plug Alarm

In its “as shipped” configuration, your Kidde CO Alarm is ready to be

plugged directly into a wall-mains socket.

To install:

1.) Choose a standard unswitched 230V electrical outlet to plug the

alarm into.

2.) Plug the alarm in.

Note: Do not cover the alarm with a curtain or other obstruction.
