CO ALARM SENSOR RESPONSE TIMES
At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes.
At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes.
At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes.
POSSIBLE CHIRPING REASONS
End of Unit Life: will be suppressed at night
Network Error: will be suppressed at night
Low battery: will be suppressed at night
12. Operation and Testing
Operation
The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is
complete. When products of combustion (smoke or CO) are
sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm with voice messages. (See
Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions). In high levels of
CO, the unit will go into alarm in a shorter period of time than
at low levels of CO.
Indoor Air Quality
This device is designed to monitor levels of temperature, relative humidity and total volatile organic compounds
(TVOC) – chemicals in the air that can impact your health. Visit www.epa.org for more information on VOCs. Relative
Humidity % (RH) refers to the percentage of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. Ideal RH for living con-
ditions is usually recommended at 30% - 60%. The parameters listed below are based on a typical average, climate
controlled residence. When conditions in the residence move outside of the limits shown in the table, an alert is sent
to your mobile device. You can also check the status of your indoor air quality using the Kidde app, after your alarm is
registered with the app.
Indoor Air Quality Parameters
NOTE: The indoor air quality monitor may not react to some particles and its readings may be different from that of
other air quality measuring products and instruments.
Testing
Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the button quickly. A
quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed followed by voice
prompts that will inform you of the upcoming test sequence. See Other
Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm and voice (and any
interconnected units) will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, speaker, and battery are working. If the alarm test
sequence does not sound, it is possible that the Wi-Fi connection has been lost. See Troubleshooting Guide and
check your Wi-Fi connection. If the Wi-Fi connection is stable, and if the alarm or voice does not sound, or gives
