Kidde K4MCO Mains Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Kidde K4MCO Mains Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm

The Kidde K4MCO is a 230V mains Carbon Monoxide Detector with a sealed lithium-ion battery backup, ideal for major refurbishments in existing properties, projects requiring complete re-wiring, or new build installations.

CO detectors are now a requirement by law and a landlord's responsibility to have installed in all residential premises, warning against the deadly gas known as carbon monoxide and also providing continuous monitoring of CO levels around the home.

CO detectors should be located on each level of the home, ideally close to fuel-burning appliances and also sleeping areas.

The main sources of carbon monoxide are:

Clogged chimneys
Cracked or loose boiler flue
Improperly installed gas cooker, hob, or hood
Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe
Gas or wood-burning fireplaces
Portable paraffin or gas heaters

The K4MCO can be linked up with 24 other Kidde and Firex mains devices (of which 18 can be initiated) including smoke, CO, and heat alarms.

Key features of the K4MCO are:

Sealed-in rechargeable lithium cell providing 7 years continuous operation in the event of a mains failure
End of life warning after 7 years from initial power-up
Sensor - Electrochemical with de-ionized water-electrolyte, sampling one every 15 seconds
Button test - Stimulates the effect of CO at the sensor, checking electronics & sounder
Audible / sound output - 85dB at 3 metres
