Q:I have a summer/fall cabin. In the winter, there is no heat but the electric is on. So, temps get down around zero. Of course, when we arrive, we start the heat. Will the cold temps for several months affect the detector's ability to perform?

I bought the CO detector to replace one of a similar model that shut itself down when the sensor reached the end of its life. I have no problem with the product's performance, but I am annoyed that it was necessary to replace an entire instrument because one component predictably failed. This is hardly a new problem for the electronics industry. a century ago radio manufacturers faced a similar problem with vacuum tubes that had finite lives. The radio companies, however, were considerably smarter than Kidde. Rather than force their customers to trash the entire receiver due when a tube burned out, they had the tubes plug into sockets so the owner could replace then while preserving the remainder of the set. Why can't Kidde do likewise. Heck, they could even use existing tube bases and sockets. The attache photo shows an example.

My unit just reached it's "End of Life". It only took 9 years! Mine was manufactured in October 31st, 2011. I will be buying another one and hopefully get the same duration or something similar with the new one which is now called "Nighthawk"

The product was relatively easy to assemble. The only problem I had was the battery Compartment was a little to open. Once that was open, I had no problem.

Love this monitor, it cycles ever so often and displays the reading. Also, plugs into an outlet so no batteries to go dead. Purchased a couple of weeks ago.

I read that there is an internal clock that limits the unit to seven years of service and just pulled mine because I'm getting a chirp and low battery indication. It was manufactured 8/13/98 and had been displaying 0 ppm CO and flashing the decimal point to indicate operation. If the expiration clock feature is true, it must have been added after I purchased mine. The model number is 900-0076-00 and there are no expiration instructions on the unit.
Other than battery replacement, the unit requires no special attention and hasn't even collected dust. Speaking of battery replacement, that is a weak point. Applying pressure to the access panel and sliding in the direction of the arrows may not work as well as prying it loose with a screwdriver. There is a remote, wired mounting option but I chose to plug the unit directly into an outlet. Very easy installation - plug and play.
My old unit looks exactly like the one pictured but with a bit of yellowing on the front face at the power transformer location. I guess it's time for a replacement and unfortunately, electronics go to the landfill.

This is extremely well engineered!!! You can remove the transformer to mount away from a plug, or simply plug it into an outlet. It has a small tap at the bottom you can pull out when plugging directly into the wall outlet to compensate for the wall outlet projecting out from the wall to keep it flat. It comes with a battery, so is dual power.

When my 7 year old CO detectors started timing out, I bought this 6-pack to replace them (and to add a couple more for the second bedroom, and garage). I especially like this model that plugs in but has a battery backup, and displays the most recent %CO reading. The power block can also be extended from the body, or plugged in direct.

I bought one of these approximately 5 years and it quit working. I didn’t keep its receipt so was not able to do any thing. I went to Home Depot to buy a similar monitor, but they had no other brand. So I bought another of the same hoping this time I will be lucky and it will do better.
