KIDDE K5CO sensor set, 2030-DSR (dual pack) KID-DSR-K5

Comprehensive home protection in one set

The KIDDE K5CO set is a practical solution for anyone looking for a quick and effective way to secure an apartment or house against the two most dangerous threats: smoke and carbon monoxide. The package includes two devices with a declared lifespan of 10 years: an optical smoke detector (model 2030-DSR) and an electrochemical carbon monoxide detector (model K5CO). Thanks to battery power, installation requires no wiring or interference with the electrical installation, making them an ideal choice for both new apartments and the modernization of older buildings.

Reliability and smart features

Both devices have been designed to minimize false alarms while maintaining the highest level of safety. The 2030-DSR smoke detector is equipped with a patented optical sensor and the TEST & HUSH™ function. The latter allows for temporary silencing of the siren in case of an alarm caused by fumes from the kitchen or bathroom, which is crucial when mounting near cooking areas. Meanwhile, the K5CO carbon monoxide sensor utilizes an advanced electrochemical sensor that reacts even to low concentrations of gas. It is worth noting that this device features event memory – if CO levels exceeded the threshold (above 100 PPM) while residents were away, this information will be recorded and displayed upon return.

The power supply for both detectors ensures full independence from the power grid, meaning the protection system operates continuously even during power outages. In practice, this means that for the K5CO carbon monoxide sensor, it is sufficient to install two AA batteries, which guarantee a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted operation. The 2030-DSR smoke detector uses one 9V battery, which also provides multi-year protection without the need to connect cables. Both devices feature intelligent end-of-life signaling – they inform the user of the need to replace the battery or the entire device approximately 30 days before the end of the 10-year sensor lifespan.

Compliance with standards and installation safety

Safety is not only about effective threat detection but also certainty regarding manufacturing quality and regulatory compliance. The set holds the necessary certificates confirming compliance with rigorous European and Polish standards:

• The K5CO carbon monoxide sensor has the B construction mark and CNBOP-PIB and BSI certificates, confirming compliance with the PN-EN 50291-1:2018+AC:2021 standard.
• The 2030-DSR smoke detector has been tested by TÜV Rheinland and meets the requirements of the PN-EN 14604:2006 standard.

Installation is extremely simple – just screw the base to the wall or ceiling and attach the device. To prevent accidental removal by children or unauthorized persons, both models are equipped with special anti-tamper locks. The alarm signaling is clear for everyone: a red LED flashes along with a loud, pulsing sound at an intensity of 85 dB, guaranteeing awakening even during deep sleep.

With this set, you receive a ready-to-use protection system for key areas of the home – from bedrooms and living rooms to hallways and boiler rooms. You don't have to worry about complicated installation or power outages; simply check the battery status once a year to ensure the system is working correctly. This is a simple solution for professionals seeking quick installation and for home users valuing peace of mind and technological independence.
