SAFETY
BRK (First Alert) Carbon Monoxide Alarm Operation
(Model: CO250RVA)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a BRK (First Alert) carbon monoxide alarm (Model: CO250RVA).
If The CO Alarm Sounds
WARNING
!
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence
of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In
other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you
must not ignore it!
IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS
1. If you hear the alarm horn and the Red light is
flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO
NOT disconnect the battery from the CO Alarm! Do a
head count to check that all persons are accounted
for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away
from the open door or window until the emergency
services responder has arrived, the premises have
been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its
normal condition.
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911.
3. After following steps 1-2, if your CO Alarm reactivates
within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-2 and call
a qualified appliance technician to investigate for
sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and
appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this
equipment. If problems are identified during this
inspection have the equipment serviced immediately.
The detector is equipped with a “sensor activation strip,”
which must be removed for the detector to operate
properly. This should have been done during the dealer’s
Pre-Delivery Inspection. Please check the detector to
verify that the activation strip has been removed. The
CO detectors are self-contained and do not require any
maintenance other than normal cleaning and dusting.
Install battery or batteries into the battery holder, and
observe the polarity. After approximately 30 seconds, the
battery-operated detector will begin monitoring for carbon
monoxide, making the device operational. The test/reset
button is used to test the detector’s electronics and reset
the detector after an alarm. Test the detector weekly.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors
WARNING
!
Under no circumstance should you operate any
engine while sleeping. When you are sleeping, you
are not able to monitor outside conditions to assure
that engine exhaust does not enter into the coach.
Check the exhaust system frequently for damage. If
damage is found, do not operate the system. Never
modify the exhaust system(s) in any way.
Welcome Chirp
Horn chirps and light blinks once when
batteries are first connected.
Alarm Receiving Battery
Power
Light flashes every minute. Horn is silent.
Low Battery Warning
The light continues to flash (RED) and
the horn also "chirps" once every
minute. This warning should last for up
to 30 days, but you should replace the
batteries as soon as possible.
During Testing
Light flashes RED with the horn pattern
(4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps), simulating a
CO Alarm condition.
CO Alarm
Sensor has detected enough CO to
trigger an alarm. Light flashes rapidly and
horn sounds loudly (repeating 4 beeps,
pause). During an alarm, move everyone
to a source of fresh air. DO NOT move
the CO Alarm!
CO Alarm Requires Service
(Malfunction Signal)
The light flashes (RED) and the horn
sounds 3 "chirps" every minute. CO
Alarm needs to be replaced.
CO Alarm Has Reached Its
End of Life
The light flashes (RED) and the horn
sounds 3 "chirps" every minute. CO
Alarm needs to be replaced.
A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will
alarm if CO levels rise quickly (if the heat exchanger on
your furnace breaks, for example), of if CO is consistently
present (a slow CO leak on a fuel-burning appliance).
This Carbon Monoxide alarm features a permanently
installed sensor and an 85 dB alarm horn. It also has a
silence feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.
