The Kidde 900-CUDR-V is a battery-powered (2 AA included) combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with self-testing and voice alerts. It announces 'Fire!' when smoke is detected and 'Warning, Carbon Monoxide' for CO events. Self-testing components continuously verify the alarm is functioning. The photoelectric sensor detects visible fire particles associated with slow smoldering fires. An included mounting bracket supports 4 installation orientations. This model is replaced by the 30CUDR-V.
How does voice help during an alarm?
Voice alerts clearly announce whether you have a smoke or CO emergency — eliminating the need to think about what the beep pattern means. 'Fire!' tells you to evacuate immediately; 'Warning, Carbon Monoxide' tells you to get fresh air and call emergency services.
What replaces the 900-CUDR-V?
Kidde recommends upgrading to the 30CUDR-V, the current DETECT line battery combo alarm with voice alerts and enhanced sensing technology.
