Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kidde AC/DC direct plug-in carbon monoxide alarm with battery backup (model KN-COB-LCB-A) provides you and your family with a warning signal to protect against dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in your home. With an increasing number of state and local governments passing legislation requiring CO detectors in homes, it's never been a better time to safeguard your family against carbon monoxide exposure.

KN-COB-LCB-A CarbonMonoxide Alarm with Battery BackupAt a Glance:

  • Mounts to any wall outlet

  • Alarm sounds if unit is unplugged or comes loose from outlet

  • 9-volt battery backup for continuous protection even during power outages

  • Loud 85-decibel alert when deadly CO gas is present

  • Five-year limited warranty

Features

It easily installs in any AC wall outlets, and it includes a battery backup (9-volt battery included) that provides protection even during power outages, when many CO incidences occur. The KN-COB-LCB-A uses advanced electrochemical sensing technology to monitor for carbon monoxide levels in your home. A tamper-resistant feature deters tampering or theft of the unit, alerting you if the unit has been unplugged or if it has come loose from the wall outlet.

Offering a clean, low-profile design, it features two color LEDs for at-a-glance status updates. The green LED shows that AC power is present and that the alarm is working properly. The red LED will illuminate when the alarm detects carbon monoxide and indicates that you and your family should move to fresh air. When the unit detects carbon monoxide, the alarm sounds four short beeps (rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet), followed by five seconds of silence, and then followed by another set of four short beeps. Additionally, when the battery runs low a chirp warning will sound for up to 12 hours to remind you to replace the battery. This carbon monoxide alarm is UL Listed and offers a five-year limited warranty.

Costumer Reviews

After getting this product we installed it close to the garage. Installation is very easy, just install battery and plug in.....

After a few months the alarm woke us from a sound sleep in the middle of the night. Good thing the alarm is very loud because my wife and I sleep very hard and the bedroom is a distance away from the alarm.

We thought the alarm was defective but asked our fire fighter neighbor to check our home with his "high end" CO level detector.

Turns out our hot water heater was leaking CO.

I also found out the Kidde CO Alarms are UL list and other brands are not. Google "UL listing" if you are too young to know about UL product testing.

I bought 2 of these and 1 of them is a menace, always going off in the middle of the night and we can't shut it off. So, we keep it outside in the garage but it still goes off sometimes. The other one is not going off for no reason, but if it gets bumped out of the outlet- the shrill is relentless and it is not easy to reset. The directions are on the back of this thing, but you have to sit through the shrilling beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp while you read the instructions. It's enough to drive a person CRAZY. Babies are screaming, pets are running. It's unnecessarily loud.
