The leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in North America, Carbon Monoxide (CO) is odorless, tasteless and invisible – it's a silent killer. The only safe way to know if carbon monoxide is present is to install carbon monoxide detectors (alarms) on every level of your home and in sleeping areas. Kidde has been making CO alarms with electrochemical sensing technology for years.
The Kidde CO120X can be used to activate auxiliary warning devices such as external bells and sirens, hallway or stairway lighting. This relay will only activate when it receives a CO signal from an interconnect Carbon Monoxide Alarm. When in the activated mode (as a result of a CO signal), this device will deactivate if it receives a smoke interconnect signal from a compatible device.
Tamper Resist Feature – Can be activated to cause unit to go into alarm if it has been unplugged or has come loose from the outlet.
2 AA Battery Backup – Provides continuous protection even during power outages.
Low Battery Hush – Silences low battery chirp warning for up to 12 hours in order to maintain protection without having to replace the batteries at an inconvenient time.
Event Memory – If the unit has detected CO concentrations of 100ppm or greater, the green LED will flash every 10 seconds.
Digital Display- Displays the level of CO the unit is sensing. LEDs provide clear daytime visibility that automatically dims in dark conditions.
Peak Level Button- Displays the highest level of CO recorded since last reset. Ideal for checking previous conditions while away or to assist medical responders.
