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 a production of
combustion is sensed.
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 motorhome is in use, prior to
each trip and when the motorhome 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.
Maintenance
Maintenance for Proper Operation:
Test the smoke alarm once a week.
Keep a supply of 9 Volt DC batteries
on hand.
Periodically vacuum the slots in the
cover and sides with a soft brush
attachment. Test the smoke alarm after
the unit has been vacuumed.
The smoke alarm will beep once a
minute when battery power is low.
Immediately replace the battery.
Troubleshooting
If the alarm does not sound when the test
button is pushed, or with a smoke test, try the
following:
Inspect
alarm for obvious damage.
Check for the recommended battery
type.
Check the battery for proper connection
or replace the battery if needed.
Gently vacuum as recommended.
If these procedures do not correct the
problem, Do not attempt repairs. Contact
the manufacturer of the alarm if the smoke
alarm is within the warranty period. Smoke
detectors beyond the warranty period cannot
be economically repaired.
