Kidde Ultra-Sensitive CO Detector with Digital Display — Battery-Powered, 85 dB Alarm

Overview

The Kidde KN-COU-B Ultra-Sensitive Carbon Monoxide Detector provides heightened awareness for homes with pets or occupants who may be sensitive to carbon monoxide. It actively samples indoor air and triggers a loud 85 dB alarm when CO is detected, delivering an audible alert that supports rapid awareness and response.

What makes this model stand out is the digital display that reports CO levels as low as 10 ppm. This granular readout helps you observe trends and understand short-term fluctuations, without making health claims. The unit is UL2075 listed and UL2034 listed, reflecting adherence to recognized safety standards. For added peace of mind, there is a practical 10-year end-of-life warning so you can plan for replacement, and a slide-out battery door that provides easy access to the 3 AA batteries, along with a safety feature that prevents closing the door without batteries installed.
