Smoke detectors
Your vehicle is fitted with a
battery-operated smoke alarm
that will emit a loud pulsating
tone, should smoke be detected
in your vehicle.
Smoke alarm
Once the battery is connected,
a small indicator light positioned
near the test button should
flash approximately once every
minute. This indicates that the
alarm is operating normally. It
is recommended that you test
your smoke alarm once a week
to ensure the detector is working
correctly:
• Push and hold the 'TEST’
button for approximately
three seconds.
• A loud pulsating alarm
should sound to indicate
the detector is functioning
correctly.
• During the alarm test, the
LED indicator will flash
quickly.
If the smoke alarm emits a short
beep once a minute, the battery
is at the end of its life and should
be replaced immediately. This
low voltage warning will sound
for approximately seven days.
We would always recommend
that the battery is replaced at
least every twelve months to
ensure correct operation. If the
LED indicator does not flash
every minute, the battery should
be replaced immediately as this
will indicate that the battery is
completely flat.
Carbon monoxide alarm
If your vehicle is fitted with
a battery operated carbon
monoxide detector, it will detect
dangerous levels of carbon
monoxide in your motorhome
and sound the alarm.
Once the batteries are
connected, a small power
indicator light will flash green
once a minute to indicate that
the unit is receiving power from
the batteries and is operational.
Test the sounder, batteries
and circuitry by pressing and
holding the test/rest button for
one second to confirm that the
detector is operating properly.
A noise should sound as soon as
the button is pressed, and the
alarm LED will illuminate red,
indicating that the sounder is
working and the batteries are
providing power to the unit.
This test for the sounder and
batteries should be performed
weekly.
• Test the sounder, batteries
and circuitry of your
detector once per week by
pressing and holding the test/
reset button for one second.
• Keep the detector free from
dust by gently vacuuming
with a soft brush.
• Change the batteries in
your detector at least every
twelve months to ensure
correct operation. The
unit continually checks the
settings of its sensor and
circuitry. If any of these
settings are found to be
incorrect or if the batteries
have become low, the
detector will emit a single
audible chirp once per
minute for up to 30 days.
This does not mean that
the detector has detected
carbon monoxide.
Please note: The sensor used in
the detector has a lifetime of
approximately ten years after
activation. After this ten year
period, the entire unit should be
replaced with a similar model.
