Welcome

Note: Many times throughout this User’s 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 about 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 pro-

tect 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.

nary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed

to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), commercial or industrial standards. It is

not suitable for installation in hazardous locations as defined in

the National Electric Code.

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 sys-

tems. 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 mon-

oxide concentrations under 30 PPM.

This carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply of elec-

trical power – it will not work without power.

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

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’s guide and discuss your CO alarm emer-

gency 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

Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels

(model KN-COPP-B-LP with digital display only)

Model KN-COPP-B-LP is equipped with a digital display that shows

levels of CO (displayed in PPM – parts per million). Learn the difference

between dangerous, high, mid and low levels.

Dangerous Levels:

When someone is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning and CO read-

ings are generally above 100 PPM. Anytime someone is experiencing the

symptoms of CO poisoning this should be treated as an emergency. See

“What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

High Levels:

Generally above 100 PPM, with no one experiencing symptoms. This

should be treated as an urgent situation. See “What to do When the

Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

Mid Levels:

Generally between 50 PPM to 100 PPM. This should be cause for concern

and should not be ignored or dismissed. See “What to do When the

Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

Low Levels:

Generally below 50 PPM. Kidde recommends you take action to eliminate

the source of CO. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside

front cover).

IMPORTANT: Model KN-COB-B-LP does not have a digital display

and does not display carbon monoxide levels in PPM. If the alarm

sounds, it should be treated as a potentially serious condition. See

“What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

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, pro-

pane, 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, cor-

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

roded 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 veloc-

ity, 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.

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 com-

pany 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.

21008088B_10Y_V2.indd 721008088B_10Y_V2.indd 7 2012.9.14 10:17:56 AM2012.9.14 10:17:56 AM

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

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 temporar-

ily 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.

• CO being 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 these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by

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

information in sections 2 and 3 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.

Instruct children never to touch or otherwise interfere with the alarm.

Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.

WARNING: After ten (10) years from initial power up, this

alarm will “beep” two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is

time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will

not detect CO in this condition.

To help identify the date to replace the alarm, a label has been affixed

to the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by” date (ten years from

power up) in a permanent marker on this label.

Recommended Installation Locations

CO alarms should be mounted in

or near bedrooms and living areas.

It is recommended that you install

a Kidde CO alarm on each level of

your home.

When choosing your installation

locations, make sure you can hear

the alarm from all sleeping areas. If

you install only one CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms,

not in the basement or furnace room.

• When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no

circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.

• Placing the alarm at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the

digital display.

Locations To Avoid

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-

ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide

optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose

the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F

(4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics,

porches and garages.

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde

recommends 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms).

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air

ventilation openings.

• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly

exposed to the weather.

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

gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide

early warning.

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

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

optimum performance.

• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the

alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air

to the vents.
