How to Test
To test the electronics of the alarm press the test button on the cover of the smoke
alarm for a few seconds. The smoke alarm will sound by making a continuous loud beep.
To complete the test sequence release the button and the alarm should stop.
To test if smoke can reach the
ionization/sensing chamber you must blow
smoke into the sensing chamber, in a careful fire
safe manner, until the alarm sounds. Do not use
an open direct flame, of any kind, or you may
damage your detector. The smoke alarm will
stop sounding once smoke has cleared the ion-
ization chamber.
NOTE: Test the smoke alarm after the motor
home has been in storage, before each trip, and
at least once a week during use.
Maintenance
Vacuum slots in cover and sides with a soft brush attachment every month. Your
smoke alarm should be cleaned every six months to help keep the unit working suffi-
ciently. Do not paint the detector.
The only acceptable batteries for use in the the smoke alarm are the Eveready 216
or equivalent. A battery should power the smoke alarm for at least one year under nor-
mal use. When the battery reaches the end of its normal life a low battery warning (inter-
mittent beeping) will indicate the need for battery replacement.
Trouble Shooting
If the alarm does not sound when the test button is pushed or with the smoke test,
try the following:
• Inspect for obvious damage.
• Check for recommended battery type.
• Check battery for proper connection, or replace battery if needed.
• Gently vacuum as recommended.
