HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
End-of-life - This alarm will chirp every 30
seconds with a red LED flash after at least 10
years operation to let you know it has
reached its end of life. A replacement needs
to be purchased.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
What to do if your alarm sounds
If alarm sounds (4 loud audible pulses
followed by a pause for 5 seconds):
• Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors
or by an open door/window. Do a head
count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not re-enter the
caravan nor move away from the open
door/window until the emergency
services responders have arrived, the
caravan has been aired out and your
alarm remains in its normal condition.
• Call Gas Emergency Services: 0800 111
999 or your local Gas Safe Registered
Engineer.
Never restart the source of the CO problem
until it has been corrected. Never ignore the
sound of the alarm! If the alarm is sounding,
pressing the test/reset button will terminate
the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the
alert in the first places continues, the alarm
will reactivate. If the unit alarms again within
six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO
which can quickly become a dangerous
situation.
WARNING: Activation of the alarm
indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
Maintenance of your alarm
To keep your alarm in good working order:
• Test every week
• Vacuum regularly to remove dust
• Keep away from solvents or detergents
• Avoid spraying air-freshener, hair-spray
near the alarm
• Do not paint the alarm. If decorating or
using adhesives close to the alarm,
remove it temporarily.

sensor and cause false alarms.
Methane, Propane, Iso-butane, Iso-propanol,
Ethylene, Benzene,Toluene, Ethyl acetate,
Hydrogen Sulphide, Hydrogen, Sulphur
Dioxide, alcohol based products, paints,
thinners, solvents, adhesives, hair-sprays,
aftershaves or perfumes and some cleaning
agents.
WARNING: This Carbon Monoxide alarm
is not a smoke alarm. It will not sense
smoke, fire or any poisonous gas other
than carbon monoxide.
