OCCUPANT SAFETY

A
LARM
Some of the most common fire safety issues
are burning candles, smoking in bed, leaving
children unattended and cleaning with
flammable fluids. The smoke detector is
intended to help reduce those risks.
Your motor home is equipped with a smoke
alarm that is listed for use in a recreation
vehicle. They are not fool proof. Smoke
alarms only work if they are operational and
maintained. Be sure to read, understand and
follow the owner’s information from the
manufacturer of the smoke alarm included in
your Warranty Packet, including information
regarding the limited life of smoke alarms.
Please be aware the smoke alarm cannot
detect fires if the smoke does not reach it.
Anything preventing smoke from reaching the
alarm may delay or prevent an alarm (i.e., a
closed door may prevent smoke from
reaching an alarm on the other side of the
door, etc.).
There are instances when the smoke detector
alarm may not be heard. Though the alarm
horn in this detector meets or exceeds current
UL standards, it may not be heard for many
reasons. These include (but not limited to): a
closed or partially closed door, the alarm may
be drowned out by other noise like the TV,
stereo, traffic, weather, air conditioner or other
appliances.
Operation
The smoke alarm is operational once the
battery is correctly installed. The LED light
will indicate the battery is functioning properly.
When the production of combustion is
sensed, the smoke detector sounds a loud
alarm that continues until the air is cleared.
The LED light will also give a visual indication
of a sounding alarm.
Do not turn the electrical power back on or
plug in any appliances after the use of a
fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire
extinguisher’s user manual for further
instructions on maintenance and clean up.
How to test
Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm
when testing as the alarm horn may be
harmful to your hearing. The alarm horn is
loud to alert you to an emergency. The test
button will accurately test all functions. Never
use an open flame from a match or lighter to
test this smoke alarm.
A warning label is located near the smoke
alarm (Fig. 2.2). Please do not remove the
following label from your motor home.
Fig. 2.2 Test smoke alarm
This smoke alarm will not alert hearing
impaired residents. Special alarms wit
flashing strobe lights are recommended for
the hearing impaired.
Test the smoke alarm operation after the
vehicle has been has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per
week during use. Do not disconnect the
battery or the alarm.
