The KN-COSM-IB combines a Carbon Monoxide and Ionization Smoke
Alarm, providing two important safety devices in a single unit. This
alarm includes a voice warning system that helps eliminate confusion,
as it tells you if its detected fire or carbon monoxide, or even if it
needs a new battery. This alarm has 9 volt battery backup, which
protects you and your family - even during a power outage when many
incidences occur. The alarm also allows you to easily silence nuisance
alarms using its convenient
Smart Hush feature. This talking
combo alarm is powered by your home’s electricity and can interconnect
with other smoke alarms in your home. Experts recommend interconnected
alarms, because when one sounds, they all sound, providing an early
warning against fire by dramatically increasing your ability to hear an
alarm anywhere in your home, regardless of where the fire starts.

Combination Smoke/CO Alarm for Improved Safety
The Kidde Combination Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Alarm includes a
voice warning system that eliminates confusion and clearly warns you
and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger, or if your battery
is in need of replacement or your alarm is in hush mode.
Alarm Warnings Fire:
The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long alarm beeps
followed by a verbal warning message “Fire! Fire!” The alarm will repeat
pattern until smoke is eliminated.
Carbon Monoxide:
Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning “Warning! Carbon
Monoxide!” This continues until the unit is reset or CO is eliminated.
Low Battery:
One chirp followed by warning “Low Battery” The red LED light will
flash. This pattern will continue every minute for the first hour. After
the first hour the red LED light will flash once every minute
accompanied by the chirp sound. The low battery warning will only sound
once every fifteen minutes.
Voice Hush Indication: “Hush Activated” and “Hush Cancelled” voice announcement
Peak Level Memory:
If the alarm had detected a CO level of 100ppm or higher when the
Test/Reset button is pressed, the unit will announce “Carbon Monoxide
Previously Detected” to warn of the CO incident.
Inter-connectable for Improved Safety
Fire and consumer experts recommend interconnected alarms for added
protection. According to the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), most Americans feel they are more at risk of being a victim of a
tornado than of a house fire. Actually the opposite is true. Fires are
more common than any other disaster that strikes a family at home, and
can become deadly in minutes.
You have on average less than three
minutes from the time you hear a smoke alarm to escape a fire. The
sooner you hear an alarm, the sooner you can get out safely. Smoke
alarms that link together so that when one goes off, they all go off,
are called interconnected alarms. These alarms provide more warnings in
more places, giving your family more time to escape a house fire. Houses
built after 1993 are required by building codes to have interconnected
alarms that are wired into their electrical system.
Trademarked Hush Feature for Convenience
By pressing the Hush button, you can easily and safely silence nuisance
alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked dinners.
This
feature desensitizes the alarm for approximately ten minutes. If the
smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately, the unit
will verbally announce “Hush Mode Activated,” and the green LED will
flash every 2 seconds for approximately 10 minutes.
Reliable 9-Volt Battery Backup, Indicator LED, Test Feature, Low Battery and End-of-Life Warning
The
alarm’s 9-volt battery backup provides continuous protection, even
during power outages. Because this alarm only helps protect you if it's
working, this unit features a red LED that flashes every 30 to 40
seconds to indicate that it is operating correctly. For additional peace
of mind, the alarm also contains a test/reset button that enables you
to periodically test its circuitry and horn.
If any form of
battery failure is detected the red LED light will flash and the unit
will “chirp” one time, followed by the warning message “Low Battery.”
This cycle will occur once every minute, and will continue for at least
seven days.
Seven (7) years after initial 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. UL
2034, the independent standard applicable to CO alarms, requires CO
alarms to have an end of life warning. This requirement went into
effect in March 2007, meaning any CO alarm manufactured after April 2007
with a UL listing must have this feature. Most states that require CO
alarms in residential dwellings mandate that the alarm meet the UL 2034
standard.
The unit measures just 5.75 inches in diameter and 1.7
inches deep, and it features a neutral, white finish. It includes tamper
resist features to deter vandalism or theft. This combination smoke/CO
alarm is UL listed, so you can be confident of its quality, and it is
backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

From the Manufacturer
The leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in North America,
Carbon Monoxide is odorless, tasteless and invisible. It is a silent
killer. Kidde CO alarms include the most accurate sensing technology
available, the patented Nighthawk electrochemical sensor. This unit
combines a Carbon Monoxide and Ionization Smoke Alarm, providing two
important safety devices in a single unit. This alarm includes a voice
warning system that announces "Fire, Carbon Monoxide, Low Battery or
Smart Hush Activation." The voice alarm eliminates any confusion and
clearly warns you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger,
or if your battery is in need of replacement. This unit is hardwired and
will work with many interconnected systems. This combination alarm has
battery backup, protecting you and your family even during a power
outage when many incidences occur. Install at least one CO alarm on
every floor and in sleeping areas. Make sure CO and Smoke alarms are at
least 15 feet away from cooking or heating appliances to prevent false
alarms. Replace CO alarms every 5 to 7 years to benefit from the latest
technology upgrades. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles associated with fast flaming fires sooner than Photoelectric
alarms. Studies show both types will effectively detect either type of
fire. For optimal protection, install both smoke alarm technologies in
your home.
