Fault Alarm:
Should the microprocessor sense a fault in the gas detector, a fault alarm
will sound twice every 15 seconds. The LED will alternately flash red to
green and the MUTE switch will not respond to any command. The gas
detector must be repaired or replaced.
1. Vacuum the dust off the detector cover weekly (more frequently in
dusty locations) using the soft brush attachment of the vacuum.
2. Do not spray cleaning agents or waxes directly onto the front
panel. This action may damage the sensor, cause an alarm or cause
a detector malfunction.
The motorhome is equipped with a carbon monoxide
detector. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless
and tasteless gas. Even low levels of CO have been
known to cause brain and other vital organ damage in
unborn infants. In cases of mild exposure the symptoms
may include: a slight headache, nausea, vomiting and
fatigue. Symptoms for medium exposure may include
a severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion
and fast heart rate. Extreme exposure can result in
unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory fail-
ure and death. Young children and household pets may
be the first affected. The CO detector is designed to
detect the toxic CO fumes that result from vehicle
exhaust and incomplete combustion sources like a fur-
nace, gas stove or water heater. Consequently, it is
uncommon for household smoke from cigarettes or nor-
mal cooking to cause the alarm to sound.
NOTE: Activation of this device indicates the presence of car-
bon monoxide (CO) which can be fatal. A concentration of
above 100 PPM will cause a warning condition. Individuals
with medical problems may consider using detection devices
with lower carbon monoxide alarming capabilities.
Prolonged exposure to the horn at a close distance may
be harmful to your hearing.
