SOURCE: carbon monoxide detector err code

You are going to hate this as much as I did!
In the manual you will read this ..

Manual for Kidde Nighthawk C02 Detector
On page 13
----------------------------------
Unit Malfunction
In the rare event that your alarm malfunctions,
it will alert you with a short “chirp” and the red
LED will flash once every 30 seconds. The
digital model will display “Err” as shown in
Fig. 6.
Seven years after initial power up, this unit will "chirp" every
30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm.
The unit will not detect CO in this condition. Please replace
immediately.

Detecotrs have a limited lifespan of 5-7 years. So sounds like you need new one (It's not worth to buy just a sensor). Take a look on amazon: Amazon com Carbon monoxide detector (watch out on reviews). I hope this was helpful. cheers

I hve a number J90 on my detector what that means

Kidde AC Plug in Operated Carbon Monoxide AlarmKN COB LCB

The above link is to get a copy of the user guide. However, it does not show anything regarding an error code J90...in fact, I can find no reference to this code on the Kidde website. You would be well-advised to call their support number or contact them through their website: "Call our Product Support Line at 1-800-880-6788 or contact us at our website at www.kidde.com". If you get a definitive answer it would be nice if you would post it here for others to see. Thank you.

I have a nighthawk carbon monoxide detector but no instructions is 8 in he digital display box dangerous

8 isn't normally dangerous but depending on your health it could cause issues. The reading is the % of carbon monoxide in the air. 35% will make you sick or worse, in time. The lower the better. If you have 8%, find out what you are using that creates CO and vent it better. If you are using a space heater, find a way to get more fresh air into the room when you use it. I was nailed with CO poisoning about 20 years ago and I still have problems from it. It isn't a joke.

How do I use my nighthawk carbon monoxide/explosive gas alarm to check the levels of carbon monoxide in my home?

If it's plugged in, has a fresh battery and shows no error code, it should be doing the job. *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

I have a nighthawk carbon monoxide alarm which is showing nan error code. Please can you tell me what to do to rectify it? Thank you.

You can unplug the unit if it's an AC detector, change the battery for a new one and reset the Carbon Monoxide Detector. If that doen't work, you can have it checked by your local fire department. If the unit is more than 5 years old, it absolutely needs to be replaced.

Whenever in doubt about the efficiency of a carbon monoxide detector, a replacement is recommended. Yes, protection has a price, but a life cannot be replaced.

My nighthawk Kidde carbon monoxide detector keeps beeping every 25-30 seconds. Do I need to buy a new one?

Some models of Carbon Monoxide Detectors will give an audible beep every 25-30 seconds after it has sounded an alert alarm. This may have happened when there was noone home to hear it. A periodic beeping sound may also indicate it is time to change the battery.

Solution: Install a new battery and check your manual for instructions on how to reset the system. Check the expiry date on your unit, it needs to be replaced after 5 to 7 years, according to the manufacturer specifications.

If you are in doubt that your Carbon Monoxide Detector is not working effectively, REPLACE IT. Your safety and your peace of mind is worth it.
