What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING: Activation of the CO An alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
If the alarm sounds 4 quick beeps, 5 seconds off:
-
Operate the Test /Reset button.
-
Call your emergency services (FIRE DEPT or 911).
PHONE NUMBER: -
Immediately MOVE TO FRESH AIR – outdoors or by an open door / Window.
-
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.
PHONE NUMBER:
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer 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 to or adjacent 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/Hush 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 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, 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
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 in
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, not for use in boats or recreational vehicles. It is not designed to measure compliance with commercial or industrial standards. It is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations as defined in your local building 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 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 the 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 that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.
This carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply of electrical 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 detection 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 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.
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-COP-DP-10YH 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
- Vehicles and other combustion engines run 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, and 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 can amplify the above situations.
- Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
- Temperature inversions 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.
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 response.
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
- Fresh air from a vent an open window or other
- 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.

Low Battery Warning
If the battery power is low, the unit will chirp every 60 seconds, and the display will show “Lb” to indicate the alarm must be replaced. THE ALARM MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!
Low Battery HUSH® CONTROL
When the unit produces a low battery warning, the Low Battery HUSH° feature
allows you to press the Test/Hush button on the alarm and disable the “chirp”
for a period of approximately 10 hours. This gives you a chance to replace the
alarm at a more convenient time without sacrificing your safety by
disconnecting the alarm from power. During this Low Battery HUSH° period, your
alarm is monitored for CO.
If the alarm does not go into Low Battery Hush, the battery power is below the
Low Battery Hush threshold.
REPLACE THE ALARM IMMEDIATELY!
Ambient Light Sensor
This alarm includes a feature to determine dark or light conditions. This
feature will;
- Help prevent low battery chirping at night, (when ambient conditions are dark).
- Dim the display in low light conditions, (night time and darker rooms), and brighten the display in bright light
- Turn on the Nightlight LED in low light conditions, (the unit must be plugged into AC for Night light operation).
End of unit life Warning
IMPORTANT: Ten (10) years after the initial power-up, this alarm will
“beep” two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the
alarm. The display will show “End”.
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.
End of Unit Life Hush Control
The End of unit Life Hush feature allows you to silence End of Unit life
chirping, for a period of 3 days, by pressing the Test/Hush button. This
feature can be used 10 times within 30 days, allowing you to replace the alarm
at a more convenient time. After 30 days, the alarm will no longer detect CO.
RELACE ALARM IMMEDIATELY!
Night Light / Escape Light Feature
This model is equipped with a night light feature. The brightness of the
night light can be adjusted by the user pushing the peak level button and
holding the button as the digital display cycles through a range of numbers
(settings) from 0 to 10. Release the button at the desired setting number
(brightness). If the night light feature is not wanted, push and hold the peak
level button, and then release the button when the display cycles to the “Off”
setting.
Note: The night light feature does not work if the unit is powered by DC only.
The escape light feature can help people exit rooms during alarm situations. The escape light will brightly illuminate during alarm and will remain lit continuously on AC power as long as the alarm condition exists. On DC power only, the escape light will remain lit continuously as long as the alarm condition exists and the low battery level has not been reached.
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 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.
Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT: 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°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F) such as crawl spaces, attics, porches, and garages.
- Do not install within 1.5 m (5’) of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde recommends 4.5 m (15’) 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.
Installation Instructions
How to Install Your Alarm To install:
- Remove the switch cover.
- Choose a standard 120V unswitched outlet to plug the alarm
- If the outlet is mounted sideways (horizontally), rotate the plug and plug the alarm
Note: This model is equipped with a feature that automatically activates the battery backup when the alarm is plugged into an AC outlet for the first time.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the alarm while it is plugged into an outlet, as damage to the plug may result.
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 dangerous CO conditions exist. The red
Alarm LED will flash the same pattern, the Escape light will illuminate, and
the PPM will be displayed on the digital display.
The digital display will be brightly lit if the unit is in alarm.
WARNING: If at any time you test the alarm and it does not perform as
described, have it replaced immediately.
Operating Characteristics
When you first power up the alarm: The red Alarm LED will light and the alarm will chirp once.
CO alarm power indicators:
AC – Digital display constantly on.
DC Only – Green LED flashes briefly once every 60 seconds.
Within a few minutes, your carbon monoxide alarm will start monitoring for CO
and will continue to do so as long as it receives power.
Whenever the KN-COP-DP-10YH is operating, the digital display will display “0”
(with AC applied) to indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm
senses dangerous levels of CO, the digital display will alternate between “CO”
and the measured CO concentration in parts per million (PPM), and the alarm
will emit an audible alarm pattern, and the Escape light will illuminate.
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 5 seconds. After 5 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 digital display will be brightly lit if the unit is in alarm, or in high light, and then will become dim in the standby condition during low light conditions. The Night light, in low light conditions with AC applied, will illuminate.
The following table illustrates the possible digital displays and describes the audible alarm patterns and the recommended actions to take.
Operating and Alarm Characteristics

every 30 seconds.| End of unit life| Replace the unit immediately. Refer to
Section 2 for the End of Life Warming and Discharge section on the next page.
Peak Level Event Alert
A Peak Level Event occurs whenever CO concentrations are greater than 100
PPM. The display will alternate between “PCO” and the currently measured CO
concentration, (0-999), even if that concentration has returned to 0 PPM, (see
Peak Level Memory section below to display peak level CO from the event). The
display will alternate continuously on AC power, and will briefly display once
every minute on DC only.
This will continue until:
- The unit goes into alarm or,
- CO concentration level drops below 100 PPM and the user clears the Peak CO Memory, (see Peak Level Memory Reset section below).
If the CO concentration is greater than 30 ppm and less than 100 PPM, the display will indicate the measured CO concentration only.
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
- 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 normal, 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 and hold the Peak Level button, then press and hold the Test/Hush button. When the number on the display reads “0”, release both buttons. The memory will be cleared and the alarm will begin monitoring for CO.
Discharge
****At end of unit life, locate the deactivation/discharge switch and push the switch in the direction shown, until the switch clicks into place. This will silence the end of unit life or low battery chirping, drain the battery, and render the unit safe for disposal.
Maintenance
NOTE: This unit is seated. 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.
