Frequently Asked Questions - KN-COPP-3 KIDDE
How do I install the KN-COPP-3 carbon monoxide alarm?
Choose a location on a wall or ceiling at least 5 feet from the floor and away from corners. Use the mounting bracket to mark holes, drill, insert anchors, and screw the bracket. Attach the alarm to the bracket and twist to lock. Insert the included 9V battery after removing the pull tab. Press the test button to verify.
What does it mean when the alarm chirps every 30-60 seconds?
A chirp indicates a low battery or a malfunction. Replace the 9V battery immediately. If chirping continues after battery replacement, the unit may need to be replaced. Refer to the user manual for exact trouble codes.
How do I silence a false alarm?
Press the Test/Hush button to temporarily silence the alarm for about 8 minutes. The unit will automatically reset after that. If the CO level is still high, the alarm will sound again. Investigate the source of CO and ventilate the area.
Where should I place the CO alarm for best protection?
Install at least one alarm on each level of your home, especially near sleeping areas. Mount on a wall or ceiling at least 5 feet above the floor but not within 10 feet of combustion appliances like furnaces or water heaters. Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, or damp areas.
How long does the battery last?
The included 9V alkaline battery lasts approximately one year under normal conditions. When the battery is low, the alarm chirps intermittently to alert you. Replace with a fresh 9V battery (alkaline or lithium) annually or immediately when the low-battery chirp starts.
How do I test the alarm?
Press and hold the Test/Hush button for 5 seconds. The alarm will sound a loud 85 dB tone and the red LED will flash. If no sound or weak sound, replace the battery or the unit. Test weekly.
What is the lifespan of the KN-COPP-3?
The carbon monoxide sensor has a life of about 7 years. The alarm will emit an end-of-life warning (chirps) at that time. Replace the entire unit immediately after 7 years from the date of purchase.
Can I paint the alarm?
No, painting the alarm can block the vents and sensor openings, causing malfunction. Keep the alarm clean and free of dust, but do not paint or cover it.
What should I do when the alarm sounds for CO?
Immediately move everyone to fresh air outdoors. Do not re-enter until the alarm stops. Call emergency services (911) and inform them of a possible CO leak. If the alarm sounds again after silence, evacuate and call a professional to inspect appliances.
How do I clean the alarm?
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently clean the vents and sides of the alarm once a month. Do not use water, solvents, or cleaners. Ensure the alarm is powered (battery connected) during cleaning.
