Welcome
Note:
Many
times
throughout
this
User's
Guide,
we
will
refer
to
Carbon
Monoxide
as
"CO".
Your
new
Atwood
Carbon
Monoxide
(CO) Alarm
is
a sophisticated
instrument
that
has been carefully designed and tested
to
detect CO
build
up
in
a residential
or
recreation vehicle environment.
Your
CO Alarm was
built
by Kidde exclusively
for
Atwood.
As an
owner
of
a CO alarm,
there
are some basic facts you should
know
about
for
your
protection.
Many
people
th
ink
that
CO alarms operate
like smoke alarms. Like smoke alarms, CO alarms
monitor
the
ai
r in
your
home
and sound a loud alarm
to
warn
you
of
trouble.
The
way
you respond
to
a CO alarm
is
quite
different
than
a smoke alarm. That's
because a house fire and a
CO problem are
tw
o distinctly d
iffe
r
ent
situations. If your smoke alarm were
to
alarm, you
would
quickly be
able
to
jud
ge
the
lev
el
of
danger you
were
in
with
your
senses. Y
ou
can
see
and smell
the
smoke, feel
the
heat,
see,
and possibly hear the fire
burning. You can
also readily see
if
your smoke alarm
is
alarming in a
non-emergency situation. Because
your
sense
of
sight, smell,
he
aring
and
touch
give you
information,
you can almost instantly
judge
w
hat
action
to
take
if
you hear
your
smoke alarm.
CO
is
an invisible, odorless, tasteless and
non-irritating
gas - completely
undetectable
to
your
senses. That's
wh
y
it
is
important
to
your
safety
that
you
ha
ve a CO alarm.
Important
Warning
Statements
IMPORTANT:
This
carbon
monoxide
alarm
is
designed
to
detect
carbon

from
ANY
source
of
combustion.
It

NOT
designed
to
detect
smoke,
fire,
or
any
other
gas.

alarm
will
not
sense
smoke,
fire,
or
any
poisonous
gas
other
than
carbon

can
be
generated
by
fire.
For
this
reason
you
mu
st
install
smoke
alarms
to
provide
early
warning
of
fire
and
to
protect
you

PPM
Levels
(900-0140-LPM
with
digital

only)
The
900-0140-LPM
is
equipped with a dig
it
al
display
that
shows
levels
of
CO
(dis
pla
yed
in
PPM
- parts per million
).
Learn
the difference between
dangerous, high, mid and
low
le
ve
ls.
Dangerous
Levels:
Wh
en
someone
is
experiencing symptoms
of
CO
poisoning and
CO
readings are genera
ll
y 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 Alarm
So
unds" (
in
side
front
cover).
High
Levels:
Gen
era
lly above 100
PPM,
with no one experiencing symptoms.
This
should be treated
as
an
urgent situation.
See
"What
to
do When the
A
la
rm
Sounds" (inside
front
cover).
Mid
Levels:
General
ly
between 50
PPM
to
100
PPM.
This should
be
cause
for concern
and
sh
ould not
be
ignored
or
dismissed.
See
"What
to
do When the
Alarm Sounds" (inside
front
cover).
Low
Levels:
Generally
be
low 50
PPM.
Kidde recommends you take action
to
eliminate
the sou
rc
e
of
CO.
See
"W
hat
to
do Wh
en
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.

"W

Possible
Sources
of
Carbon
Monoxide
Inside your home, appliances
used
for heating and cooking
are
the
most likely sources
of
CO.
Vehicles
ru
nning in attached garages
can
also
produce dangerous levels
of
CO.
CO
can
be
produced
wh
en
burning any fossil fuel,
su
ch
as
gasoline,
pro
pa
n
e,
natural
gas,
oil and wood. It
can
be
produced by any fuel-
burning appliance that
is
malfunctioning, improperly installed, or
not

as:
• Automobiles, furnaces,
gas
ranges/stoves,

Information About Carbon Monoxide
Because
carbon monoxide
is

cause

as
short-term exposur

to
high

This
Kidde unit h
as
a time-weighted alarm - the higher the level
of
CO
present, t
he
sooner the alarm
wi
ll
be
tr
ig
gered.
This
CO
ala
rm
can
only warn you
of
the
pres
ence
of
CO.
It does
not
prevent
CO
from occurring, nor
can
it
solve
an
existing CO problem.
If your unit
has
alarmed and you've provided ventilati
on
by
lea
ving
your windows and doors open, the
CO
buildup may have dissipated
by
the time help responds. Although your problem may appear
to
be
temporarily solved,
it
's
crucial that the source
of
the
CO
is
determined
and
that
the appropriate repa
irs
are
made.
Th
is
CO
alarm
is
design
ed
to
act
as
a monitor; it
is
not
designed
for
use
as
a short-term testing device

perform a quick check for the presence
of

CO
alarms
have
limitations.
Like

ms

re

CO
alarms have a limited operational life. You must
test your
CO
alarm weekly, because
it
could fail to ope
ra
te at any time.
If your
CO
alarm fails
to
test properly, or
if
its self-diagnost
ic
test

ls
a malfunction, imm

CO
alar

's
possible
that

may
be
present in
ot
her

The
rate and ability
that
which
CO
reaches the alarm may
be
affected
by:
• Doors or other obstructions.
•

For

by
placing a

of
the home.
Please
carefully

information
in
sections 2 and 3 on properly installing this
