Smoke Detectors
Your vehicle is fitted with a battery operated
smoke alarm that will emit a loud pulsating tone
should smoke be detected in your vehicle.
Operating The Smoke Alarm
Once the battery is connected a small indicator
light (LED) positioned near the test button should
flash approximately once every minute. This
indicates that the alarm is operating normally.
Testing Your Smoke Alarm
It is recommended that you test your smoke
alarm once a week to ensure the detector is
working correctly.
• Push and hold the ‘TEST’ button for
approximately 3 seconds.
• A loud pulsating alarm should sound to
indicate the detector is functioning correctly.
• During the alarm test the LED indicator will
flash quickly.
Maintaining Your Smoke Alarm
If the smoke alarm emits a short beep once a
minute the battery is at the end of its life and
should be replaced immediately, this low voltage
warning will sound for approximately 7 days.
We would always recommend that the battery
is replaced at least every 12 months to ensure
correct operation. If the LED indicator does not
flash every minute then the battery should be
replaced immediately as this will indicate that
the battery is completely flat.
Clean your smoke alarm regularly to prevent
dust build up. This can be done using a vacuum
cleaner with a brush attachment.
Carbon Monoxide alarm (If Fitted)
If your vehicle is fitted with a battery operated
Carbon monoxide detector it will detect carbon
monoxide in your motorhome if it should rise to
dangerous levels and sound the alarm.
Operating the Carbon Monoxide alarm
Once the batteries are connected small power
indicator light will flash green once a minute to
indicate that the unit is receiving power from the
batteries and is operational.
Testing the sounder, batteries and circuitry
Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry by
pressing and holding the test / rest button for 1
second to confirm that the detector is operating
properly. The sounder should sound as soon as
the button is pressed, and the Alarm LED will
illuminate red, indicating that the sounder is
working and the batteries are providing power to
the unit. This test for the sounder, and batteries
should be performed weekly.
Maintaining your detector
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry of your
detector once per week by pressing and
holding the test / reset button for one second.
• Keep the detector free from dust by gently
vacuuming with a soft brush
• We would recommend that you change the
