Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector for Households

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display utilizes advanced electrochemical sensor technology to detect the presence of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the home and alert occupants with an 85-decibel alarm. This easy-to-install unit plugs directly into a standard 120V AC power outlet and features a 9-volt battery backup to provide continuous monitoring even during power outages.

The Nighthawk's digital display clearly shows CO levels from 30 to 999 parts per million, updating every 15 seconds to indicate any sudden changes or concerning trends. A peak level memory function records the highest CO reading since the last reset, allowing users to see if dangerous concentrations have been present. An LED indicator confirms the sensor is functioning properly.

In the event unsafe CO levels are detected, the alarm will sound a pattern of four quick beeps every five seconds until levels decrease or the reset button is pressed. A convenient test/hush button allows users to verify proper operation or temporarily silence false alarms caused by routine activities like cooking or showering.

The Nighthawk's low-profile design enables it to be plugged directly into any standard wall outlet, with the power cord able to be rotated for a vertical alignment. An included 6-foot extension cord also gives the option of placing the unit on a tabletop or shelf. For whole-home protection, Kidde recommends installing one CO alarm on every level and near all sleeping areas.

Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the UL-listed Nighthawk has a 7-year lifespan and meets the requirements of various safety standards, including UL 2034, NFPA 72, and California Fire Marshal guidelines. As a UTC Fire and Security brand, Kidde is renowned for innovative fire detection and prevention solutions.

The Nighthawk kit includes the CO alarm, 9-volt battery, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. To maximize home safety, Kidde advises complementing CO alarms with fire extinguishers placed throughout the residence and having a well-rehearsed fire escape plan.
