Carbon onoxide Alarm Procedure

When the CO alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit

will emit a loud alarm pattern.

WARNING! – Actuation of this device indicates

the presence of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide!

Carbon monoxide can be fatal! If the alarm sounds:

1) Operate the test/reset button;

2a) Call the Gas Emergency

Services.

2b) If you believe that the

source of carbon monoxide is not a gas appliance,

contact either;

Oftec (oil) - 0845 658 580

HETAS (solid fuel) - 0800 600 000

3) Immediately move to fresh air outdoors. Do a head count

to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-

enter the premises until gas emergency services have

arrived, the premises has been aired out, and your alarm

remains in its normal condition.

4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within

a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified Gas

Safe registered installer to examine and/or turn off your

gas/oil fired appliances, such as space heater, boiler, water

heater, cooker, oven, clothes dryer, or other sources of

combustion, such as paraffin burning stove or heater or

gas log fireplace. If your car is idling in an attached garage

turn off the engine.

WARNING: Actuation of your CO

Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon

Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.

Welcome

Note: any times throughout this User’s Guide, we will refer to Carbon

onoxide as “CO”.

Your new Kidde Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is a sophisticated instrument that has

been carefully designed and tested to detect CO build up in a residential

environments. Your alarm is for use specifically in the home.

CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of CO in the

blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin 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 CO are malfunctioning, or misuse of, gas appliances

used for heating and cooking, vehicles engines, electric generators, blocked

chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and

operating a grill in an enclosed space.

Indications of CO 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 unborn

babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or

respiratory problems may experience symptoms sooner. Each year a qualified as

Safe (gas) or Hetas (solid fuel) engineer should inspect and clean your heating

system, vents, chimney, and flues.

Your new Kidde CO alarm has a seven year warranty. Please take a few minutes to

thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarize 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.

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

General Carbon Monoxi e Information

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can

be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.

Periodically review this alarm manual and discuss your CO alarm

emergency procedure with all the members of your family. Never ignore a

CO alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of

CO. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO before an

emergency – before most people would experience symptoms of CO

poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly.

Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO

poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while

victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are

unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for

assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first

affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons

from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at

levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and should

be discussed with ALL members of the household.

ild Exposure:

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like”

symptoms).

edium Exposure:

Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure:

Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your

doctor immediately!

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

Carbon Monoxi e PPM Levels

(model KN-COPP-B-LS-UK (900-0230) with digital display only)

Model KN-COPP-B-LS-UK (900-0230) 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. Anytime someone is experiencing

the symptoms of CO poisoning this should be treated as an emergency.

See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

High Levels:

enerally above 100 PPM, with no one experiencing symptoms. This

should be treated as an urgent situation. See “What to do When the

Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

id Levels:

enerally between 50 PPM to 100 PPM. This should be cause for concern

and should not be ignored or dismissed. See “What to do When the

Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).

Low Levels:

enerally below 50 PPM. Kidde recommends you take action to eliminate

the source of CO. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front

cover).

I PORTANT: odel KN-COB-B-LS-UK (900-0233) does not have a

digital display and does not display carbon monoxide levels in

PP . If the alarm sounds, it should be treated as a potentially

serious condition. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside

front cover).

Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxi e

Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most

likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also

produce dangerous levels of CO.

CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline,

propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-

burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not

ventilated correctly, such as:

• Automobiles, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water

heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters and generators, fireplaces,

wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.

2522-7206-00(820-1727 A)-R1:Layout 1 2009.8.19 6:51 PM Page 6

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure,

corroded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or cracked furnace

exchangers.

• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an open or closed

garage, attached or near a home.

• Burning charcoal or fuel in grills and hibachis in an enclosed area.

Con itions That Can Pro uce Carbon Monoxi e

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused

by outdoor ambient conditions, such as, wind direction and/or velocity,

including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air

with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing

for limited internal air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or

water heaters.

• Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can amplify

the above situations.

• Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven,

fireplace, etc.).

• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground.

• Vehicle idling in an open or closed garage, or near a home.

To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel-

burning appliances and their chimneys and vents in good working

condition. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO

poisoning, move outside to fresh air and get emergency help. Your first

line of defence is an annual inspection and regular maintenance of your

appliances. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local utility company

for assistance.

Information About Carbon Monoxi e Alarms –

What They Can an Cannot Do:

CO alarms provide early warning of the presence of CO, usually before a

healthy adult would experience symptoms. This early warning is possible,

however, only if your CO alarm is located, installed and maintained as

described in this guide.

2522-7206-00(820-1727 A)-R1:Layout 1 2009.8.19 6:51 PM Page 7

1. Information About Carbon onoxide

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.

This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not

prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem. If

your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventilation by leaving your

windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated by the

time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be temporarily

solved, it’s crucial that the source of the CO is determined and that the

appropriate repairs are made.

This CO alarm is designed to act as a monitor; it is not designed for use

as a short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the presence

of CO.

CO alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms

are not fool-proof. CO alarms have a limited operational life. You must

test your CO alarm weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time.

If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a

malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This alarm will not

monitor CO levels while in an error condition.

CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It’s possible

that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The

rate and ability that which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by:

• Doors or other obstructions.

• Fresh air from a vent, an open window or other source.

• CO being present on one level of the home and not reach a CO alarm

installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may not

reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms).

For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by

placing a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all

information in sections 2 and 3 on properly installing this CO alarm.

CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas

(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels.

Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise interfere with the

alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.

Recommen e Installation Locations

CO alarms should be mounted in or

near bedrooms and living areas. It is

recommended that you install a Kidde

CO alarm on each level of your home.

When choosing your installation

locations, make sure you can hear the

alarm from all sleeping areas. If you

install only one CO alarm in your

home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

• When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no

circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.

• Placing the alarm at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the

digital display.
