8. Maintenance
NOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your
fingers over the sounder opening while testing your alarm.
CAUTION: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this
alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
Testing
To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is operating
properly, you should hear 4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of
silence – followed by 4 quick beeps. (For model KN-COP-IC with digi-
tal display: The display will show three “eights” and then show a num-
ber – usually around 200). The red LED will flash along with the beeps
and the amber LED will illuminate. Within several seconds the unit will
return to monitor for CO.
If interconnected to Kidde smoke alarms, pressing the Test/Reset button
on the CO alarm will have no effect on the smoke alarms. The smoke
alarms will not be tested and will not alarm. However, when pressing
the Test button on an interconnected smoke alarm, the CO alarm will
emit a Smoke/Fire audible and visual alarm pattern of 3 long beeps, 1
second of silence, repeated. NOTE: You do not need to press the Test
button to take a CO reading.
Low Battery HUSH
®
CONTROL
When the battery needs to be replaced, the unit will produce a low battery
“chirp” once per minute. The Low Battery HUSH
®
feature allows you to
press the button on the alarm producing the warning and disable the
“chirp” for a random period of up to 12 hours. This gives you a chance to
replace the battery at a more convenient time without sacrificing your safety
by disconnecting the alarm from power. During this Low Battery HUSH
®
period, your alarm is performing normally and is not desensitized.
Battery Replacement
These CO alarms are not battery operated. However, these alarms are
equipped with 9 volt battery backup – the 9 volt battery is to supply
short term back-up during a power outage.
When replacing the battery, use one of the following approved brands:
• Duracell MN1604 or MX1604
• Energizer 522
• Goldpeak 1604A
These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a
local hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental
effect on the alarm operation.
The 9 volt battery is not rechargeable. If the 9 volt battery is missing,
