1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
General Carbon Monoxide Information
Carbon
monoxide
is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison
gas
that
can be fatal
w
hen
inhaled. CO
inhibits the
blood's
capacity
to
carry
oxygen.
Periodically
review
this
ala
rm man
ual
and discuss
your
CO
alarm
emergency procedure
with
all
the
members of
you
r
family.
Never
ignore
a
CO
alarm.
A
true alarm
is
an
indication
of potentially
dangerous
levels
of CO. CO alarms
are
designed to
alert
you
to the
presence
of
CO
before
an emergency -
before most people would experience
symptoms
of CO poisoning, giving
you
t
ime
to
resolve the problem
calmly.
Determine
if
anyone
in
the
household
is
experiencing symptoms
of
CO
poisoning. Many cases of
reported
CO
poison
ing
in
di cate
that while
vidims
are aware they are
not well,
they
become
so disoriented
they
are unable to
save
themselves
by
either
exiting
the building or
calling
for
assistance.
Also,
young
chi
ldren
and
household pets may be
the
f irst
affected
.
You
should
take extra precautions
to proted high-risk
persons
from
CO exposu
re
because
they
may experience
ill
effeds
from
CO
at
leve
ls
that wou
ld
not
ordinarily affed
a healthy adult.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The
following
common symptoms
are related to
CO
poisoning
and
should
be
discussed
with A
LL
members
of
the household.
Mild
Exposure:
Slight headache, nausea,
vomiting,
fatigue
(often descri
bed
as
"fl
u-like"
symptoms).
Medium
Exposure:
Severe
throbbi
ng
headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart
rate.
Extreme
Exposure:
Unconsciousness,
convulsions,
cardio-respiratory fai lure, death.
If
you
experience even mild
symptoms
of CO poisoning, consult
your
doctor
immediately
!

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels
(900-0140-LPM
with
digital
display only)
The
900-0140-LPM
is
equipped
wi
th
a
digital
display that shows levels of
CO
(displayed
in
PPM
-
parts per
million).
Learn the
difference
between
dangerous,
high,
mid
and
low
levels.
Dangerous
Levels:
When someone is
experiencing
sympt
oms
of
CO
poisoning
and
CO
readings
are genera lly
above
100
PPM.
Anytime
someone
is experiencing
the
symptoms of CO
poisoning
this
should
be treated as an emergency.
See
"What
to do When the
A
larm
Sounds" (inside
front cover).
High
Levels:
Genera
lly
above
100 PPM,
w
ith
no one experiencing
symptoms
.
This
should
be
treated as an urgent situation. See
"What
to
do
W
hen
the
Ala
rm
Sounds"
(inside
front
cover).
Mid Levels:
General
ly between
50 PPM
to
100
PPM.
This
shou
ld be cause for
concern
and
should
not be
ignored
or dismissed.
See
"What
to
do
When the
Alarm Sounds"
(inside front
cover).
Low Levels:
General
ly below 50
PPM. Kidde recommends
you take action
to
elim
inate
the
sou rce
of CO. See
"What
to do
When
the
Alarm
Sounds" (inside
front
cover).
IMPORTANT:
The 900-0143-LPM
does
not have
a
digital display
and
does
not display carbon
monoxide
levels
in PPM. If the
alarm
sounds, it
should be treated
as a potentially serious condition.
See
"What t
o
do When
the
Alarm Sounds"
(i
nside
front
cover).
Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Inside
your
home, appliances used for heating and
cooking
are the
most
likely
sources
of
CO.
Veh icles ru
nning in
attached garages can also
produce dangerous levels of
CO.
CO can be produced
when
burning any
fossil fuel, such
as
gasoline,
propane,
natural gas,
oil
and
wood.
It
can
be produced by any
fuel-
burning
appliance
that is
malfunction ing, improperly
installed,
or not
ventilated corredly,
such as:
•
Automobiles, furnaces, gas
ranges/stoves, gas
clothes
dryers,
water
heaters, portable
fuel
burning
space heaters
and generators,
f
ireplaces,
wood-burn ing stoves and certain swimming pool
heaters.
6. Model 900-0140-LPM (with digital display)
Operating Characteristics
Peak Level Memory
(model
900-0140-LPM only)
When
the Peak Level button
is
pressed and held, the display shows
the
highest
CO
reading taken by
the
CO alarm
si nce
its last
reset
or
power
up.
In
this example
120
PPM
was
the
maximum
amount
of CO
recorded
since the
unit
was last reset.

The
Peak
Level display feature
will
display
levels
Sample Peak
between
11-999 PPM.
Although
the Peak Level
Level Reading
feature
will display levels
below
30
PPM,
these
levels
will
not result in
an alarm
no
matter
how
long
the
device
is
exposed to these
levels.
The
Peak
Level
feature is
helpful
in
identifying if you
have
had a CO
reading
since
resetting
the
ala rm.
Concentrations of CO between
1
and 30
PPM
can often
occur in
normal, everyday
conditions. Concentrations
of CO
below 30
PPM
may
be
an indication
of
a
transient
condition
that
may
appear
today and
never
reappear.
Some
CO conditions
may
start out
as
low
level
leaks
but
could develop
into CO
concentrations
t
hat
may become
harmful.
If th
is
happens,
the CO
ala
rm will deted the
dangerous
level
and
alarm,
notifying you
and others of
the
conditions.
DO NOT
ignore
high concentration readings above
30
PPM
or
a
CO alarming
device that is in
alarm.

7. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When
th

seconds
of
silence, repeating for
as
long
as
dangerous conditions exist.
The
red
Alarm
LED
will
flash
the sa me pattern and the
digital
display
(where equipped)
will
indicate CO concentrations
in
