HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM Switching on your CO alarm
Note: Your CO alarm must be installed by a
competent person using the following
guidance:
• Remove the batteries from the pack and
insert them into the battery compartment.
Make sure that you fit the batteries
correctly to the polarity markings (+ or -)
shown within the battery compartment. If
correctly installed the alarm will give a
short beep.
• To test the alarm, press the test button.
The alarm will beep once followed by 4
loud pulses, then a brief pause and then
4 more pulses, ending with a single beep.
• Check that the green LED flashes at 30
second intervals to show that the alarm
has power. This is easiest to see in a
dark area, or with lights switched off.

Using your alarm
Testing
Test your alarm each week by pressing the
test button. The alarm will beep once
followed by 4 loud pulses, then a brief pause
and then 4 more pulses, ending with a single
beep. While in full alarm the red LED will
flash for 10 seconds.
This confirms that the alarm is powered up
and working.
Re-setting the alarm
If the alarm sounds, the test/reset button will
silence the alarm unless it is still detecting
dangerous levels of CO. The green light will
then flash every 30 seconds to indicate that
the alarm has power.
Replacement of batteries
Under normal operating conditions, the
batteries will last a minimum of one year.
These batteries can be purchased from your
local retailer.
