Do you have a question about the KN-COSM-IBA and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Why do I get a beep about 30 seconds apart
How can I turn it off
The Kidde KN-COSM-IBA beeps every 30 seconds ten years after it is first powered to indicate that it has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced immediately. In this condition, it will not detect carbon monoxide.

date shown on back of detector base is 2020 Sept 22. Is this the date of expiration and needs replacement?
If the date September 22, 2020, on the back of the Kidde KN-COSM-IBA detector is the manufacturing or first power-up date, then the unit would reach its end of life 10 years later, in 2030. Therefore, it is not the expiration date but may indicate the start of the 10-year lifespan.
