Occupant Safety
Batteries
The CO alarm will not function if the batteries are missing,
disconnected, dead, the wrong type of battery is used or the
batteries are installed incorrectly. When the batteries become
weak, the CO alarm will "beep" (the low battery warning).
If the low battery warning sounds, the batteries MUST be
replaced. Never disconnect the batteries to silence the CO
alarm.
Testing the CO alarm
Press and hold the test/reset button on the front of the CO
alarm for several seconds. If the CO alarm does not test prop-
erly, replace it immediately.
Maintenance
The CO alarm is pre-calibrated at the OEM factory and re-
quires no maintenance other than to clean the outside casing
occasionally with a cloth. Ensure that the holes on the front
of the CO alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust. DO NOT
USE CLEANING AGENTS, BLEACH OR POLISH.
PROPANE GAS ALARM
For your safety, a new RV that contains a propane gas system
with propane consuming appliances must have a propane
leak detection device. Because the chemical composition
of propane is heavier than air, the propane alarm is located
near the floor of the RV (leaking propane tends to flow to and
pocket in low areas). A lit green LED indicates when the facto-
ry-installed alarm is active. Individuals with medical problems,
or who are hard of hearing, should consider using warning
devices that provide both audible and visual signals.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence of propane gas;
however, there are other combustible fumes or vapors that
may be detected by the sensor including (but not limited to)
acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline. These chemicals can
be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, co-
lognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine,
liquor, most cleaning agents and the propellants of aerosol
cans. High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive
vapors. If you close up your RV on a hot day, the chemicals
used in its construction may be detected for months after the
vehicle was constructed (see Formaldehyde).
