Why does my Nighthawk carbon monoxide detector keep chirping every so often and reading 248 after I reset it?




Dragonlady


The last few days, the detector has chirped...does it for about an hour or less, every 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it stops for hours..even up to a day before it does it again. I've changed the battery twice. It came up low battery once...but was reading 0 the whole time the other times it happened. Then when I hit reset, it went to 888, then to 248 and once said 247. I don't understand this...makes me worry, yet it goes back to 0.


Answer
It suggests that there most likely is a malfunction if as you say that you've put new batteries in. It could also be an end of life warning (not yours, the carbon monoxide detectors'). If you've had the alarm for between 4-7 years this could be the case. People have had some problems with this particular model of carbon monoxide detector. It's probably best to contact the manufacturer directly, in this case Kidde, and if you have a valid warranty get them to send a new one asap. If not and your detector is in the end of life period it's probably better to buy a new one asap anyway. In the meantime it's better not to take any risks; make sure your house is well ventilated at all times.

Carbon monoxide alarm beeping every 30 seconds - help?




Welcome to


It is beeping once every 30 seconds- it's quite a loud beep but short and doesn't really sound like an alarm. It is plugged into the wall so I don't think it takes batteries. The display says "L6" and then "0" (it displays one then the other repeatedly). I don't smell gas. I opened the doors and windows and all the lights are turned off. All living creatures now outside. What should I do?
I found the manual on the internet and it did have another battery which needs replacing. Thanks!



Answer
Make sure it doesn't take batteries, search around your house for the manual, open ALL windows.
