Kidde K5DCO CO gas leak detector (measuring device)

Product detailed description

A CO detector with an electrochemical sensor that detects carbon monoxide (CO) and is equipped with an LCD display. The device is powered by 2pcs of alkaline 1.5V AA batteries, which are included in the package. An economical solution and low purchase price with an electrochemical sensor and a 7-year warranty, this is the Kidde K5DCO carbon monoxide (CO) detector that continuously monitors the presence of poisonous carbon monoxide in homes or businesses, providing protection from its deadly effects. In addition to a trio of monitoring LED indicators, it also has an LCD display that continuously displays CO readings and other status information. The detector can be mounted securely on a wall or simply placed loose on a table, shelf or other horizontal surface for convenience. It is an ideal safety feature and reliable protection against this silent killer not only for the home, but also in rented accommodation or on holiday. By approval, it complies with the latest CSN -EN50291:2018 standards for home carbon monoxide detectors. The K5DCO toxic CO gas leak detector features a sensor with a 7 year warranty and a 10 year lifetime. Its operating time is thus much longer than that of most conventional CO alarms commonly offered on our market. After 10 years of protection, the device will announce the end of its life and pass on the information that it needs to be replaced. Carbon monoxide detector with LCD display - Model Kidde K5DCO Kidde's products in the CO detection category meet the latest and most demanding criteria of the CSN -EN50291-1:2018 standard and it is no coincidence that they are among the world's top safety products, relied upon for many years by the general public and professionals around the world. The K5DCO carbon monoxide detector with display is equipped with a second-generation electrochemical sensor, guaranteeing the durability and operability of the device for up to 10 years. The battery power supply using two AA alkaline batteries (included) allows the detector to be installed in the optimum location in the interior space, providing permanent protection against this silent killer. The built-in LCD display shows carbon monoxide concentration levels from 0 to 999 ppm*. The device measures the deadly hazard of carbon monoxide (CO) at one-second intervals. Exceeding the permitted CO level is indicated visually (by a red LED indicator) and acoustically (by a loud, pulsating 85dB audible alarm). Kidde carbon monoxide detectors are equipped with two push buttons: - TEST / RESET, which is used to test and verify the correct functioning of the device and to reset it - MAX.CONCENTRATION, which is used to display the highest CO level measured since the device memory was reset. The status of the sensor, batteries and internal circuitry is automatically monitored by a microprocessor controlled safety system. In case of detection of a malfunction, any operating anomaly or low capacity of the power batteries, this condition will be indicated visually by a yellow LED indicator with the display of the corresponding information on the LCD display, accompanied by an appropriate alarm acoustic signal. In addition, the Kidde K5DCO detector is equipped with a simulation test function to quickly check the correct response of the CO sensor to the test gas. Thanks to the special design, it is not necessary to install the device firmly on a wall in the room, but it is also possible to freely place the detector on flat surfaces such as a bedside table, shelf, etc. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas that is produced by the misfiring of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, LPG and wood. It can also be produced by poorly maintained or faulty fuel-burning appliances used for domestic heating, such as: boilers, gas appliances, karmas, barbecues, blocked chimneys, ventilation systems or damaged flue pipes. Common symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, nausea, fatigue or muscle pain - but these can easily be confused with a diagnosis of flu. It is therefore important to protect your family and home with carbon monoxide detectors. Testing the Kidde K5DCO detector The best way to test and maintain a CO detector sensor in working order is through a test kit with SAFE 400 calibration gas. This test gas verifies that the detector's circuitry and systems are operating reliably and that the CO sensor is actively responding to the appropriate level of carbon monoxide concentration. Advantages of the device - Kidde electrochemical technology - second-generation sensors, the most accurate electrochemical sensors in the world, take measurements at one-second intervals - Longer sensor lifetime than other manufacturers on the market - LCD display with a maximum range of 999 ppm - Loud 85 dB alarm signaling - TEST / RESET function - reset, test and verify proper operation of the device - MAX.CONCENTRATION function - to display the highest measured CO level in the device memory - Battery power supply via 2pcs of replaceable AA batteries - Wall or free standing installation on a flat surface - End-of-life indication - Low operating costs, small size and weight - Easy installation and handling - Timeless and modern design - 7-year warranty (does not apply to power batteries) Carbon monoxide detection device with certification confirming compliance with the requirements of the Czech technical standard ČSN-EN EN50291-1:2018 for home carbon monoxide detectors. Compliance with this standard has been confirmed by the independent research laboratory of the British Standard Institute (BSI). *for concentrations in the range 0 - 30 ppm, the marking is "0".
