Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane
Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane
alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/
propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.
The alarm is directly wired to the 12-volt electrical
system, with continuous power being supplied by
the recreational vehicle batteries. There is no 9-volt
battery power supply. As a result, the alarm is always
drawing a small amount of current from the recreation
vehicle batteries. Although the current draw is slight,
it could drain the batteries during extended storage
periods. This condition is not likely to occur except during storage situations when the
inverter cannot restore the battery charge.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of
the combination CO/propane alarm. This includes information regarding the limited life
of the alarm.Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and
tasteless gas. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims
are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Installing a carbon monoxide/
propane alarm is just the rst step in protecting your family from toxic
carbon monoxide poisoning.
