Share

Overview

The Kidde KN-COEG-3 Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Detector is a reliable safety device designed to protect homes from carbon monoxide, propane, methane, and other explosive gases. Equipped with an electrochemical sensor and metal oxide sensor, it accurately detects toxic or flammable gases and alerts users through an 85-decibel audible alarm and digital LED display.

This detector features a plug-in design for easy installation into any standard 120V AC outlet, and includes a 9-volt battery backup to ensure continuous protection during power outages. The digital display updates every 15 seconds, showing CO levels or displaying "GAS" when detecting explosive gas, providing real-time monitoring of your environment.

The unit includes peak level memory, recording the highest CO concentration detected since the last reset, and a Smart-Hush button that temporarily silences nuisance alarms from cooking or steam. With an included extension cord and tabletop stand, the detector can be placed conveniently for maximum coverage.

UL certified and compliant with UL 2034 and UL 1484 standards, the KN-COEG-3 offers dependable home safety, providing peace of mind for families, pet owners, and travelers alike. It comes with a 6-year manufacturer warranty, combining long-term reliability with advanced gas detection technology.
