Kidde KN-COSM-BCA - Manual (Page 4)

• Oversized test button for easy activation.
• Test button performs the following functions:
Tests the units electronics and verifies
proper unit operation
Resets the unit during CO alarm
Activates HUSH® Feature (see Page 16).
Peak Level Memory (See Page 17).
• Mounting bracket designed for easy orientation
of unit.
• Green and red LED lights that indicate normal
operation and alarm status.
Green Light: The green Light Emitting Diode (LED)
flashes every 30 seconds to indicate the unit is
operating properly, and once every 2 seconds to
indicate the unit is in HUSH® mode. The green
light also flashes before a CO reading is taken and
when any button is pressed.
Red Light: When a dangerous level of smoke or
carbon monoxide is detected the red Light Emitting
Diode (LED) will flash and the corresponding alarm
pattern (depending on the source) will sound. If
the unit malfunctions, the red LED light will flash
and the unit will chirp every 30 seconds indicating a
system problem.
• Powered by three (3) AA batteries.
• Battery lockout system that prohibits installation
without using three batteries.
• Smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke
and carbon monoxide are present.
• Permanent independent smoke and carbon
monoxide sensors (ionization and electrochemical).
• Loud 85 decibel alarm.
• Alarm/Voice message warning system that specifies
which dangerous condition exists, eliminating any
confusion over which alarm is sounding:
FIRE: The alarm/voice pattern is 8 seconds of alarm
beeps followed by the verbal warning message,
“Fire! Feu!”
This pattern is repeated until the smoke
is eliminated. The red LED light will flash while in
alarm/voice mode.
CARBON MONOXIDE: The alarm/voice pattern is four
short alarm beeps followed by the verbal warning
message, “Carbon Monoxide! Monox y d e de Carbone!”
This continues until the unit is reset or the CO
eliminated. After four minutes the alarm/voice
pattern will sound once every minute. The red
Light Emitting Diode (LED) light will flash while in
alarm/voice mode.
LOW BATTERY: When the batteries are low and need
replacing the red LED light will flash and the unit
will “chirp” one time, followed by the warn i n g
message, “ L ow Battery. P i l e Faible!” This cycle will
occur once every minute for the first hour. After
the first hour the red LED light will continue to flash
every minute accompanied by the "chirp" only
sound. The voice message “ L ow Battery. P i l e
Faible!”
will sound once every fifteen minutes
during the “chirp” only cycle. This will continue for
at least seven days.
• One “chirp” every 30 seconds is an indication that
the alarm is malfunctioning. If this occurs call the
Consumer Hotline at 1-800-880-6788.
NOTE: After seven (7) years of cumulative power up,
this unit will "chirp" every 30 seconds. This is an
"operational end of life" feature which will indicate
that it is time to replace the alarm.
