ATTENTION : Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this user’s guide which should be saved for future reference and passed on to any subsequent owner.
What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING: Activation of the CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
-
Operate the Test/Reset button;
-
Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911); PHONE NUMBER:
-
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 reenter 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. -
After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equip-ment
serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the
technician and consult the manufacturer’s instruc-tions, or contact the
manufacturer’s directly for more information about CO safety and the
equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, or have not been, operating
in a garage attached or adja-cent to the residence.
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.
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.
! WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations
of family living units. It is not designed to meas-ure 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 safe-guard 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 of elec-trical power –
it will not work without power. Models without battery backup will not operate
during power failure.
This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detec-tion below 70
PPM.
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 oxy-gen.
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!
Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels
Model KN-COPP-3 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).
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).
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.
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 veloci-ty, 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 condi-tion. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO poi-soning, 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 compa-ny 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.
- 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 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, unplug or otherwise interfere with the
alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.

Installation Locations
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 Recommended
Locations 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 cir-cumstances 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 on a switched or dimmer-controlled outlet.
-
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.
-
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.
Installation Instructions
How to Install Your 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.
In its “as shipped” configuration, all you need to do is install the 9V backup
battery and your Kidde CO alarm is ready to be plugged directly into a wall
socket.
Direct Plug Alarm To install:
- Choose a standard 120V unswitched outlet to plug the alarm into.
- Pull the slide support out approximately 1/4” until the slide snaps into place. This will help support unit in the wall outlet.
- Plug the alarm into the outlet.
If the outlet is mounted horizontally (side-ways): If you are going to use
your alarm as a direct plug and you are going to plug in to an outlet that is
mounted horizontally (sideways), you will need to rotate the adapter 90˚.
To rotate the adapter:
- Remove back door by sliding it down and out.
- Spread adapter thumb releases out and care-fully turn alarm over. This will allow adapter to slide out.
- Lift the adapter completely out of the alarm.
- Rotate the adapter 90˚ to the right (clockwise). Snap it firmly back into place.
- Carefully replace the back door. Insure the “latches” on all four cor-ners of the door are lined up, then press the door securely into place.
- Plug the alarm into an unswitched wall socket.
Wall Mounted Alarm
Installation tips for power cord models:
The power cord option provides more flexibility in mounting locations and
allows the alarm to be easily installed at eye level.
For a wall-mounted unit, you will need to pull out the removable adapter and
power cord.
To install:
-
Follow steps 1 through 3 in the previous sec-tion under “To Rotate the Adapter.”
-
With the adapter removed, pull the power cord out of the cord storage, remove the twist tie, and extend the power cord.
-
With the power cord extended, press the last few inches of the power cord into the cord recess. Gently pull the cord at the bottom of the cord recess until the cord becomes taught and lays flat in cord recess.
-
Carefully replace the back door. Insure the “latches” on all four corners of the door are lined up, then press the door securely into place.
-
Mark the location for the two mounting holes on the wall spaced vertically 2 5/8″ apart.
-
If you are mounting the alarm in plaster board or drywall, drill a 3/16″ hole into the wall and insert the plastic anchors provided.
Install the two screws provided into the wall or wall anchors until the screw head is approximately 1/8″ from the wall. -
Hook the unit over the screw head and into the key-hole in back of the unit.
-
Plug the adapter into an unswitched wall socket.
Table Top Alarm
You can use your Kidde CO alarm as a table top unit. Follow steps 1 thru 3 above. Instead of mounting the unit to a wall, pull out the slide support and place in a location that is easily visible. Be sure the alarm is no more than three feet from the floor.The alarm does not have to be within three feet from the floor to detect CO, but at this height it is less likely to sustain damage from a fall.
Important Labels Provided
Two labels have been provided that have 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.
Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud alarm
pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps followed by 5 seconds of silence.
This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condi-tions exist. The red Alarm
LED will flash the same pattern (and the PPM will be displayed on alarms with
digital displays).
! WARNING: When powered by battery backup only; after four min-utes, the
alarm will sound and flash only once every minute, until the alarm is reset or
the CO is eliminated.
If the battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display
other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions.
Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference
between a CO reading and an indication signifying a problem with the unit
itself.
! WARNING : If at any time you test the alarm and it does not perform as
described, have it replaced immediately.
Model KN-COPP-3 Operating Characteristics
Whenever the alarm is operating, the digital display will display “0” to indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm senses dangerous lev-els of CO, the digital display will indicate the CO concentration in parts per million (PPM), and the alarm will emit an audible alarm pattern. This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30 PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds. When the unit is first powered up, the digital display will show three “eights” – indicating the alarm is in the start-up mode. The three “eights” will remain for approximately 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the alarm should display “0” and begin monitoring the air for CO and will continue to do so as long as it receives power. The following table illustrates the possible digital displays, describes the audible alarm patterns, and the recommended actions to take.
Operating and Alarm Characteristics
Model KN-COPP-3 Operating Characteristics
Peak Level Memory
When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows the highest
CO reading taken by the CO alarm since its last reset or power up. The Peak
Level display feature will display levels between 11-999 PPM. Although the
Peak Level feature will display levels below 30 PPM, these levels will not
result in an alarm no matter how long the device is exposed to these levels.
The Peak Level feature is helpful in identifying if you have had a CO reading
since resetting the alarm.
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in nor-mal, everyday
conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may be an indication of a
transient condition that may appear today and never reappear. Some CO
conditions may start out as low level leaks but could develop into CO
concentrations that may become harmful.
Peak Level Memory Reset
Press the Peak Level button; with the button still pressed, press the
Test/Reset button for two seconds and release. The number on the dis-play will
turn to “0”, the memory will be cleared and the alarm will begin monitoring
for CO. The Peak Level memory is also reset when the unit loses power.
Maintenance
NOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your fingers over
the sounder opening while testing your alarm.
Caution : Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this alarm over
an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
Testing
To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is operating
properly, you will hear 4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence –
followed by 4 quick beeps. The display will show three “eights” and then show
a number – usually around 200). Within several seconds the unit will return to
monitor for CO.
Note: You do not need to press the Test button to take a CO read-ing.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: This CO alarm is not battery operated. However, these alarms are
equipped with 9 volt battery backup – the 9 volt battery is to supply short
term back-up during a power outage.
When replacing the battery, use one of the following approved brands:
- Duracell MN1604 or MX1604
- Energizer 522
- Gold Peak GP1604A
These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a local
hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect on
the alarm operation.
The 9 volt battery is not rechargeable. If the 9 volt battery is missing,
disconnected, or if the battery’s power is low, “Lb” will be displayed
alternately with the current CO reading once every second accompanied by an
audible beep every 15 seconds. If this happens, the battery must be replaced.
To replace the battery:
Remove back door by sliding it down and out. Remove battery by unsnapping it
from the battery clip. Do not disconnect the battery by pulling the battery
with one hand and the alarm with the other, as this may break the wires
connecting the battery to the CO alarm and void the warranty. Install a new
battery by connecting it to the battery clip and place into the recessed
battery cavity. Reinstall the back door of the unit.
IMPORTANT : Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce battery
life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once a year, or
at the same time as you change your clocks for daylight saving time.
After installing or changing the battery, reinstall your alarm. Test your
alarm by using the Test/Reset button and check that the display is on.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these steps:
-
Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.
-
Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
-
Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
-
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.
-
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with proper sensor operation.
Move the CO Alarm to a remote location, to prevent possible damage or contamination of the sensor, prior to performing any of the following: -
Staining or stripping floors or furniture, painting or wall-papering
-
Using aerosols or adhesives
WARNING: Reinstall the CO Alarm as soon as possible to assure co!ntinuous protection.
The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings: -
Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
-
Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, sol-vent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start) and some cleaning agents.
End of Life Notification
Ten (10) years after unit is first powered, this alarm will beep two times
every 30 seconds to indicate it is time to replace the alarm, and “End” will
show in the digital display. Once the unit is in End of Life Notification
mode, the alarm will no longer detect the presence of CO.
