This unit will not alert hearing-impaired residents. (Special
alarms with flashing strobe lights are needed for the hearing
impaired.)
Smoke detectors have a limited life and are not foolproof.
Never attempt to repair this unit. Replace the complete unit if
faulty.
Test the smoke detector after the camper has been in storage,
before each trip, and at least once a week during use.
The smoke detector should never be disabled due to nuisance
or false alarm from cooking smoke, a dusty furnace, etc.
Ventilate your camper with fresh air and the alarm will turn
off. Do not disconnect the battery.
Replace the battery once a year or immediately when the low
battery “beep” signal sounds once a minute. The detector uses
a standard 9-volt battery.
Test smoke detector operation after replacing the battery. If
the smoke detector fails to operate with a new battery, replace
the detector with a new unit.
Carbon Monoxide Gas Safety Precautions
Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It is
a combustion by-product of fuel burning engines. The engines
in your truck and generator system (if installed) produce it
constantly while they are operating.
Carbon monoxide gas is deadly. Please read and understand
the following warnings and precautions to protect yourself and
others from the effect of carbon monoxide gas.
Exhaust gases are deadly. DO NOT block the tailpipes or
situate the vehicle in a place where the exhaust gases have any
possibility of accumulating either outside, underneath, or
inside your vehicle of any nearby vehicles.
Outside air movement can carry exhaust gases inside the
vehicle through windows or other openings remote from the
exhaust outlets.
Operate the engine(s) only when safe dispersion of exhaust
gases can be assured, and monitor outside conditions to be
sure that exhaust continues to be dispersed safely.
DO NOT under any circumstances operate any engine/s while
sleeping. Be aware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)
poisoning symptoms:
Dizziness
Headache
Weakness and Sleepiness
Nausea
Vomiting
Muscular twitching
Throbbing in temples
Inability to think coherently
If symptoms indicate the possibility of monoxide gas
poisoning:
Turn off engine(s) immediately
Get out into fresh air at once
Summon medical assistance
Check the exhaust systems during routine maintenance and
repair leaks, damages, or obstruction before further operations.
DO NOT modify any exhaust system in any way.
Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.
Carbon Monoxide & Propane Detectors
A permanently installed
detector is located near the
floor in the forward
portion of the main
camper floor area. The
unit contains an alarm that
will sound, alerting you to
the presence of propane or carbon monoxide.
To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or propane
gas explosion, test this alarm’s operation after the camper has
been in storage, before each trip and at least once per week
during use.
Do not use a cigarette lighter to test the CO/Propane gas
alarm. Butane gas may damage the sensors.
DO NOT attempt to test the alarm by any other means than by
using the TEST/RESET button. DO NOT attempt to produce
CO to the alarm. The TEST/ RESET button tests all functions
of the alarm and is the ONLY safe way to be sure the alarm is
working properly.
The alarm may be tested at any time. The TEST/Mute switch
is located on the front of the alarm. Press and hold the test
button for 1 second. The alarm is working properly if the
GREEN indicator light changes color to RED and the alarm
beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also blink Red.
Operation
When the unit is first powered up, the CO sensor requires a ten
(10) minute initial warm-up period to clean the sensor element
and achieve stabilization. The GREEN LED indicator will
flash on and off during the 10-minute warm-up period. This
unit cannot go into a CO alarm during the warm-up period.
After the warm-up period, the GREEN power ON indicator
should glow continuously. If the ON indicator light does not
