Page 3: Important Warning Statements
Note: Many times throughout this User 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, 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 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-10YH 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.

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-10YH is operating, the digital display will display “0” (with AC applied) to indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm senses dangerous levels of CO, the digital display will alternate between "CO"... - Page 13 6. Operating Characteristics This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30 PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds. When the unit is first powered up, the digital display will show three “eights” – indicating the alarm is in the start-up mode.
