SECTION 2 — DRIVING & SAFETY
52
CAMELOT 2007
WARNING
Constant beeping and a flashing red
light means CO gas has been detected.
Shut off appliances, motorhome
engine, and water heater. Evacuate the
motorhome and call the fire department.
Have any problems corrected before
restarting any appliances or the coach.
The CO detector is wired to the house batteries
to allow reliable and continuous protection by
alerting the build up of potentially dangerous
levels of CO. The battery cut-out switch must
be on. Once the unit is powered, it will run
through a brief warm-up and self check prior to
monitoring for CO gas. There are no switches
that can accidentally turn the system off.
Operation
The detector is equipped with a self-cleaning
CO sensor and requires a ten minute initial
warm-up period to clean the sensor element
and achieve stabilization. During the warm-up
period, the green power light will ash ON and
OFF. The green power light should be lit when
the power is on. If the light is not lit, turn off
the power and check all wire connections. If
the power is on and the connections are correct,
but the indicator still does not light, the detector
should be returned for service. Do not attempt
to x the detector. The indicator light displays a
specic color to monitor along with a matching
sound pattern.
Indicator Lights and Sound Patterns:
ON or normal condition is indicated by
green. The CO detector has power and is
sensing air for the presence of CO Gas.
The alarm horn will not sound.
Flashing red indicates low CO alarm
condition along with
four beeps then
OFF for ve seconds. The alarm horn
will sound and can be reset by the
TEST/RESET button. The CO detector
has detected the presence of 60 ppm.
Steady red indicates a CO ALARM
condition. The detector has sensed the
presence of levels over 100 ppm of
Carbon monoxide. The alarm horn will
sound continuously until the
RESET
switch is reset.
Alternating red and green indicates a
malfunctioning alarm.
Alarm
When the alarm sounds have the detector and
the motorhome checked by an authorized service
technician as soon as possible. Never disconnect
a CO detector to silence an annoying alarm.
Evacuate the motorhome immediately when the
red light is lit and the alarm sounds. Do a head
count to check that all persons are accounted for.
Call the nearest re department and ask them to
determine the source of the Carbon Monoxide.
Do not re-enter the motorhome until it has been
aired out and the problem corrected.
Potential Sources of CO when operating
the motorhome:
Engine Exhaust
Portable Grills
Portable Space Heaters
Camp Fires
Gas Stoves and Ovens
Generator Exhaust
Portable Generators
Nearby Motorhomes
Defective Engine Exhaust System
Testing
Test Procedures:
Test the Carbon Monoxide detector operation
after the motorhome has been in storage, before
each trip and at least once a week during use.
Test the alarm by holding the
TEST/RESET
button in until the alarm sounds. The alarm will
sound four beeps and the indicator lamp goes
steady red. Six seconds later the alarm will
again beep four times and the indicator light
goes steady
green.
Peak Level Memory:
The CO detector has the capability to
remember the level of Carbon Monoxide that
activated the alarm. Press the TEST/RESET
button for less than one second and observe the
visual and audible signals.
