Welcome

Note: any times throughout this User Guide, we will refer to

Carbon onoxide 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, but not for use in a boat or recreational vehicle.

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

I PORTANT: 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.

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

Gener l C rbon Monoxide Inform tion

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 alarm 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.

ild Exposure:

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

symptoms).

edium 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 onoxide

C rbon Monoxide PPM Levels

Model KN-COP-DP-B 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

readings 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).

id 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).

Possible Sources of C rbon 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.

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

Conditions Th t C n Produce C rbon 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.

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.

Inform tion About C rbon Monoxide Al rms –

Wh t They C n nd C nnot 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.

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

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.

• resh 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. ( or example, CO in the basement may not

reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms).

or 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.

Recommended Inst ll tion Loc tions

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.

• The CO alarm plugs into a wall socket. Children must be taught not to

handle the CO alarm.

Loc tions To Avoid

I PORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic

components 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 4.4°C (40° )

or hotter than 37.8°C (100° ) 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.
