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. - Page 4 Important Warning Statements 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.

Page 5: Information About Carbon Monoxide
1. 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. - Page 6 1. Information About Carbon Monoxide Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels Model KN-COP-DP-10YLCA 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.
- Page 7 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.
- Page 8 1. Information About Carbon Monoxide 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.

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-10YLCA is operating, the digital display will display “0”(with AC applied) to indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. - Page 13 6. Operating Characteristics 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. This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30 PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds.

Page 14: Peak Level Memory
6. Operating Characteristics 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). -
