TEST PROCEDURE
!
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,
TEST THIS ALARM’S OPERATION AFTER THE RV HAS BEEN
IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE PER
WEEK DURING USE
.
!
WARNING
WARNING: THE TEST BUTTON ONLY TESTS THE
ALARM CIRCUIT NOT THE SENSORS. TO TEST THE CO
SENSOR USE A CAN OF SAFE-T-ALERT CO TEST GAS TO
TEST THE 400 PPM CALABRATION POINT. DO NOT TRY
TO GENERATE CO TO TEST THE ALARM.
The TEST/RESET
button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. It does not
check the sensor operation.
The alarm may be tested at any time -The TEST/Mute switch is
located on the front of the alarm Press and hold the test button for 1

OPERATION
Each time the unit is first powered up, the CO sensor requires a ten (10)
minute initial warm-up period to clean the sensor element and achieve
stabilization. The GREEN LED indicator will flash on and off during the 10
minute warm-up period. This unit cannot go into a CO alarm during the
warm-up period. To test your unit during the warm-up period, press the test
button. See Test Procedure in this manual. After the warm-up period, the
GREEN power ON indicator should glow continuously
If the ON indicator
light does not light, see the section,
Trouble-Shooting Guide
, in this
manual for further information.
Do not attempt to fix it yourself.
Brownout Protection -
The unit can tolerate short power interruptions and
brownouts where the circuit voltage drops as low as 1VDC. If the brownout
lasts too long, the unit will reset and operate as described above.
LOW POWER OPERATION: This alarm will operate normally
down to7 VDC. Do not operate this alarm below 7 VDC.
