The C16 is fitted with a Quell Smoke Alarm with Hush function. Refer to Smoke Alarm user

manual for information about operation and maintenance.

WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER CARAVAN OR MOBILE HOME

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE

Testing

Test the unit to ensure proper operation, by pressing the Test/Hush button for at least 5

seconds (or until the unit sounds). This will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn,

and battery are working.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an arms-length away

from the unit when testing.

If no alarm sounds, the unit has a defective battery or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame

to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a

fire. Erratic or faint sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm.

Low Battery

This alarm has a low battery monitor which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately

every 40-50 seconds for a minimum of 30 days when the battery gets low. Use only the

following 9-volt batteries for replacement:

Alkaline Type

• Energizer 522

• Duracell MN1604 or MX1604

Smoke Sensing Chamber Operation

This alarm will “chirp” if it detects a problem with the smoke sensing chamber. This chirp will

occur approximately 20 seconds after the flash of the red LED indicator light.

Clean the alarm. If the alarm is still chirping, replace the alarm.

LED indicators:

This alarm is equipped with a red LED indicator, with three modes of operation.

Red LED - Flashing every 40–50 seconds: Indicates that the smoke alarm is operating properly.

Red LED - Flashing: When the Test/Hush button is pressed, or when the smoke alarm senses

particles of combustion and goes into alarm (constant pulsating sound), the red LED will flash

once per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.

Red LED - Alarm silencer (Hush

mode) indication: The red LED will flash every 11 seconds,

indicating the smoke alarm is in the alarm silencer (Hush

) mode.
