Battery Operated Combination
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Alarm
Part Number 900-0102A Model KN-COSM-BA
Description
The Kidde 900-0102A Combination Carbon Monoxide & Smoke
Alarm provides two important safety devices in a single unit. This
alarm includes a voice warning system that announces “Fire,
Carbon Monoxide, Low Battery and Smart Hush
TM
Activation.”
The voice alarm eliminates any confusion and clearly warns you
and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger, or if your
battery is in need of replacement. This technologically advanced
combination alarm is battery operated protecting you and your
family even during a power outage when many incidences occur.
The 900-0102A is an easy to install alarm that is suitable for all liv-
ing areas and has a 10-year life and a 10-year limited warranty.
This alarm uses ionization 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 flam-
ing fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing
alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smol-
dering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
Alarm Warnings
Fire: The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long
alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning message “FIRE!”. The
alarm pattern will repeat 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: If any form of battery failure is detected the red
LED light will flash and the unit will “chirp” once every 60 sec-
onds for at least 7 days. The “LOW BATTERY” voice occurs once
every 15 minutes. The green LED will also be flashing twice per
second.
Voice Hush Indication: “HUSH MODE ACTIVATED” and “HUSH
MODE CANCELLED” voice announcement.
Peak Level Memory: If the alarm had detected a CO level of
100ppm or higher, the unit will announce “CARBON MONOXIDE
PREVIOUSLY DETECTED” to warn of the CO incident, when the Test/
Reset button is pressed.
Features and Benefits
• Voice Alarm – Announces the hazard type detected thereby helping to
speed up the correct reaction to the hazard detected. Alarm announces
“Fire!” when a smoke or fire hazard is detected and announces
“Warning Carbon Monoxide” when a CO hazard is detected.
• Combined Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm – A single unit
can be installed where previously, two were needed. Reduces installa
-
tion time and helps to keep home décor attractive.
• Test/Reset Button – Tests alarm circuitry and triggers the voice
announcement.
• LEDs – Flashing green for normal operation and flashing red for
alarm condition.
• Low Battery Warning – The unit warns of a low battery condition
by announcing “low battery” and by initiating an alarm chirp and
activating a flashing red LED.
• Battery Powered – Provides protection even during power outages
when many fire and carbon monoxide incidents occur.
• Battery Safeguard – The battery door will not close unless the
batteries are properly installed.
• Hush
®
Feature – Temporarily silences nuisance alarms.
• Ionization Smoke Alarm Sensor
