HOW TO USE YOUR CAMPERVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Operating Features
Your detector offers many features which set
it apart from other CO detectors on the
market today.
Test/Reset button feature
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry.
• Allows you to test the sensor by
introducing a source of CO into the
detector (see ‘Testing the Sensor’ ).
• Silence the loud 85dB sounder during an
alarm (only possible when current CO
level is less than 50ppm).
Testing the sounder, batteries and
circuitry
Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry by
pressing and holding the Test/Reset button
for 1 second to confirm that the detector is
operating properly. The sounder 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, batteries and circuitry should be
performed weekly.
Testing the sensor
CAUTION: Sensor testing should only be
performed by a responsible adult. This test
should only be performed once a year.
Excessive testing will cause the life of the
alarm to be shortened.
Note: Aerosol CO may be used in order to
avoid having to burn incense sticks.
Read all steps thoroughly before attempting
to test the sensor.
Step 1 If the detector is wall or ceiling
mounted unhook the detector from
the screws.
Step 2
Cover the sounder vents with one
hand. Press and hold the Test/Reset
button down with your thumb/finger
until the Power LED illuminates
green and the sounder sounds for a
second time (this should happen
after around 5 seconds). Release the
Test/Reset button. Upon releasing
the Test/Reset button the Power LED
will flash green once every second.
This indicates that the sampling rate
of the detector has increased and
can be tested using a known source
of CO.
Step 3 Light an incense stick using a match
or lighter. Be sure to blow out the
flame so that the incense stick is
smouldering. Extinguish the lighter,
or put out the match and place it into
a dish of water.
Turn the detector on its side so that
the vents on the right hand side of
the detector are pointing downwards.
Hold the burning incense stick
around 15cm (6 inches) below the
detector, so that the smoke enters
the vents on the side of the detector.
An increase in the localised carbon
monoxide level within the sensor to
more than 50ppm will cause the
sounder to sound for one cycle of
