! IMPORTANT: The selected power pack
was chosen to provide power beyond the
lifetime of the product, in particular the
sensor (under normal operating conditions).
The operational life of the sensor is seven
years, for this reason, the detector should
be replaced after seven years from the date
of installation.

Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your caravan
when maintained properly. To maintain your
FireAngel detector in proper working order,
and to ensure that the sensor will last for the
lifetime of the product, it is recommended that
you:
• Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry
of your detector at least once per week by
pressing the Test/Reset button briefly (see
above).
• Perform the Sensor Test once every month
(See p42).
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming the case with a soft brush
attachment once per month.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating the
sensor in your detector and thus affecting its
reliability:
• Never use cleaning solutions on your
detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp
cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the
detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products near
the detector.
• Move the detector to a safe location and
store in a plastic bag before painting, wall
papering, or performing any other activities
using substances that emit strong fumes.
Remember to remove it from the bag and
replace the detector when these activities are
finished.
Failure of any test should be reported to the
Fireangel Technical Support Team. Do not
attempt to repair your CO detector. Do not
remove any screws or open the main casing
of your detector. Any attempt to do so may
cause malfunction and will invalidate the
warranty.
What to do in the event of an
alarm
! WARNING: A loud alarm is a warning
that unusually high and potentially lethal
levels of carbon monoxide are present.
Never ignore this alarm, further exposure
can be fatal. Immediately check residents for
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
and contact the proper authorities to resolve
all CO problems.
NEVER IGNORE ANY ALARM.
Please carefully review this owner’s manual to
ensure that you know what actions to take in
the event of an alarm.
What to do during an alarm
Within 3 minutes when exposed to a minimum
of 300ppm of CO.
• Keep calm and open the doors and windows
to ventilate the property.
• Stop using all fuel burning appliances and
ensure, if possible, that they are turned off
• Evacuate the caravan leaving the doors and
windows open.
• Do not re-enter the caravan until the alarm
has stopped. When exposed to fresh air it
can take up to 10 minutes for the sensor to
clear and the alarm to stop depending on the
level of carbon monoxide detected.
• Get medical help immediately for anyone
suffering the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning (headache, nausea), and
