The Kidde KN-COB-IC-CA is a 120 V AC, wire-in carbon
monoxide alarm that warns you and your family of
dangerouscarbon monoxide levels within your home.
This carbon monoxide alarm includes 9 V battery backup that
provides continuous protection, even during a power outage.
The KN-COB-IC-CA can function as a stand alone unit or
interconnect with up to 24 Kidde devices (of which 18 can be
initiating).
Features and Benefits
• 120 V Interconnectable – Will interconnect with up to
24 other devices (18 of which can be initiating), including
smoke alarms (limit of 12), CO and heat alarms.
• 9 V Battery Backup – Provides continuous protection
even during power outages.
• Test / Reset Button – Tests the unit for proper operation.
Resets the carbon monoxide alarm.
• Tamper Resist Feature – Unit will lock to mounting
bracket to deter theft or tampering.
• End of Life Notification – Ten (10) years after unit is
first powered, this alarm will flash its red LED and chirp

CERTIFIED
CSA-6.19-01

The combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm shall be Kidde model
KN-COB-IC-CA or approved equal. It shall be powered by 120 V AC, 60Hz
source with a 9V battery backup. The temperature operating range shall be
between 4.4˚C (40˚F) to 37.8˚C (100˚F) and the humidity operating range shall
be 10%–95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
The CO sensor shall be of a fuel cell design and shall meet the sensitivity
requirements of CAN / CSA 6.19-01 - Residential carbon monoxide alarming
devices.
The alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electrical box or a 4”
octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the alarm) shall be made with
a plug-in connector. The unit shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters
removal of the unit from the ceiling. No additional pieces shall be required to
activate this feature.
A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple station
arrangement. The interconnect system must not exceed the limit of 18 initiating
devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms. With 18 initiating devices (smoke,
heat, CO, etc), interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights
and or relay modules.
The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the
presence of CO and cause the unit to go into alarm. This sequence tests the
unit’s electronics and horn to ensure proper operation.
The CO sensor will not alarm to levels of CO below 30 ppm and will alarm in
the following time range when exposed to the corresponding levels of CO:
70 ppm CO Concentration 60 – 240 minutes
150 ppm CO Concentration 10 – 50 minutes
400 ppm CO Concentration 4 – 15 minutes
The alarm shall utilize a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet.
When the unit detects carbon monoxide, the alarm pattern will be four (4) short
beeps - followed by five (5) seconds of silence - followed by four (4) short beeps.
The unit shall incorporate “Intelligent Interconnect” feature that allows it to
respond to a smoke incident when interconnected with smoke alarms. During
a smoke incident, the horn will sound in the required, repetitive manner for a
smoke alarm – three (3) beeps, a pause, three (3) beeps, a pause.
The unit shall incorporate 3 LED’s. A green LED will be steady on when AC
power is present and will flash every 7 seconds when in battery only mode.
A red LED will flash in unison with the sounder pattern for both a smoke or
CO incident, it will flash once per 30 seconds if the alarm needs service, or be
steady on if the alarm is in error mode. The amber LED will illuminate if that
unit is the originating alarm in a CO incident.
The unit shall also indicate a low battery warning by issuing a brief alarm chirp
and the red LED will flash approximately every 15 seconds.
The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of CAN / CSA 6.19-01. It
shall also include a 10-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Installation of Alarm
The carbon monoxide alarm should be installed to comply with all local
codes having jurisdiction in your area. Make certain all alarms are wired
to a single, continuous (non-switched) power line, which is not protected
by a ground fault interrupter. A maximum of 305 m (1000’) of wire can be
used in the interconnect system. Use standard CSA listed household wire
as required by code.
