carbon monoxide detectors error image
Alex
I have the Kidde KN-COPP-3 detector and I'm having a little trouble figuring out how it's operating.
So far I have not had any alarms go off, and I always get a reading of zero. However, today when I came home I had the "Err" error message displayed, and when I tested the Peak Level Memory it came up as "999." When I test now, however, the unit is reading "0".
How can it be possible that I have had a 999ppm reading and the alarm never went off? Could this be due to the error that was displayed today? The unit was safely plugged in when I checked, my only guess for what might have happened was a brief power surge/outage but my neighbors are saying they didn't have anything of that sort.
Just concerned and wondering what this machine is trying to tell me. I'm looking for a customer service number so I can check it myself.
(For reference, I'm not currently nor have I recently experienced any symptoms of C.O. poisoning, but for safety's sake I've opened my windows and done several Tests on the unit.)
Answer
Check you peak reading often, but 999 would be so lethal. I've heard anything more then 100 for a few minutes can be fatal. Most likely it was apart of your err. message. Mine reads a peak sometimes around 16, but the only time i've seen err or high numbers is when the battery is dead, and changing the battery/resetting the unit.

How to stop fire alarm from going off when light is turned on?

We have a fire and CO detector that I removed from the ceiling to paint it.
After I removed it I saw in tiny print to shut it off before removing. I really am not familiar with what it looks like off hand as I'm at work.
It is sensitive to the light being turned on and it goes off every time we turn the light on. It says warning, carbon monoxide levels are high, then it says carbon monoxide levels are 0 PPM and stops.
They are all new and all of them have gone off at least twice since moving in and only when the light is turned on. They go off within seconds.
How can I get this one to stop going off EVERY time? Like I said, I'm at work and not familiar off hand with what's on it. I'd hope there's some kind of reset button? Is it too close to the light? It's maybe 2-3 feet away from the light.
I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but it's just weird to never have a problem this bad with it until now.
Answer
It's faulty, a light would not emit any co to trip it. If it is too near a furnace it could be tripped but a light would not do it.
As you say it is new take it back.
If it is a smoke detector a light would also not trip it, but if it is a heat detector it may if it's too close to one but the error code said co so that has nothing to do with the error.
I had one that went off when it should not have and when contacting the manufacturer they told me to unplug it and take the battery out for at least 10 seconds to reset it then put it back. It resets it. It worked. They also told me if it hadn't worked then the battery is faulty.
They told me that it does that if it has power failures too many times.
Give that a shot and if it doesn't rectify the situation replace it.
