Part Number 900-0114A Model KN-COSM-IBA
Description
The Kidde 900-0114A uses breakthrough technology to offer a fast
response to real fires, including smoldering and fast-flaming, as well as
protect you from carbon monoxide and dramatically reduce the chance of
nuisance alarms. The Intelligent sensor technology combines the detec-
tion capabilities of an ionization smoke sensor – which is more likely to
detect smaller, less visible fire particles, like those produced by flaming
fires – with that of an electrochemical sensor, which is used to detect
CO. Since carbon monoxide is present in all fires, having both detection
chambers work together in one alarm is a breakthrough in the fire safety
industry. When either sensor notices a potential hazard, it will communi-
cate with the other. Depending on what is detected, the alarm will adjust
its smoke sensitivity in order to better discriminate between a real hazard
and a false one. This constant communication enhances the alarm’s over-
all performance in all fires, and significantly reduces the potential for a
nuisance alarm.
Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric
smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the vari-
ous types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization sensing
alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires)
sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect
visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than
ionization alarms.
Alarm Warnings
Fire: The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long alarm
beeps followed by a verbal warning message “FIRE!”. The alarm pattern
will repeat 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 the 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 at least
seven days. Under battery power, the “LOW BATTERY” voice only occurs
once every 15 minutes.
Voice Hush Indication: “HUSH MODE ACTIVATED” and “HUSH MODE
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.
Features and Benefits
• Smart Interconnect
TM
– Interconnects up to 24 Kidde devices (of
which 18 can be initiating).
• Battery Backup (2-AA batteries included) – Provides protection
during power outages.
• Front Loading Battery Door – Replace the backup batteries with-
out disconnecting from mounting bracket
• Battery Lockout System – The battery door will not close unless
the batteries are properly installed.
• Alarm Tamper Resist – Helps deter from tampering and theft.
• Adjustable Mounting Bracket – Makes installation fast and
easy. Works with existing smoke and combination smoke and
CO mounting brackets.
• Peak Level Memory – Announces “CARBON MONOXIDE
PREVIOUSLY DETECTED” if alarm has detected a CO level of
100ppm or higher since it was last reset.
• Hush
TM
Feature – Silences nuisance alarms for approximately 9
minutes. (Smoke must be present before Hush
TM
is activated)
• Ionization Sensor Technology – Ideal for detecting fast flaming
and other types of fires.
• Test Button Functions: – Tests the unit for proper operation
– Peak Level memory – Resets the Carbon Monoxide alarm
• Green LED – Illuminates to indicate the unit is receiving AC power.
Flashes once every 60 seconds to indicate battery only mode. Flashes
once per second during alarm to indicate initiating alarm. Flashes
once every 16 seconds to indicate smoke or CO previously detected.
Flashes every 2 seconds while the alarm is in HUSH
TM
mode.
• Red LED – When a dangerous level of smoke or carbon monoxide
is detected the red LED will flash.
If the unit malfunctions, the red
LED will flash and the unit will
chirp every 30 seconds.
Voice Warning
Warns of hazard by announcing “Fire!” or “Warning, Carbon Monoxide”.
Peak Level Memory
Alerts user when the unit has detected CO concentrations of 100ppm or higher.
Hush
TM
Button
Silences the unit during nuisance alarm situations.
(Smoke must be present before hush is activated)
Two LED’s
Red LED indicates alarm mode, Green LED indicates AC power is present.
Test/Reset Button Functions
• Tests the units electronics and resets the unit during CO alarm.
• Activates Hush Feature and Peak Level Memory.
Adjustable Mounting Bracket
