Overview
Kidde designed this carbon monoxide alarm around a sealed ten year lithium cell and an electrochemical sensor. It turns on when pressed onto its mounting bracket, and a test and reset button checks operation.
Living areas and bedrooms get continuous CO monitoring without chirping battery swaps. It does not detect smoke, and the whole unit is replaced at end of life rather than refreshed.
Who it's for
Homes with furnaces, gas stoves or fireplaces will use it near sleeping and living areas. Those who want one device for smoke and CO should choose a combination alarm.
Pros and cons
- No battery changes for its life
- Activates when mounted
- Status LEDs show health
- Memory of recent high CO
- CO only, no smoke sensing
- Whole unit replaced at end of life
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Detection relies on the electrochemical sensor reacting to carbon monoxide, with the sealed battery powering it continuously. Status lights show normal operation, a past high reading or a fault. Placement near sleeping areas affects how quickly an alarm is heard.
