Carbon Monoxide Alarm

User Guide

SINGLE STATION CARBON

MONOXIDE ALARM

AC Plug-in Operated with AA Battery Backup

Model: KN-COB-DP2CA (900-0263CO-CA)

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

If alarm sounds 4 quick beeps, 5 seconds off:

1) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open

door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are

accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away

from the open door/window until the emergency services

responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and

your alarm remains in its normal condition.

2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911);

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has

been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset

button will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition

that caused the alert in the first place continues, the

alarm will reactivate. If the unit alarms again within

six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can

quickly become a dangerous situation.

WARNING:

Activation of the CO

Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon

Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!

Welcome

Note: Many times throughout this User Guide, we will refer

to Carbon Monoxide as “CO”.

This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is an important part of your

family’s home safety plan. This alarm has been designed and tested to

detect CO buildup in a residential environment. Your alarm is for use

specifically in the home. As an owner of a CO alarm, there are some

basic facts you should know for your protection.

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

CO 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. 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.

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas – completely

undetectable to your senses. That’s why it is important to your safety

that you have a CO alarm.

Important Warning Statements

IMPORTANT: This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to

detect carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It

is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.

WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke

alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute

for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of

smoke alarms in your home.

This carbon monoxide alarm will not sense smoke, fire, or

any

poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though

carbon monoxide can be generated by fire. For this reason

you must install smoke alarms to provide early warning of

fire and to protect you and your family from fire and its

related hazards.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of

carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be

present in other areas.

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!

Important Warning Statements

WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary

indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed

standards.

The installation of this device should not be used as a

substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of

fuel-burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation

and exhaust systems. It does not prevent CO from

occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem.

WARNING: This device is designed to protect individuals

from acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It may

not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical

conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using

warning devices which provide audible and visual signals

for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

This carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply

General Carbon Monoxide Information

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that

can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry

oxygen.

Periodically review this user guide and discuss your CO alarm emergency

procedure with all the members of your family. Never ignore a CO

alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of

CO. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO before

an emergency – before most people would experience symptoms of CO

poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly.

Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO

poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while

victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they

are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling

for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first

affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons

from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at

levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and

should be discussed with ALL members of the household.

Mild Exposure:

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like”

symptoms).

Medium Exposure:

Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure:

Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your

doctor immediately!

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxide

Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the

most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also

produce dangerous levels of CO.

CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline,

propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-

burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not

ventilated correctly, such as:

• Automobiles, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers,

water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters and generators,

fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.

• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure,

corroded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or cracked furnace

exchangers.

• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an open or closed

garage, attached or near a home.

• Burning charcoal or fuel in grills and hibachis in an enclosed area.

Conditions That Can Produce Carbon Monoxide

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused

by outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity,

including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid

air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing

for limited internal air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or

water heaters.

• 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 which can trap exhaust gases near the

ground.

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

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel-

burning appliances and their chimneys and vents in good working

condition. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect

CO poisoning, move outside to fresh air and get emergency help. Your

first line of defense is an annual inspection and regular maintenance of

your appliances. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local utility

company for assistance.

Information About Carbon Monoxide Alarms –

What They Can and Cannot Do:

CO alarms provide early warning of the presence of CO, usually before a

healthy adult would experience symptoms. This early warning is possible,

however, only if your CO alarm is located, installed and maintained as

described in this guide.

Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures

to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to

high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm – the higher the

level of CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.

This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not

prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem.

If your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventilation by leaving

your windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated

by the time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be

temporarily solved, it’s crucial that the source of the CO is determined

and that the appropriate repairs are made.

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. This alarm will not

monitor CO levels while in an error condition.

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

that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The

rate and ability that which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by:

• Doors or other obstructions.

• Fresh air from a vent, an open window or other source.

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

• CO being present on one level of the home and not reaching 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 these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by

placing a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all

information on properly installing this CO alarm.

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

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

Low Battery Warning

If the battery is missing or battery power is low, the unit will chirp every

60 seconds to indicate the batteries must be replaced.

THE BATTERIES MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!

Low Battery Hush®CONTROL

When the batteries need to be replaced, the unit will produce a low

battery warning. The Low Battery Hush®feature allows you to press the

button on the alarm and disable the “chirp” for a random period of up

to 12 hours. This gives you a chance to replace the battery at a more

convenient time by disconnecting the alarm from power. During this

Low Battery Hush®period, your alarm is monitoring for CO.

2. Product Features and Specifications

Tamper Resist Feature

The Tamper Resist feature is optional and DOES NOT need to be

activated for the CO alarm to function properly. The Tamper Resist

feature is a constant 85 dB alert to indicate the unit has been

unplugged or has come loose from the outlet. THIS FEATURE IS

INITIALLY DISABLED FROM THE FACTORY AND MUST BE ACTIVATED

IF FEATURE IS DESIRED. To activate the Tamper Resist feature: Move

the Tamper Resist Activation Slide to the “ON” position. Once

enabled, there is a two minute delay when power is supplied to

give you time to plug in the unit after activating the batteries. This

feature is automatically disabled once the battery voltage has reached

a level to cause a low battery warning chirp. Pressing the Test/Reset

button will defeat the 85 dB tamper alarm for two minutes to allow

time for the batteries to be changed without the alarm sounding.

To deactivate the Tamper Resist feature, press in the Tamper Resist

Activation Switch and move the Activation Slide to the “OFF”

position.

2. Product Features and Specifications

End of Life Notification

IMPORTANT: Ten (10) years after unit is first powered, this alarm will

chirp two times every 30 seconds to indicate it is time to replace the

alarm.

End of Life “Hush”: This model has an End of Life Hush feature which allows

you to press the Test / Reset button on the alarm and disable the “chirps”

for a period of 3 days. This gives you a chance to replace the alarm at a

more convenient time while still providing protection. The two chirps will

repeat again every 3 days and can be reset a total of 30 days. After 30 days,

the End of Life signal cannot be “Hushed.” The alarm must be replaced.

During this End of Life Hush period, your alarm is monitoring for CO.
