Section 2: Occupant Safety
27
The alarm is directly wired to the 12-volt
electrical system, with continuous power
being supplied by the recreational vehicle
batteries. There is no 9-volt battery power
supply. As a result, the alarm is always
drawing a small amount of current from the
recreation vehicle batteries. Although the
current draw is slight, it could drain the bat-
teries during extended storage periods. This
condition is not likely to occur except during storage
situations when the inverter cannot restore the battery
charge.
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 in-
formation from the manufacturer of the combination
CO/propane alarm. This includes information regard-
ing 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 well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save
themselves by either exiting the recreational vehicle or calling for assistance. Young chil-
dren 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 appli-
ances, 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.
These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes, per-
fumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the pro-
pellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreational
vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after
the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Sec. 2, Formaldehyde).
