SMOKE DETECTOR
Statistics show that most fi re casualties are not caused by direct fl ame, but by
less visible smoke (products of combustion). The smoke detector responds to both
visible and invisible products of combustion. The smoke detector will automatically
return from alarm to normal state when the presence of smoke is completely removed.
Fires are commonly caused by smoking in bed, leaving children unattended or using
fl ammable cleaning fl uids. Please be safety conscious and avoid unnecessary risk.
WARNING:
There is no way to insure 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.
Operation
When a 9 Volt DC battery is correctly connected, the smoke alarm is operating. The LED will fl ash every
minute showing the battery is supplying power. A loud alarm will sound when a product 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.
CAUTION:
Never use an open flame to test the smoke alarm. You may ignite and set fire to the alarm
and to the motorhome.
Maintenance
There are some simple steps to perform in order to keep the smoke alarm working properly:
• Test the smoke alarm once a week.
• Keep a supply of 9 Volt DC batteries on hand.
• Vacuum the slots in the cover and sides with a soft brush attachment every month. Test the smoke alarm
once the unit has been vacuumed.
• The smoke alarm will beep once a minute when a low battery condition exists to signify battery must be
immediately replaced.
