Intelligent Alarm
Battery Operated Combination
Carbon Monoxide, Fire & Smoke Alarm
Part Number 900-0216 Model KN-COSM-XTR-B
Description
The Kidde 900-0216 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. In addition, the Intelligent Alarm con-
tains a voice warning that clearly states the present danger – smoke
or carbon monoxide – and announces “Fire! Fire!” or “Warning!
Carbon Monoxide!” The Intelligent Alarm combines the detection
capabilities of an ionization smoke sensor – which is more likely to
detect smaller, less visible fire particles, like those produced by flam-
ing 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 communicate 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 overall performance in all fires,
and significantly reduces the potential for a nuisance alarm.
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 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 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.
Voice Hush Indication: “HUSH ACTIVATED” and “HUSH
CANCELLED” voice announcement.
Peak Level Memory: If the alarm had detected a CO level of
100ppm or higher, the unit will announce “CO PREVIOUSLY
DETECTED” to warn of the CO incident, when the Test/Reset
button is pressed.
Features and Benefits
•VoiceAlarm – Announces the hazard type detected thereby helping to
speed up the correct reaction to the hazard detected. Alarm announces
“Fire Fire” when a smoke or fire hazard is detected and announces
“Warning Carbon Monoxide” when a CO hazard is detected.
•CombinedCarbonMonoxideandSmokeAlarm – A single unit
can be installed where previously, two were needed. Reduces
installation time and helps to keep home décor attractive.
•Test/ResetButton – Tests alarm circuitry and triggers the voice
announcement.
•LEDs – Two LEDs are provided. Flashing green for normal operation
and flashing red for alarm condition.
•LowBatteryWarning – The unit warns of a low battery condition
by announcing “low battery” and by initiating an alarm chirp and
activating a flashing red LED.
•BatteryPowered – Provides protection even during power outages
when many fire and carbon monoxide incidents occur.
•BatterySafeguard – Ensures the unit
cannot be accidentally mounted
without batteries installed.
•Hush
®
Feature – Temporarily silences
nuisance alarms.
