Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm

The Kidde 9CO5 battery-operated carbon monoxide (CO) alarm uses the patented Nighthawk electrochemical CO sensor to help protect you and your family from the dangers of CO. Easy to install, the 9CO5's green LED flashes every 30 seconds to indicate the unit is operating properly. If dangerous CO levels are detected, the red LED pulses and an 85 db horn sounds at specific intervals until the CO threat is eliminated. Because it's powered by 3 AA batteries, the 9CO5 is able to provide continuous monitoring of CO levels, even during power outages. The unit's snap-open cover makes it easy to take out old batteries but is difficult to close if you forget to install new batteries. For peace of mind, a test/reset button allows you to test that alarm is functioning properly. The 9CO5 is covered with a five-year manufacturer's limited warranty and replacement is recommended after seven years.

  • Battery operated 3 AA's included

  • Front load battery door provides easy access which reduces the installation and battery replacement time

  • Test reset button tests the unit for proper operation

  • *** item ships through UPS***

1False alarm  Jun 19, 2010
By Sam Houston "kansas kid"
this thing woke us up at 2 in the morning... kept going off so we called the fire department. we sat out on our porch for 2 hours talking to a policeman and fire chief while we waited for the gas company and a sherifs deputy to show up with testing equipment! LOUSY machine!!! they couldn't find any problems, but the gas man said to set it outside in the fresh air to reset. Don't you know, started going off again (outside) while we were trying to catch up on our sleep. We've only had the thing for about 2 months. My husband just put it together and mounted it on the wall a few weeks ago, so it should be in tip top shape!

4Better Safe Than Sorry  Sep 17, 2008
By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner"
I've used several carbon monoxide alarms from First Alert for the past couple of years. Sadly, I was very dissapointed with the fact that they've shorted out after only a few months. For Kidde, they've made high quality carbon monoxide alarms, but also a very convient prices. The Kidde KN-COBB Basic Carbin Monoxide Alarm is a very simple and easy to setup alarm. This alrm is very affordable, and you can easily hang it up, without any problems. It is also easy to install the batteries, unlike those that require a 9 Volt batteries. Here, all it takes is a trio of AA batteries, and it works better, even during a power outage. Kidde does show it, and I really suggest you have one for your everyday houselhold.

Setup: B+

5Convenient and Very Practical  Oct 21, 2009
By Nuknuk
I own this detector for 1 1/2 years before I have to replace batteries. You don't realize how convenient it is to have the battery compartment at the front until you start replacing batteries of the existing smoke and carbon mono detectors in your house. Most of those installed in our house needs 9 volts rectangular batteries which are not easy to find and expensive. This needs 3 regular size "AA" batteries. We also have high ceilings, so I have to use higher stools or ladder to replace them. The battery access is at the back so I need to remove the unit from the ceiling first. It is easy to remove them with a single twist, but once you replace the battery, re-installing them is a nightmare. This unit saves you a lot of frustration and heartaches because you don't have to remove it at all and all you need to do is flip the front battery cover and you are done.

Instruction is attached to the back, so you don't have to worry about losing them. 4 quick beeps signal an alarm condition. Single beep every 30 seconds indicate low battery.

Simple design. Looks good.

1KN-COB-B is crap  Mar 18, 2009
By Joseph N. Scudder
We have had three of these units for less than six months. We also have two other CO units that are AC only that we have had for a few years.

Just about every week one of these three units beeps very loudly for three or four beeps and then quits. This is very annoying when you are sleeping. It does not continue like it is a real alarm. They are not the soft chirps indicating low batteries. I have replaced all the batteries with new quality batteries instead of the cheap ones that come with the unit. Our regular, more expensive, CO units have never gone off at the same time as these cheap units. Buy the more expensive units.

We do not think these are unsafe, just annoying.
