The alarm is wired directly to the 12-volt electrical system, with continuous power being
supplied by the recreation vehicle battery. There is no 9-volt battery power supply in the
carbon monoxide/propane alarm.
If the battery cable is disconnected at the battery
terminals, the combination alarm will not work.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of
the combination CO/propane alarm supplied in your Warranty Packet. This includes
information regarding the limited life of the alarm.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they
are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the vehicle or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may
be the first affected.
Your combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is designed to detect the toxic carbon
monoxide fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from
appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A carbon monoxide/propane alarm is
NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon
monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of
combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Please note that
there are hazards against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as
natural gas leaks or explosions.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide/propane gas, however
there are other combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including
(but not limited to ): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline.
WARNING
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be
discussed with all members of the household:
Mild exposure
: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-
like” symptoms).
Medium exposure : Severe throbbing headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart
rate.
Extreme exposure : Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.
WARNING
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide fumes rests
solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is just the first step in
protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poisoning
