Overview
The NICGOL KH168 5-in-1 Gas Leak and Carbon Monoxide Detector is a versatile safety device designed for homes, RVs, hotels, and outdoor environments. It combines dual gas detection with temperature and humidity monitoring to provide comprehensive protection against combustible and toxic gases.
Equipped with audible and visual alarms, the KH168 responds immediately when carbon monoxide levels reach 150 PPM or flammable gas concentrations exceed 5% of the Lower Explosive Limit. The device allows users to adjust screen brightness and alarm volume to suit different environments, from quiet bedrooms to noisy RVs or outdoor spaces.
The detector includes a battery backup function compatible with 9V batteries, ensuring continuous operation during power outages. Installation is simple, with recommended mounting around five feet above the floor to maximize detection effectiveness for both CO and flammable gases.
Before first use, the KH168 requires a 180-second warm-up and removal of the protective film to ensure accurate readings. Temperature and humidity sensors provide additional environmental monitoring, helping users maintain safe indoor conditions.

FAQs
What gases can the KH168 detect?
It detects carbon monoxide, methane, propane, butane, LPG, LNG, coal gas, and hydrogen.
How do I activate the battery backup?
Insert a 9V battery into the compartment on the back; the device will switch to backup power during AC outages.
Where should I install the detector?
Approximately five feet above the floor, such as a hallway or kitchen entrance wall, for optimal detection of both CO and combustible gases.
Why is a 180-second warm-up necessary?
The warm-up allows sensors to calibrate accurately and adapt to the environment for precise readings.
Can I adjust the display or alarm for different conditions?
Yes, brightness and volume can be adjusted for clear visibility and appropriate alert levels in any environment.
Does the detector monitor temperature and humidity?
Yes, it provides real-time temperature and humidity readings alongside gas detection.
Are batteries included?
No, AC power is used primarily, and the 9V battery backup is sold separately.
