The Kidde Front-Loading Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm (part# CP9000) offers protection from two hazards – fire and CO – in one unit. This 9-volt battey powered alarm emits a beeping tone followed by a voice warning that clearly announces the danger by saying, “Fire! Fire!” or “Warning! Carbon Monoxide!” The uniquely designed front-loading battery compartment makes battery replacement quick and easy, and ensures proper installation. Manufactured with a photoelectric sensor for detecting smoke and fire, this alarm also includes the world’s most accurate CO sensing technology based on claims by major manufacturers.

Features & Benefits

• Front-Loading Battery-Speeds up replacement by eliminating the need to remove the unit from the ceiling or wall.
• Unique Battery Door Design-Will not close if battery is not installed properly.
• Voice Warning-Supplements warning from the traditional 85-decibel alarm by clearly stating the danger present, fire or carbon monoxide.
• Photoelectric smoke sensor-May detect visible fire particles associated with slow smoldering fires sooner than an ionization sensor.
• Electrochemical CO sensor-Provides accurate and continual CO protection during the product’s life, remains stable during temperature and humidity changes and resists reactions to household gases that may cause false readings or reduce sensitivity.
• Smart Touch Button-One button performs the following functions:
  – Activates the Hush® feature to temporarily silence nuisance alarms (will announce “Hush mode activated,” or “Hush mode cancelled.”)
  – Simultaneously tests the unit’s electronics and verifies proper operation
  – Activates the peak level memory feature (will announce “CO previously detected” if unit has detected levels of 100 ppm or higher)
  – Resets the unit during a CO alarm (Unit will re-enter alarm within 6 minutes of reset if 70ppm or more of CO is present).
  – Silences end of life chirp for two days at a time, up to 30 days maximum.
• Tamper Resistant-Unit will lock to mounting bracket and battery door will lock to deter theft or tampering.
• Green LED-Will flash every 30 seconds to indicate proper operation.
• Red LED-Flashes in conjunction with the alarm sounding.
• End of Life Signal– Ten years after initial power, the unit will “chirp” twice every 30 seconds to indicate the need to immediately replace the alarm.
• Low Battery Signal-Will chirp every minute and red LED will flash to indicate low battery condition.

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 unit is reset or smoke is eliminated.

• Carbon Monoxide:

  Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE!” After four minutes the alarm/voice pattern will sound once every minute 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 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. This cycle will continue for at least 7 days.

• Voice Hush Indication:

  “HUSH MODE ACTIVATED” and “HUSH MODE CANCELLED” voice announcement

• Alarm Memory:

  The green LED will blink once every 16 seconds to alert a user when the unit has alarmed for smoke or has detected a hazardous concentration of CO. If the alarm has detected a CO level of 100 ppm or greater, when the Test/Reset button is pressed the unit will announce “CO PREVIOUSLY DETECTED.” If the alarm has detected abnormal levels of smoke since its last test, it will produce three rapid beeps. This alarm uses photoelectric sensing technology. Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various 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.
