Peak Level Memory; Understanding Peak And Alarm Memory Signals - Kidde KN-COSM-B-RF User Manual

Initiating Alarm
The green LED will flash every second while sounding an alarm
to signify that the alarm sensed a smoke or CO hazard. This
will only be displayed on the alarms that sensed the hazard.
The remaining interconnected alarm(s) will sound but will not
display the initiating indicator.
Alarm Memory Condition
The green LED will flash every 16 seconds signifying that the
alarm sensed a smoke or CO hazard. It will continue to flash
every 16 seconds until the test/reset button is pressed, thus
announcing the hazard and resetting the alarm.
If a smoke condition was detected, the alarm will chirp followed
by the voice "Fire! "

Understanding Peak and Alarm Memory Signals

• If 100ppm or more CO was previously detected, there is no
LED indicator, but pushing the test button will give the Peak
Level Memory voice message mentioned above.
• If a CO alarm previously occurred, the green LED will flash
every 16 seconds (Alarm Memory). Pushing the test button
will clear CO Alarm Memory and initiate the test sequence.
• If 100ppm or more CO was detected, and a smoke alarm
also occurred, the green LED will flash every 16 seconds
(alarm memory). Pushing the test button will give the Smoke
Alarm Memory "Fire!" message, and will clear smoke alarm
memory. Pushing the test button a second time will give the
Peak Level Memory voice message and clear Peak Level
Memory. A third button push will initiate the test sequence.
• If a CO alarm (with less than 100ppm) and a smoke alarm
occurred, the green LED will flash every 16 seconds (alarm
memory). Pushing the test button will give the Smoke
Alarm Memory "Fire!" message, and will clear smoke alarm
memory. The green LED will continue to flash every 16
seconds, alerting you of the previous CO alarm. Pushing the
test button a second time will clear CO alarm memory and
initiate the test sequence.
