Questions & Answers
There's a peak level button on the front that you can tap to find out what the level is. By pressing the "reset button," you can reset the peak level to the highest value that was recorded by the unit. A peak level will only be recorded above 11 parts per million. Exposure to 9ppm or more is dangerous over the long term.
That was a misleading response. What is the answer to the question "Does this detect propane?"? . ", the answer was. "Only carbon monoxide. This information is from www.". The Propane 101. Please visit www.com. The cause of almost 25% of all propane-related fatalities is Carbon Monoxide (CO). An incomplete combustion of gas can lead to the production of carbon monoxide, commonly caused by improperly set appliances. It is the "ideal burn" of propane appliances that results in their ability to perform properly and there is little danger of carbon monoxide As a result of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, serious injuries can result,
It was difficult to replace the old unit with this one as I had to ask my neighbor to do it for me and he had to drill new holes since the holes in the new unit didn't match the holes in the old one. It is my apologies that I don't know exactly what size it is. As far as I know, I didn't perform
The gas carbon monoxide will be given off as an incomplete combustion product. If one wants to do a certain amount of research on this question, there is a bunch of assumptions to be made I believe if these are positioned in a room without a lot of air flow, where there is little mixing, in a kitchen, or in a garage in a normal private residence, then you will be protected from the risk of combustion. An overhead cover in a basement will not cover the area in the garage, and an overhead cover in an upstairs bedroom cannot cover a fireplace in a downstairs recreation room. A few of these were located in some kind of industrial area in It would be kind of silly to have 30,000 square feet. The reason I got and installed several was for this very reason. However, keep in mind that I am not an expert and if this is a critical issue, please ask the manufacturer for the specifications.

It turned out that the battery in this alarm had only been good for two years, when it should have lasted ten. Approximately a month ago, I sent the unit to Kidde in my own name for a warranty replacement under the terms of the contract. My package did get to them, but I have not heard from them, which I'm not surprised about Their response to the recall of defective fire extinguishers was very slow, and this is more of the same poor service. I have already purchased a First Alert fire extinguisher to replace this unit. If you have one of these units fail prematurely, I recommend you purchase another one from a company that stands behind their product. Don't send it back to Kidde if the product fails prematurely. A NEW UPDATE After sending it back to Kidde seven months ago, their unit has finally been replaced. I'm sorry, but that's an absurdly long time to make a customer wait for any kind of warranty service, even if it is for something non-warranty related This is crucial. It is absolutely inexcusable that they have such a slow response time when dealing with safety equipment.
Our goal is to buy it. I did a ton of research on carbon monoxide detectors after my family had been diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning (long term at low levels over a period of several years, resulting in ER visits and doctors visits before diagnosis). Prior to that, we had a generic detector that would never sound! Detectors are subject to relatively loose regulations, as I found out. Since it had to be replaced, I was picky about what I chose. In the end, our heating system was repaired, and we ordered a CO detector when we blew the seal on the unit. The "peak level" button has always given me comfort because I can see the highest level (as low as 11ppm) every time I press it. There are several things you should know when it comes to Those who are created equal are not the same! CO alarms do not sound unless a CO level reach a certain level and REMAINS there for an agreed upon amount of time. So this unit may not sound when levels reach 11 ppm, but it will acknowledge it when you check if it has ever reached that level. I would call that an excellent investment, especially after what we just experienced. A maximum limit of five to ten is recommended Generally, 9 parts per million (PPM) are acceptable for living areas (depending on your local health authority). Therefore, it is only logical to have a system that can tell you when the level rises above that point.
Our new plug-in just beeped every few minutes due to a low battery. Just a few weeks ago we bought it, and now it beeps constantly. That's the end of the battery life of 10 years. Amazon now wants me to send a beeping device back to them. The UPS guy is sure to love one of these beeping boxes. will not be suspicious in the slightest.
At the time I received it, I thought it was decent enough. The moment I slid the rear cover on, the unit immediately started up with a loud alarm (test) and then the zero appeared on the LCD. In the zero column, nothing changed. It remained there for a while longer, unwavering and steady. Right? This should be comforting, shouldn't it? As for me, I am not the kind of person who accepts things on pure faith without any evidence whatsoever, especially when it is crucial (for instance, when it comes to life and death). This Kiddie "Worry-Monger" can easily be tested as I can test my smoke alarm without a problem Is it free to use the carbon monoxide alarm? In order to find out whether the meter displays zero when it detects CO greater than 30 PPM (or registers a peak of more than 11 PPM), I thought I should test it in an environment with high CO concentrations. My car was running when I started it up to do some tests, so I held it right behind the tailpipe for a while. There is nothing. There is still zero on the readout and zero on the peak detected (meaning there was no higher than 11 PPM). I am not an expert, but I would have guessed that there would be higher than 11 PPM at a tailpipe exhaust, even when driving. Looking into it further is on my to-do list. Once I learn more about this, I will update. In my research, I discovered some proper ways in which to conduct a CO alarm test. In order for the test to be effective, it must be conducted To do this, simply take a large lidded pot (such as a stock pot) and place the alarm inside along with a lit candle. Seal the lid tightly. In less than a minute, the candles have used up all of the oxygen and are emitting CO. An alarm reading in the 50's was registered in my case after a short period of time. There is a reason it works.
Just a couple of weeks ago, my gas hot water heater had been repaired, which affected my concern with carbon monoxide. The older plug in style CO detector my father-in-law gave me was placed in our basement, with the assumption it was safer A few days later, the situation had changed. My wife had just gotten home from work, and she says "there's an alarm going off in the basement!" As soon as she sees the alarm, she runs outside and tells me so. So, I sprinted downstairs where I heard the CO detector blaring. There was 237ppm of CO present in the digital reading. We evacuated the house, called 911, and took our 7 month old and 2 year old to the safety of the school. As soon as the fire department arrived, they deployed their CO detectors, but they did not detect any In addition to responding with their CO detector, they requested another unit to be called to make sure the problem wasn't equipment related. I was eventually told that the CO unit I had been given was over 17 years old and no longer precise I was advised to go to the big box store as soon as possible to buy 3 new CO detectors that have a digital readout. One of the best ones is probably the one made by First Alarm or Kidde. In the end, I bought two at Home Depot and installed them at the bottom of the basement staircase after they had left. Installing it could not have been easier. Two more are on the way from here and will be placed outside the bedroom doors on both ends of the upstairs hallway, and a third one will be placed in the living room of my apartment. The installation of these is a must for any responsible parent and home owner. I would recommend this replacement for your furnace and hot water heater if they are getting old and are nearing the end of their life. The cost is reasonable and the installation is easy.
It is not recommended to buy this product if you live in an area that is prone to An alarm is triggered when humidity levels are high. It was impossible for me to sleep because the alarm went off constantly during the night and day.
