Step 5: Peak Level Memory - Kidde KN-COSM-B User Manual

Operating and Installation Instructions
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condi-
tion, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. You
can put your Smoke/CO Alarm in Hush mode by pushing
®
the test/reset button. If the smoke is not too dense, the
alarm will silence immediately and the green LED light will
flash every 2 seconds for approximately 10 minutes. This
indicates that the smoke alarm is in a temporarily desensi-
tized condition. Your Smoke/CO Alarm will automatically
reset after approximately 10 minutes. When the unit returns
to normal operation after being in Hush mode the alarm
®
will sound if smoke is still present. The Hush feature can
®
be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm. While the unit is in Hush ®
mode, pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will also
end the Hush period.
®
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CON-
®
TROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH ® FEA-
TURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE
CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

Step 5: Peak Level Memory

If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 100 PPM or
higher since last reset, it will be recorded by the Peak Level
Memory function. To access the Peak Level Memory press
the test/reset button. If a reading of 100 PPM or higher has
been recorded the unit will chirp 8 times. If you've been
away from home this feature allows you to check if there
was a CO reading of 100 PPM, or higher, during your
absence. Pushing the test/reset button resets the memory.
It's also reset when batteries are removed.
