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
responds to both visible and invisible 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. Fires are
commonly caused by smoking in bed, leaving children unattended or using
flammable cleaning fluids. Be safety conscious and avoid unnecessary risk.
WARNING:
There is no way to insure 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.
Operation
When a 9 Volt DC battery is correctly connected, the smoke alarm is operating. The LED flashes every minute
showing the battery is supplying power. A loud alarm sounds when a production of combustion is sensed.
NOTE:
The unit will not operate without a battery. A battery flag pops 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
Press the test button on the smoke alarm cover for approximately three seconds. The alarm sounds 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.
CAUTION:
Never use an open flame to test the smoke alarm as this may ignite the alarm or surrounding
area and set fire to the recreational vehicle.
Maintenance
Steps to keep the smoke alarm working properly:
• Test the smoke alarm once a week.
• Keep a supply of 9 Volt DC batteries on hand.
• Vacuum the slots in the cover and sides with a soft brush attachment every month. Test the smoke alarm
once the unit has been vacuumed.
• The smoke alarm beeps once a minute when a low battery exists. Replace battery immediately.
