Kidde Intelligent Battery Operated Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Model KN-COSM-XTR-BA

The Kidde KN-COSM-XTR-BA offers a fast response to real fires, including smoldering and fast-flaming. It also protects you from carbon monoxide and dramatically reduces the chance of nuisance alarms. In addition, the Intelligent Alarm contains a voice warning that clearly states the present danger and announces, Fire or Warning! Carbon Monoxide! The Intelligent Alarm combines the detection capabilities of an ionization smoke sensor which is more likely to detect smaller, less visible fire particles, like those produced by flaming fires with that of an electrochemical sensor, which is used to detect CO. Since carbon monoxide is present in all fires, having both detection chambers working together in one alarm is a breakthrough in the fire safety industry. When either sensor notices a potential hazard, it will communicate with the other. Depending on what is detected, the alarm will adjust its smoke sensitivity in order to better discriminate between a real hazard and a false one. This constant communication enhances the alarms overall performance in all fires, and significantly reduces the potential for a nuisance alarm.

Kidde Intelligent Battery Operated Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Model Kn-Cosm-Xtr-Ba

• Voice Alarm - Announces the hazard type detected, thereby helping to speed up the correct reaction to the hazard. Alarm announces, "Fire, 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 installation time and helps keep home decor attractive.
• Test/Reset Button - Tests alarm circuitry and triggers the voice announcement.
• LED Lights - 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 light.
• 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.
