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

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! Feu!"

Understanding Peak and Alarm Memory Signals

• If 100 ppm 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! Feu!" 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! Feu!"
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.
• If 100 ppm or more CO was detected (Peak Level Memory triggered),
with a previous CO alarm and a smoke alarm, the green LED will
flash every 16 seconds (alarm memory). Pushing the test button will
give the Smoke Alarm Memory "Fire! Feu!" 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,
but the green LED will continue to flash, alerting you of the previous
CO alarm. Pushing the test button a third time will clear CO alarm
memory and initiate the test sequence.
