Kidde Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Test

[IM_SHIHIRO]

I have that model, I bought it in 2013 may! But it’s so loud! Also it’s my house in Winnipeg in CANADA, Since it’s Canada it doesn’t say “FIRE FIRE” it says “FIRE FEU” which “fire” in french

Is there a way to stop it from beeping and only talk?

That sounder is a bit quiet so I recommend replacing that

Hi, I am using the same smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, After i run a test on it - the light indicator show solid/steady green light. Is it normal? What does the light indicator mean? Thanks

I have one of these but its broken Its the same model, I have it as a collection with other alarms and it is my oldest alarm that I have because I have had it since I was 1 year.

What does it mean if the green light doesn’t stay on?

That's the '00s-style Kidde model. Those usually aren't as low-pitched as the ones from sometime in the 2010s. (at least sometime later during the 2010s) I know that ones from during or around 2004-2008 look like that one. Actually, this one sounds as high-pitched or roughly the same pitch as one of our First Alert ones that we have, like the one next to the lower-floor bathroom and boiler room. That's our highest-pitch one, IIRC. Oh FYI, I think the later Kidde models, often have a battery door on the front.

I have the same model in our basement we are renovating, I'm assuming it's battery powered as there is no green light and only appears every 60 seconds. It has a higher piezo and a lower pitch voice.

Just called the fire dept yesterday because my CO alarm went off and it was the four beeps but it was rapidly beeping for a while and i had something cooking on the stove for a couple of hours. they came and told us it was coming from the stove. They shut off the gas. Don’t know if it was actually a problem they just told us it was arround 20-25 ppm but I don’t know why the detector would go off ive never heard that alarm before. I’ll admit and new detector was way overdue but our building mngmt didn’t tell us about it but wedid replace the batteries before so it should have been working fine

Why is an ex East Lyme ambulance serving Southbury?

[Glamourismymiddlename]

Why doesn’t mine speak. When I press the test button it just beeps and has a red flashing light

[SanJoseMA]

How do you stop it from chirping after the test?

[imitationsofmyself]

Mine did the same thing. I wish it said something like "test is over"
