Thank you for the purchase of your new Kidde carbon
monoxide alarm. If you have any questions about the
operation or setup of your CO alarm, feel free to call us
on 0800 917 0722
Your new Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is a sophisticated
instrument that has been carefully designed and tested to assure
accurate detection of CO build up in a residential environment. Your
alarm is for use specifically in the home.
Carbon monoxide cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal.
The build up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhaemoglobin
level and interferes with the body’s ability to supply itself with
oxygen. Depending on the concentration, carbon monoxide can kill
in minutes.
The most common sources of carbon monoxide are malfunctioning
gas appliances used for heating and cooking, vehicles running in an
attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning
heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an
enclosed space. Any fuel that burns can produce carbon monoxide.
Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar
to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness,
fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and
confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but experts
agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, old age
pensioners and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the
highest risk for serious injury or death or anyone that spends large
amounts of time at home. Each year a qualified Corgi (gas) or Hetas
(solid fuel) engineer should inspect and clean your heating system,
vents, chimney, and flues.
Your new Kidde CO alarm has a five year warranty. Please take a few
minutes to thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarise yourself
and your family with its operation. Your Kidde CO alarm was
designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of
combustion. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO DETECT SMOKE, FIRE OR
ANY OTHER GASES. If you have any questions please call us on
01753 685148.

Carbon Monoxide Overview
Remove the three enclosed AA batteries and install them into the
battery well. Carefully place the red battery warning flags into
the battery well. Observe the battery polarity markings at the
bottom of the battery well.
When the batteries are first installed, the unit will beep once and
the red alarm light will flash. After approximately 20-30 seconds
the green light will flash indicating that the unit is operational.
Replace battery cover.
Your Kidde CO alarm is now operational.

Quick Set Up
IMPORTANT
A small screwdriver or similar tool may be required
when opening the battery compartment cover. This should
be levered from the lip at the bottom of the cover.
The cover is designed this way to discourage the
removal of batteries, or tampering, by young children.
Installation Location
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can
hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one
carbon monoxide alarm in your home, install the alarm near
bedrooms, not in the cellar or boiler room.

Installation Instructions
Recommended Location
Upper Levels of Home
Cellar Levels of Home
•If you have only one alarm, place it near sleeping areas.
•Position near fuel burning appliances, near fireplaces,
boilers or hot water heater.
Mounting
Your CO alarm is designed for
mounting onto the inside wall.
You should fix the back plate
provided to the wall first, using
the screws and rawl plugs.
When the plate is attached
locate the the slots on the
back of the alarm with the keys on the
back plate, sliding downwards and into position until the
tab clips onto the top of the alarm (see figure 1).
To remove, press the tab against the wall and lift the alarm out of the
mounting plate.
Install your CO alarm 1.5 metres from the floor.
NOTE: Your 9CO5 CO alarm is not designed for portability.
Where To Install Your Kidde CO Alarm
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the
placement and installation of your Kidde CO alarm.
• Place out of the reach of children. Under no circumstance
should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
• Install in a bedroom or hallway located close to the sleeping
area. Take special care to verify the alarm can be heard in
sleeping areas.
• It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each
level of a multilevel home.
• Locate at least 2 metres away from all fuel burning
appliances.
• Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the
red and green indicator lights, or, as a guide, 1.5 metres
from the floor.

Installation Instructions
Figure 1
• Ensure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed.
• Do not install in dead air spaces such as peaks of vaulted
ceilings, or gabled roofs.
• Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans.
Do not place near fresh air vents or close to doors and
windows that open to the outside.
• Keep the CO alarm away from excessively dusty, dirty, or
greasy areas such as kitchens, garages and boiler or utility
rooms. Dust, grease and household chemicals can affect
the sensor.
• Keep out of damp and humid areas such as the bathroom.
Avoid spraying aerosols near the CO alarm.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is below
40˚F (4.4˚C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚C).
• Do not place behind curtains or furniture. CO must be able
to reach the sensor for the unit to accurately detect carbon
monoxide. NEVER place the CO alarm flat on a table top
or similar surface.
• Be aware that certain conditions can result in transient
CO situations, such as: 1) Excessive spillage or reverse
venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor
ambient conditions, such as: i) Wind direction and/or
velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the
vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between
cycles). ii) negative pressure differential resulting from the
use of exhaust fans. iii) Simultaneous operation of several
fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
iv) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes
dryers, boilers or water heaters. v) Obstructions in or
unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the
above situations. 2) Extended operation of unvented fuel
burning devices (cooker, oven, fireplace, etc.).
3) Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust near the
ground. 4) Car idling in open or closed garage, or near home.

Installation Instructions (cont.)
Your new Kidde battery powered CO alarm utilises sophisticated
electronic components to protect you and your family from the
dangers of CO. Unique features include red and green diagnostic
lights, battery status, and sensor health. Familiarise yourself with
these features:
Red Alarm Indicator Light
If a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is detected by your
Kidde alarm, the red alarm LED will light continuously and a
loud (85decibel) alarm will sound. See figure 2.
See page 13-14 for an
understanding of which CO
levels are dangerous.
Green Operate Indicator Light
The green light flashing every 30 seconds indicates the unit is
functioning properly (see figure 3).
The green light will flash before a CO reading is taken and
when any button is pressed.
If the unit chirps once every 30 seconds, observe the unit for
the following:
A chirp every 30 seconds, with a green LED flash followed by
a red LED flash, indicates the batteries are low. Follow the
battery installation/replacement instructions on page 9 and 10.
A chirp every 30 seconds, with a red flash and no green LED
flash indicates a unit error. If the unit does not respond, call
Kidde on 0800 917 0722.

Features and Operation
Figure 2
Test/Reset Button
The test/reset button is used to
test the unit’s electronics and to
reset the unit during alarm
(see figure 3).
• Test the unit - To test, press and release the test/reset
button, you should hear one short beep - followed by
5 seconds of silence – followed by a continuous alarm
with a corresponding red LED flash. Familiarise yourself
and family members with the alarm pattern.
Test the unit weekly! If at any time your unit does
not perform as described replace it immediately.
Note: After the test/reset button is pressed, the alarm
sounds and the red alarm light flashes. This does not
indicate that carbon monoxide is present.
Due to the loudness of the alarm we suggest you place your
fingers over the sounder opening when testing your Kidde
CO Alarm.
•Reset the unit - If the alarm is sounding, pressing
the test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If
the CO condition that caused the alert in the first
place continues, the alarm will reactivate.
Reactivation times depend on the amount of CO
that caused the CO alarm to initially alarm and the
amount of CO present after resetting the alarm
(see page 11, Alarm Instructions/Emergency
Response).
WARNING: Tampering with your 9CO5 CO alarm,
may cause malfunction. Please follow manufacturers
instructions at all times.

Features and Operation (cont.)
Figure 3
Since batteries are not installed in the unit at the factory, you will
need to install them. Your Kidde unit will continue to remind
you to change the batteries for up to seven days after low
batteries are detected.
WARNING: Your Kidde CO alarm will not be operational
and will not monitor for CO levels without the
installation of three charged AA batteries.
Your Kidde CO alarm monitors for battery failure such as bad
or corroded connections, sudden battery failure and other
causes. If the alarm senses any form of battery failure,
the unit will start chirping an audible alarm every 30
seconds, the green and red alarm light will flash.
The battery error warning will continue until new batteries are
placed in the unit, or until the remaining batteries become
completely exhausted.
Three AA batteries have been included with your purchase.
When replacing the batteries, we recommend use of the
following for a minimum of one year normal operation:
• Duracell MN1500 • Camelion Mignon LR6-AM3-1.5
• Energizer E91 • Rayovac 815
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
NOTE:
Ensure that you observe the polarities required during
installation. Incorrect battery insertion will make your
CO alarm inoperable.
