FIRE & SAFETY
If the localised carbon monoxide level within the
sensor does not reach 50ppm during the test,
the sensor test will stop automatically after 3
minutes.
Understanding your product’s indicators
The higher the concentration of carbon
monoxide detected by the detector, the quicker
it will respond. When sufficient carbon
monoxide is detected a loud audible signal (85
dB at 1m/3 ft) will be emitted and the Alarm LED
will flash red once every second.
The Alarm will sound:
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed
to 50ppm of CO.
• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed
to 100ppm of CO.
• Within 3 minutes when exposed to 300ppm
or more CO.
• There will be an audible ‘chirp’ if the battery,
sensor or circuitry has any fault including a
low battery. This sound will continue once a
minute for 30 days. (The battery must be
replaced to ensure occupant safety.)
• If the device continues to chirp despite
having new batteries and the product is still
in warranty then contact technical support
for the device. If the device is no longer in
warranty replace it immediately
Maintaining/ testing your detector
Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potential
hazardous CO concentrations in your
Motorhome when maintained properly. To
maintain your FireAngel detector in proper
working order and to ensure that the sensors
will last for the lifetime of the product, it is
recommended that you:
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry of
your detector once per week by pressing
and holding the Test/Reset button for 1
second.
• Perform the sensor test annually.
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment
when required.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating the
sensor in your detector and thus affecting its
reliability:
• Never use cleaning solutions on your
detector. Simply wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near to the
detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products
near to the detector
Failure of any test should be reported to the
manufacturers technical support line.
Do not attempt to repair your CO Detector. Do
not remove any screws or open the main casing
of your detector. Any attempt to do so may
cause malfunction and will invalidate the
warranty.
Never ignore any alarm.
What to do in the event of an alarm:
• Keep calm and open all the doors and
windows to ventilate your Motorhome.
• Stop using all fuel burning appliance and
ensure where possible they are turned off.
• Evacuate the Motorhome leaving doors and
windows open.
• Do not re-enter the Motorhome until the
alarm has stopped.
• Get medical help for anyone suffering the
effects of CO poisoning and advise that CO
poisoning is suspected.
• Close the windows and doors and do not
use the Motorhome again until you have
had a full service of all appliances by your
supplying retailer. In the case of gas
appliances they must be tested by a
certified installer. Please contact your
Retailer for more details.
