    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.

  • Page 4 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).
  • Page 5: Product Features And Specifications

    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 6: Installation Locations

    (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.
  • Page 7: Installation Instructions

    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. When the Model KN-COB-DP-LS CO alarm loses power: If you have a good 9V battery installed, the alarm will automatically switch to the battery back- up mode and the green LED will flash approximately every 10 seconds.
  • Page 8: Operating Characteristics

    6. Model KN-COP-DP-LS (with digital display) Operating Characteristics Whenever the alarm is operating, the digital display will display “0” to indi- cate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm senses dangerous levels of CO, the digital display will indicate the CO concentration in parts per million (PPM), and the alarm will emit an audible alarm pattern.
  • Page 9 7. Maintenance When replacing the battery, use one of the following approved brands: • Duracell MN1604 or MX1604 • Energizer • Gold Peak GP1604A These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a local hardware store.
