HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
four loud beeps and the Power LED
to illuminate green for a short time.
This is the end of the test. The Power
LED will no longer flash green every
second but will revert to flashing
once every minute as the detector
will go back to normal operating
mode (it may take up to two minutes
of exposure to the smoke for the
localised level of carbon monoxide
within the sensor to reach over
50ppm). Now move the source of CO
away from the detector as the test is
finished.
Step 5 After step 4, put out the incense stick
by placing it into a dish of water.
Ensure that all flames have been
extinguished.
Note: 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 the products 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 feet) 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 of CO.
Fault/End of Life signal:
The unit continuously checks the settings of
its sensor and circuitry. If any of these
settings are found to be incorrect of if the
batteries become low then the detector will
emit a single audible chirp once per minute
for up to 30 days.
IMPORTANT: This does
NOT mean that the detector has detected
carbon dioxide.
Replace batteries immediately. If the product
continues to chirp despite having new
batteries and the product is still within
warranty then contact Technical Support for
advice. If the product is no longer in warranty
replace it immediately.
Maintaining/testing your detector
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your home
when maintained properly. To maintain your
detector in proper working order and to
ensure that the sensor 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 the case with a soft brush
attachment every 3 months.
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 slightly damp
cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the
detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products
near the detector.
• If installing in a caravan or boat there
may be other substances present that
may not normally be found in the home
that could affect the reliability of the CO
alarm. Avoid using the following in close
proximity to the alarm; oils, cleaning
fluids, polishes, paints and greases.
• 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.
