The Kidde Front-Loading Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm (part 21007624) offers protection from two hazards – fire and CO – in one unit. Sold under the FireX brand, this AC-wire with battery backup alarm emits a beeping tone followed by a voice warning that clearly announces the danger by saying, “Fire Fire” or “Warning Carbon Monoxide”. The uniquely designed frontloading battery compartment makes battery replacement quick and easy, and ensures proper installation. Manufactured with photoelectric sensors for detecting smoke and fire, this alarm also includes the world’s most accurate CO sensing technology based on claims by major manufacturers. Architectural and Engineering Specifications – The combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm shall be Kidde Unit Number KN-COPE-I (part number 900-0213) or approved equal. It shall be powered by 120VAC, 60Hz source with a 9V battery backup. The temperature operating range shall be between 40°F and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) and the humidity operating range shall be 5% – 95% relative humidity. The unit shall incorporate a photoelectric smoke sensor with nominal sensitivity of 2.05%/ft. The CO sensor shall be of a fuel cell design and shall meet the sensitivity requirements of Underwriters Laboratories UL2034 Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Detectors. The unit shall qualify for UL-approved wording on the package: “World’s Most Accurate Carbon Monoxide Alarm”. The combination alarm can be installed on the surface of any wall or ceiling following the UL/NFPA/Manufacturer’s recommended placement guidelines. The alarm can be installed on any standard single gang electrical box, up to a 4”octagon junction box. The electrical connection (to the alarm) shall be made with a plug-in connector. The unit shall provide optional tamper resistance that deters removal of the unit from the wall or ceiling. No additional pieces shall be required to activate this feature. A maximum of 24 Kidde devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system must not exceed the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) limit of 18 initiating devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms. With 18 initiating devices (smoke, heat, CO, etc), interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay modules. The alarm shall include a test button that will electronically simulate the presence of smoke and CO and cause the unit to go into both modes of alarm. This sequence tests the unit’s electronics to ensure proper operation. The CO sensor will not alarm to levels of CO below 30 ppm and will alarm in the following time range when exposed to the corresponding levels of CO. 70 ppm CO Concentration 60 – 240 minutes 150 ppm CO Concentration 10 – 50 minutes 400 ppm CO Concentration 4 – 15 minutes The combination alarm shall have two methods of warning for danger: a piezoelectric horn that is rated at 85 decibels at 10 feet and a voice warning that identifies the danger. For a CO incident, the horn will sound in the repetitive manner – four (4) fast beeps, a short pause, four (4) fast beeps, a short pause. In between, the unit will announce “Warning Carbon Monoxide” In a Smoke incident, the horn will sound in the repetitive manner – three (3) beeps, a pause, three (3) beeps, and a pause. In between, the unit will announce “Fire Fire” The unit shall incorporate 2 LED’s. A green LED will be steady on when AC power is present, flash every 30 seconds when in the battery only mode, every 16 seconds to indicate alarm memory, and every 2 seconds to indicate the Hush“mode is active. A red LED will flash in unison with the sounder pattern. The unit shall include the Smart Hush feature that silences the unit for approximately 8 minutes if a nuisance alarm condition occurs. The Green LED on the alarm will flash every 2 seconds while in Smart Hush and will automatically reset itself. It also provides voice annunciation of “Hush Activated” when Smart Hush is activated and “Hush Cancelled” when the Hush cycle ends. The unit shall also indicate a low battery warning utilizing each of the following methods: a brief alarm chirp, the voice announcement of “Low Battery” The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL 2034, UL217, NFPA72, (chapter 11 2002 edition) The State of California Fire Marshall, NFPA101 (One and two family dwellings) Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It shall also include a 10-year manufacturer’s limited warranty. Claim approved by UL, based on manufacturer’s reported testing.
Provides protection from fire and carbon monoxide in one unit with Photoelectric sensor.
Fire warning – The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning message “Fire Fire” The alarm will repeat pattern until unit is reset or smoke is eliminated.
Carbon monoxide warning – Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning “Warning, Carbon monoxide” This continues until the unit is reset or the CO is eliminated.
Low battery warning – One chirp followed by warning “low battery”. The red LED light will flash. This pattern will continue every minute for the first hour. After the first hour the red LED light will flash once every minute accompanied by the chirp sound. The “low battery” warning will only sound once every fifteen minutes. Voice Hush Indication: “Hush activated” and “Hush cancelled” voice announcement
Alarm memory – The green LED will blink once every 16 seconds to alert a user when the unit has alarmed for smoke or has detected a concentration of CO. If the alarm has detected a CO level of 100ppm or greater, when the test/reset button is pressed the unit will announce “CO previously detected”. If the alarm has detected abnormal levels of smoke since its last test, it will produce three rapid beeps.
AC-Wire with battery backup, An included 9V battery protects during short-term power outages
Front-loading battery with unique battery door design
Voice warning with green and red LEDs
Photoelectric smoke sensor – May detect visible fire particles associated with slow smoldering fires sooner than an ionization sensor.

Customers say
Customers like the ease of installation, functionality, and value for money of the gas smoke fire alarm. They mention it works well, is well worth the price, and has a backup battery that’s easy to replace. However, some dislike the quality and differ on the accuracy, reliability, and loudness of the alarm.

Easy to install and fits the previous Kidde detector alarm.
The old detector lasted almost 10 years. We purchased this one as a replacement and it fit perfectly and easily into the ceiling outlet already there. It was very easy to install.

Photoelectric/CO combination for the best price
Simple to install. Good price. I went between this and the photoelectric/CO detector combo by First Alert (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UQW8OS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) but the price is about $10 cheaper for Kidde. I installed two of these in a condo for my father-in-law. Installation was easy. There were 15 year old Firex (FADC #5000) in there previously but the rewiring is simple. I didn’t bother paying $4.50 per adapter to avoid having to rewire it since it is so easy to do.The rewire takes 2 minutes just make sure you turn off the circuit that has the alarms on it. I didn’t bother doing that a few years back when changing out 10 alarms in our home but got a few small zaps. Take out the two screws that held in the mount to the ceiling, remove the twist caps on the red (was a yellow wire on the Firex and this is used for interconnectivity between wired alarms), neutral, and hot, and replace the wires with the new Kidde. After wiring is complete put the new mount on and plug in the wired adapter to the alarm. The hardest part of the hole thing is getting the alarm to properly screw onto the mount but that’s a problem with all of them.It’s loud, it interconnects. It speaks to you telling you if it is a CO issue or smoke. I hope I never have to hear it other than testing regularly.

Same As Older One
This was a direct replacement for an older one. The connector was a little different but an adapter was provided. Batteries are included. The base was exactly the same so I didn’t need to change it. It took about 2 minutes to figure out and change. The old one lasted about 12 years and never had the backup battery changed.

The front battery door makes it easy to change out the battery
I retrofit all of our properties with this unit. It combines smoke and carbon monoxide detection and provides dual power – 120VAC and 9VDC. The front battery door makes it easy to change out the battery. The unit still beeps when the battery gets low which we consider an important safety feature. Annoyingly, like every other smoke detector on the market, beeping usually starts in the middle of the night. This feature is no doubt provided by the same people who train servers to wait until your mouth is full to ask you if everything is OK with your meal. Other than this, a sold unit with a low profile on wall or ceiling.

Everything is DISPOSABLE
I had no idea these had an END OF LIFE date on them. Mine lasted an extra year, then kept beeping (started in the middle of the night).Ordered replacement, fit on the OLD base (so no repositioning/drilling new holes).These have estimated 10-12 year lifespan, so be prepared to replace AND DO NOT buy an EXTRA “so when it expires” it will expire too.

It works.
I was able to replace myself.

work great
So my old Kidde smoke detectors were the single sensor , close to 11 years old and starting to yellow and look dingy. With the Daylight Savings time switch coming up I was getting ready to buy new batteries to replace them and decided to just replace the detectors.Doing research I decided to replace them with the dual sensors in all of the bedrooms and living areas and the Combo CO/Photo detectors for the hallways next to the furnaces.Easy to replace, I actually showed my 14 year old son what needed to be done and gave him the box and a screwdriver and had him push the test button after each one. Since I was replacing Kidde I didn’t have to replace the pigtail or do any wiring but I did have to replace the mounting ring( which I would have anyways) Its so easy a caveman could do it. They came with a battery and dust cover and look so much better than the old yellowed onesThe Combo/Co unit has a front battery cover and the hush button works fairly quickly. some peopel have complained about phantom alarms , but so far so good.

I bought two of these, they are easy to replace as the ones I had were no longer worker, I tested both of them before I installed them. had to replace the original base plate with the one in the box and then twist the detector into place. Easy process
Canada Inc –
Great product quick to install
William H Jensen –
Great quality.
Todd R Johnson –
Purchased two of these after an older model Kidde was time to replace (after 7 years). It fit on the same base as the old one too, so no re-wiring.
