Q.
How many CO alarms do I need in my house?
How many square metres will one CO alarm cover?
A.
We recommend you place CO alarms near the sleeping
area(s). If you have a multi-level home, you should place a CO
alarm on each level of the home. A good rule of thumb for the
number and placement of CO alarms for your particular home is
to place CO alarms near smoke alarms that have been installed to
meet current building code requirements.
Generally, one CO alarm can be adequate for 111.48 to 139.35
square metres of living space. The most important determination
for the number of CO alarms needed is whether an alarm can be
heard in all sleeping areas.
Q.
Do I have to press the test button to get
a CO reading
?
A.
No. Your Kidde CO alarm continuously monitors the air for
carbon monoxide. If it detects a dangerous level of CO it will
alarm automatically. To test the internal components and circuitry
of your CO alarm, press the test/reset button.
