The smoke alarm is operational once the
battery is connected. When by-products of
combustion are sensed, the unit sounds an
alarm until the air is cleared.
B
attery
operation
The operating light (red LED) flashes every 40
seconds confirming that the unit is powered.
• Low Battery Warning: the unit will emit
an audible ‘chirp’ once every 40 seconds
for 7 days before the battery needs to be
replaced. Failure to replace the battery will
result in insufficient power to alert you in
a fire.
• Sensitivity test button: tests the circuitry,
battery and horn.
S
imple
m
aintenance
Your alarm requires one 9 volt battery. Under
normal use, the battery should last one year.
• Test the smoke alarm after the vehicle has
been in storage, before each trip and at
least once a week during use.
• Clean your smoke alarm once every three
months to help keep the unit working
correctly; gently vacuum using the soft
brush attachment.
Problems are indicated by two events:
• The alarm does not sound upon pressing the
test button.
• The operating light remains steadily on or
off (i.e. does not flash every 40 seconds,
when the unit is not in alarm).
Try the following:
• Inspect for obvious damage.
• Check that the unit contains recommended
battery type.
• Check that the battery cover has been
removed.
• Check that the battery is properly
connected.
• Gently vacuum as recommended above.
• Replace battery.
If these procedures do not correct the problem,
do NOT attempt repairs; replace the smoke
alarm.

A CO-9B battery operated alarm is fitted near
to the ceiling in your motorhome.
f
eatureS
• An advanced electrochemical sensor
designed to accurately measure low levels
of carbon monoxide (CO) providing an
early warning of toxic CO levels in your
motorhome.
• Detects carbon monoxide continuously.
• Resistant to false alarms caused by usual
household contaminants.
• Sounds a large 85dB alarm (at 1 metre (3
feet)) to alert you in case of an emergency.
• Simple to mount, portable, ideal for
travelling.
• Conforms to the British Standards Institute
(CSi) Carbon Monoxide Standard BS EN
50291: 2001.
• 7 Year Warranty.
• Test/Reset button feature.
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry.
• Allows you to test the sensor by introducing
a source of CO into the detector.
• Silence the loud 85dB sounder during an
alarm (only possible when current CO level
is less than 50ppm).
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry of
your detector once per week by pressing
and holding the Test/Reset 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. The test for the sounder, batteries and
circuitry should be performed weekly.
t
eSting
the
S
enSor
All sensor testing should be carried out by a
responsible adult. This test should only be
performed once a month. Excessive testing
will cause the battery life to be shortened.
CO test kits may be used in order
to avoid having to burn cigarettes,
incense sticks etc
