DRIVING & SAFETY — 2
Indicator Lights and Sound Patterns:
ON
or normal condition is indicated by
green
. The CO detector has power and is
sensing air for the presence of CO Gas.
The alarm will not sound.
Flashing
red
indicates low CO alarm
condition along with
four
beeps then
OFF
for
fi
ve seconds. The alarm horn
will sound and can be reset by the
TEST/RESET
button. The CO detector
has detected the presence of 60 ppm.
Steady
red
indicates a
CO ALARM
condition. The detector has sensed the
presence of levels over 100 ppm of
Carbon Monoxide. The alarm horn will
continuously sound until the
RESET
switch is reset.
Alternating
red
and
green
indicates a
malfunction alarm.
Alarm
When the alarm sounds have the detector
and the motorhome checked by an authorized
service technician as soon as possible. Never
disconnect a CO detector to silence an annoying
alarm. Evacuate the motorhome immediately
when the red light is lit and the alarm sounds.
Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Call the nearest
fi
re department
and ask them to determine the source of the
Carbon Monoxide.
DO NOT
re-enter the
motorhome until it has been aired out and the
problem corrected.
Potential Sources of CO when operating
the motorhome:
Engine Exhaust
Portable Grills
Portable Space Heaters
Camp Fires
Gas Stoves and Ovens
Generator Exhaust
Portable Generators
Nearby Motorhomes
Defective Engine Exhaust System
Testing
Test Procedures:
Test the Carbon Monoxide detector operation
after the motorhome has been in storage, before
each trip and at least once a week during use.
Test the alarm by holding the
TEST/RESET
button in until the alarm sounds. The alarm will
sound four beeps and the indicator lamp goes
steady
red
. Six seconds later the alarm will
again beep four times and the indicator light
goes steady
green
.
Peak Level Memory:
The CO detector has the capability to
remember the level of Carbon Monoxide that
activated the alarm.
Press the
TEST/RESET
button for less than
one second and observe the visual and audible
signals.
One beep
and
one
green
fl
ash indicate
memory is clear.
Two beeps
and
two red
fl
ashes indicate
less than 100 ppm.
Three beeps
and
three
red
fl
ashes
indicate less than 200 ppm.
Four beeps
and
four red
fl
ashes
indicate greater than 200 ppm.
NOTE:
Memory is erased when power is
disconnected for 15 seconds.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust or other
buildup on the detector.
DO NOT
wash. Wipe
the detector with a damp cloth and dry with a
towel.
DO NOT
open the detector for cleaning.
DO NOT
paint the detector. It is recommend
that the Carbon Monoxide detector be replaced
every
fi
ve years.
The CO detector has no user service parts. If
there is a problem with the detector refer to an
authorized service center.
DO NOT REMOVE
POWER
.
INSPECT:
Check the CO detector weekly and at
the beginning and end of each trip.
