Kidde Smoke & CO Detector for Home, Battery Powered, LED Indicator

The Kidde 900-CUDR Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector is a reliable device that combines smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide detection into a single alarm. Powered by two AA batteries (included), this detector ensures protection even in case of power failures. Unique self-testing components continuously monitor the detector to confirm that it is functioning correctly, ensuring peace of mind for users.

This model utilizes advanced photoelectric sensing technology, which is specifically designed to detect visible fire particles commonly associated with smoldering fires. In addition, it incorporates an electrochemical sensor for the detection of carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. When a threat is detected—whether it be smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide—the Kidde alarm emits a loud 85-decibel sound along with flashing red LED lights to alert you immediately.

The alarm also features three distinct LED warning lights to convey the device’s status. A green light indicates that the unit is operating normally, while an amber light signals a malfunction or connection issue. A red light appears in the presence of smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide, ensuring you are well-informed about potential dangers. As the smoke detector approaches the end of its lifespan, it will announce a prompt to "Replace Alarm!," enhancing user awareness.

To enhance convenience, the Kidde unit includes a Smart-Hush button, which allows you to temporarily silence the alarm for approximately 8 minutes. This feature is particularly beneficial when the detector activates due to common activities, such as cooking or steam from a shower.

For optimal safety, it is recommended to install a carbon monoxide smoke detector combo on every level of your home and near bedrooms. This practice significantly enhances your family's safety. The detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited warranty. It meets safety requirements set forth by various organizations, including UL 2034, UL 217, NFPA 72 (Chapter 11, 2002 edition), the California State Fire Marshal, NFPA 101 (for one and two-family dwellings), and guidelines from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Kidde Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector features a straightforward installation process with an included mounting bracket that allows for quick setup in four different orientations. Its dual-functionality provides 24/7 protection, ensuring accurate smoke and CO detection in a single device.

In summary, the Kidde 900-CUDR Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector delivers essential safety features in one compact unit, maintaining constant vigilance against fire and harmful gases. With dependable battery operation, a clear alert system, and ongoing self-testing capabilities, this is a crucial device for safeguarding your home and loved ones. The warranty begins upon powering on the alarm, and if the activation date is unknown, it is wise to replace the unit to ensure continued protection.
