Kidde CO Alarm Unique Features
Test/Reset Button
This button has two functions. First, this is the button you press when
you test the unit weekly (see “How to test your CO alarm” section). It’s
also used when resetting the peak level memory.
Peak Level Button
If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 50 PPM or higher, pressing
the Peak level button will produce 8 beeps to inform you of a CO inci-
dent. The memory must be cleared after each incident, see “The Peak
Level Memory Button” section for details
Sensors
The CO sensor is a highly sensitive, electrochemical sensor that is CO
specific to help avoid false alarms.
Sounder Alarm
This is the loud 85 decibel pulsing alarm that will sound to alert you to a
potential problem.
Pullout Transformer/Adapter
This unique Kidde alarm feature enables the alarm to be used as a
direct plug unit, a wall mounted unit or a tabletop unit.
9 Volt Backup Battery
This CO alarm is not battery operated. The 9 volt battery is to supply a
short-term backup power during a power cut. In the event of a power cut,
a fully charged 9 volt battery will continue operating the alarm for at least
20 hours.
When installing a fresh battery, use either an Energizer 522, Duracell MX1604
or MN1604, or for extended battery life an Ultralife lithium power cell model
U9VL. Any of these batteries can usually be purchased where you bought the
alarm or at your local hardware store.
