Introduction

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, there are some basic facts

you should know for your protection

and

convenience.

Many people think that CO alarms operate like smoke alarms. Like smoke

alarms, CO alarms monitor the air in your home and sound a loud alarm to

warn you of trouble.

The way you respond to a CO alarm is quite different than a smoke alarm.

That’s because a house fire and a carbon monoxide problem are two distinctly

different situations. If your smoke alarm were to alarm, you would quickly be

able to judge the level of danger you were in with your senses. You can see and

smell the smoke, feel the heat, see, and possibly hear the fire burning. You can

also readily see if your smoke alarm is alarming in a non-emergency situation,

for example someone smoked up the kitchen with some burnt toast. Because

your sense of sight, smell, hearing and touch give you information, you can

almost instantly judge what action to take if you hear your smoke alarm.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is invisible, odorless, tasteless, non-irritating, poisonous

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

burned – gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, wood, coal, and even tobacco. 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 carbon

monoxide alarm.

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

the facts about carbon monoxide, how your new unit works, and what to do if

it alarms. Find a handy place to keep this manual so that it will be readily avail-

able 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 will provide you with

years of dependable service.

Quick Set Up Guide

Step 1

Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is in or near

bedrooms. Refer to page 10 for complete information.

Step 2

Your CO alarm is equipped to be mounted as a corded unit, a direct plug unit

or a table top unit. In the “as shipped” configuration, the unit can be plugged

directly into a wall socket. (If your outlets are mounted horizontally, please

refer to page 13, “to rotate adapter”). If the transformer/adapter is taken out

of the unit, the alarm can be mounted on the wall at eye level, while the trans-

former is plugged into a wall socket. The unit can also be set on a table if the

support at the bottom of the unit is pulled out (see “rear view” illustration on

page 6). Refer to page 10 for information on installing your alarm.

Step 3

A 9V battery is needed for backup in the event of a power outage. When

installing the battery, use an Energizer 522, Duracell MN 1604 or, for extended

life, use an Ultralife lithium power cell model U9VL. Any of these batteries can

be purchased where you bought the alarm or at your local hardware store. To

install the battery, open the back door and snap battery connector onto battery.

You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power.

Place battery into battery compartment and replace back door. Refer to page

13 for information to remove the back door.

Step 4

Plug the alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet in one

of the configurations listed in step 2. Refer to page 6 for more details.

We urge you to read this entire guide in the sequence

it is presented. If you only read one part of this guide

initially, read the following two pages!

Listed below are seven easy steps for setting up your Kidde CO alarm.

Please read the entire guide for complete information.

Setting up your alarm for first time operation:

Step 5

You will either see a flashing red dot or you will see three eights in the

digital display indicating the alarm is warming up. After approximately 20 sec-

onds, the first reading will appear on the digital display. The number on the dig-

ital display should be zero (0). If not, see page 15 for complete information on

normal operating characteristics.

Step 6

Make sure the red dot in the digital display is blinking. Then test the unit’s

operation by pressing and releasing the Test/ Reset button. Within 15 seconds

you will hear 4 quick “chirps” -followed by 5 seconds of silence- followed by

4 quick “chirps”. For complete testing information, refer to page 16.

Step 7

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

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

you if it alarms at night.

Continuous exposure to the loud 85 deci-

bel alarm at close range over an extended period of time may cause hearing

loss.

Your Kidde CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence of carbon monox-

ide.

The Unique Features of this Kidde CO Alarm

Digital Display

The continuous digital display shows you the level of carbon monoxide (if any) the unit

is sensing. The unit updates the digital display every 15 seconds .

:If the unit reading is zero (0), then 30 ppm or less of CO has been sensed by

the alarm within the last 15 seconds.

Test/Reset Button

The Test/Reset button has three functions:

1. Press this button to test the unit weekly (see page 16 for further

details).

2. Press this button if the unit alarms to silence the alarm. This will reset

the unit and it will then start monitoring for CO. If the CO concentra-

tion is above 70 ppm the alarm will again sound within 6 minutes.

3. Press the Test/Reset button to reset peak level memory. (See page

19).

Features

Peak Level Button

By pressing this button, you can see the peak CO level recorded by the

alarm since it was last cleared or unplugged. This Kidde feature allows

you (or a heating contractor or a fireman) to see exactly how serious

the CO problem you have so you can react accordingly.

Sensor

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

ic 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. An alarm condition is 4 quick “chirps” – followed

by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 quick “chirps”. This pattern

repeats until the alarm is silenced or a high level of CO is no longer pre-

sent.

:Continuous exposure to this sound level at close range over

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

cover the sounder with your finger or thumb while testing the alarm.

Keyholes

When the alarm is mounted to the wall, the keyholes slide onto

the

screws mounted in the wall.

Pull-Out Transformer/Adapter

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

unit, a wall mounted unit or a table top unit.

9 Volt Back-up Battery

Note: This CO alarm is not battery operated.

The 9 volt battery supplies short term backup power during power out-

ages

Features

What Carbon Monoxide Alarms Can and Cannot Do

CO alarms are designed to sense unacceptable levels of CO from mal-

functioning furnaces, appliances, gas engines or other sources. This

Carbon Monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an

operational smoke alarm.

CO alarms provide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide,

usually before a healthy adult would experience symptoms.

This early warning is possible, however, only if your Kidde CO alarm is

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

This CO alarm is designed to act as a 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 limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms

are not fool-proof.

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

weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. If your CO alarm

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

immediately have the unit replaced. See back page for warranty infor-

mation. This CO alarm also has an "operational end of life" feature

which will indicate when to replace the alarm. See page 28 for details

of this feature.

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

monoxide may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm.

The rate at which CO reaches the unit may be affected by doors or other

obstructions. In addition, fresh air from a vent or open window or any

other source may prevent CO from reaching the sensor. Please observe

cautions on page 5 “Where to install your alarm.”

CO could be present on one level of the home and not reach a CO 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 reason,

we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO alarm

on every level of the home.

CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas

(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels.

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 agent.

Where to Install Your CO Alarm

Your Kidde CO alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living

areas. It is recommended that you install a Kidde CO alarm on each level of a

multi-level home. You may use the number and location of smoke alarms

installed in your home according to current building code requirements as a

guide to the location of your Kidde CO alarm(s).

Two labels have been provided with important information on what to do in

case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency service provider

in the space provided. Place one label next to the alarm after it is mounted,

and one label near a fresh air source such as a door or window.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at

the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas.

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components

in this alarm. Please see the next section describing where NOT to install this

alarm.

•Insure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed.

•For tabletop mounting we recommend the unit be

placed no higher than three feet from the floor.
