2012 Trip
The CO detector is wired to the house
batteries. This allows reliable protection by
alerting the build up of potentially dangerous
levels of Carbon Monoxide. Once powered,
the detector will run through a brief warm-up
and shelf check prior to monitoring for CO
gas.
Operation
The detector is equipped with a self-cleaning
CO sensor and requires a ten minute initial
warm-up period to clean the sensor element
and achieve stabilization. During the warm-up
period, the green power light will flash On and
Off. The green power light should be lit when
the power is on. If the light is not lit, turn off
the power and check all wire connections.
If the power is on and the connections are
correct, but the indicator still does not light,
the detector should be returned for service. Do
not attempt to fix the detector. The indicator
light displays a specific color to monitor along
with a matching sound pattern.
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 five seconds. The alarm 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 will
sound continuously until the Reset
switch is reset.
Alternating red and green indicates a
malfunctioning alarm.
Alarm
If 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
fire 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 in 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 by holding the Test/Reset
button in until the alarm sounds four beeps and
the indicator lamp is 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 flash indicate
memory is clear.
Two beeps and two red flashes indicate
less than 100 ppm.
Three beeps and three red flashes
indicate less than 200 ppm.
Four beeps and four red flashes indicate
greater than 200 ppm.
