Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector, Plug-In with 9V Battery Backup, Digital Display, 85 dB Alarm, LED Status Light Indicators, Edition 3

Overview

The Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector is a plug‑in device designed for monitoring the presence of carbon monoxide in the living environment. It features a digital display, an 85 dB alarm, LED status light indicators, and a 9‑volt battery backup. This is the third edition of the model, reflecting the latest iteration in Kidde’s line of carbon monoxide detectors.

Plug‑In Design

The unit is intended to be connected directly to a standard electrical outlet. The plug‑in design allows the detector to draw power continuously while the building’s electrical supply is available. When the main power is lost, the built‑in battery backup takes over to maintain operation.

9‑Volt Battery Backup

When power is interrupted, the detector switches to a 9‑volt battery that keeps the sensor and alarm functioning. This backup ensures that the detector remains operational during brief or extended power outages.

Digital Display

A clear digital display shows the current carbon monoxide level. The display provides a numeric readout that indicates the concentration of carbon monoxide in parts per million (ppm). The screen updates to reflect the detector’s readings in real time.

85 dB Alarm

The alarm on the unit delivers a sound level of 85 decibels (dB). When the detector senses a dangerous level of carbon monoxide, the alarm activates to alert occupants of a potential hazard.

LED Status Light Indicators

Three LED lights on the front of the unit serve as status indicators. Each light conveys a specific state of the detector:

• Power Indicator – Illuminates to show the unit is receiving power from the outlet.
• Battery Indicator – Signals when the backup battery is active.
• Alarm Indicator – Lights up during alarm activation.

Edition 3 Features

This version of the detector is labeled as Edition 3. The edition number denotes the current series within the product line, indicating that the design incorporates updates made after the first and second editions.

Installation and Maintenance

For proper installation, the detector should be mounted on a wall or placed on a flat surface that is not obstructed by furniture or other objects. The unit is powered by plugging it into an outlet, and the device will begin functioning automatically. Users can verify functionality by pressing the test button on the front of the detector. The digital display will show a reading and the LED lights will respond accordingly.

Usage Guidelines

While the detector is designed to monitor carbon monoxide levels, it is not intended as a substitute for professional safety equipment. The device should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Users should consult the instruction manual for detailed guidance on installation, testing, and battery replacement if applicable.

Warranty and Support

The product includes standard warranty coverage as provided by Kidde. For assistance or technical support, users may reference the documentation supplied with the detector or contact Kidde customer service directly.
