Smoke Detector
Statistics show that most fire casualties are
not caused by direct flame, but by less visible
smoke (products of combustion). The smoke
detector automatically returns from alarm to
normal state when the reason for activation,
the presence of smoke, is completely removed.
Reduce risk of fire by being safety conscious.
WARNING:
There is no way to ensure against
injury or loss of life in a fire; however,
the smoke detector is intended to help
reduce the risk of tragedy. Additional
smoke detectors may help to reduce
the risk. Proper use and care of the
smoke detector could save lives.
INFORMATION:
Refer to the smoke detector OEM
manual for detailed information and
maintenance information.
Operation
When a 9 Volt DC battery is correctly
connected the LED flashes every minute and
a loud alarm will sound when products of
combustion is detected.
NOTE:
The unit will not operate without
a battery. A battery flag will pop
up preventing the unit from being
installed to the mounting bracket
without a battery. Carbon Zinc
batteries average a service life of one
year. Alkaline batteries average a
service life of one to two years.
Testing
Simply press the test button on the smoke
alarm cover for approximately three seconds.
The alarm will sound if all electronic circuitry,
horn and battery are working properly. The
smoke alarm should be tested at least once a
week when the recreational vehicle is in use,
prior to each trip and when the recreational
vehicle has been in storage. When testing the
smoke alarm it is advised to stand at arm’s
length or muffle the alarm.
CAUTION:
Never use an open flame to test the
smoke alarm as this may ignite the
alarm or surrounding area.
