Kidde's KN-COB-IC hardwire carbon monoxide alarm with battery backup is interconnectable with 23 other devices for comprehensive coverage.

FeaturesThe KN-COB-IC is an essential device to help warn you and your family of dangerous carbon monoxide levels in your home. This alarm measures the exposure to carbon monoxide over time; it is designed to sound at 85 decibels at 10 feet when it detects 70 ppm (parts per million) of CO for 60 to 240 minutes, 150 ppm for 10 to 50 minutes, or 400 ppm for 4 to 15 minutes. The added benefit of being able to interconnect this unit with up to 23 other Kidde devices—such as other CO alarms, smoke detectors, and heat sensors—all on one wiring network delivers extensive protection against fire and carbon monoxide (as well as peace of mind). The 9-volt battery backup provides continuous security if the power goes out. An LED lighting system on the unit signals power levels and sourcing: The green LED is steadily on when AC power is present and will flash every 7 seconds when in battery-only mode; the red LED will flash in unison with the sounder pattern for both a smoke or CO incident, and it will flash once per 30 seconds if the alarm needs service or be steadily on if the alarm is in error mode; and the amber LED will illuminate if the unit is the originating alarm in a CO incident. This device has an expected 7-year lifespan and comes equipped with a 5-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Costumer Reviews

I ordered three alarms in May 2011 and all three alarms have manufacturing date of 2008. These alarms typically expire in 7 years from the date they were manufactured. This means I'll now have to replace the alarms in 4 years. This is unfortunate that the seller is not giving full information about the product.

This detector really does have a seven year life span, though I don't understand why if they haven't changed the technology. After almost exactly seven years, within days of each other, my two alarms went off and displayed the ERR message. It would be nice if there was a warning of the approaching demise so one could be prepared with a new one on hand to install as soon as the old one dies. I am unhappy having to go without a CM detector during these winter nights while I wait for the news ones to come in the mail. Otherwise, seems to work fine.
