SMOKE ALARM
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 RV 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.
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. 2.1). Please do not remove
the following label from your RV.
