8. Interconnecting with Kidde CO, Smoke and Heat
Alarms
When compatible Kidde smoke alarms and heat alarms are interconnected
to your CO alarm, they will only respond to a smoke or heat related event.
When mixing Kidde alarms which have battery back-up with models
without battery back-up, be advised that the models without battery back-
up will not function during an A.C. power failure.
Testing
When pressing the Test/Reset button, if the unit is operating properly, the
red LED will flash and you will then hear a series of quick beeps for 4 sec-
onds, followed by 1/2 second of silence, followed by another series of
quick beeps. Models with digital display will show and then show a
number (usually around 200) for several seconds. After internal testing is
complete, will be displayed and the alarm will begin monitoring of
carbon monoxide.
If interconnected to Kidde Fyrnetics Smoke/Heat alarms, pressing the
Test/Reset button on the CO alarm will have no effect on the Smoke/Heat
alarms. The Smoke/Heat alarms will not be tested and will not alarm.
However, when pressing the Test button on an interconnected Smoke/Heat
alarm, the CO alarm will emit a Smoke/Fire audible and visual alarm pat-
tern of 3 long beeps, 1 second of silence, repeated. Note: You do not need
to press the Test button to take a CO reading.
Smoke/Heat Alarm Indicator
When an interconnected Kidde Fyrnetics smoke alarm detects smoke, or a
heat alarm detects 57
o
C, this unit will sound an alarm pattern of 3 long
beeps, followed by a 1 second silence. This cycle repeats as long as
smoke signal persists to alert you of the condition. In addition on digital dis-
play models the word "FirE" will scroll across the digital display. If this hap-
pens, leave the premises immediately by your escape plan and call the
emergency services.
WARNING:
This unit is not a smoke alarm and will not detect smoke or
fire. The digital model will only display "FirE" and alarm for Smoke/Fire if it
receives a signal from an interconnected Kidde Fyrnetics Smoke/Heat
alarm.
Note:
A smoke/heat alarm situation will override a CO alarm condition.
Refer to Operator’s Manual for additional instructions on testing the alarms.
