If the alarm does not sound when the test button is pushed, or with a
smoke test, try the following:
• Inspect for obvious damage.
• Check for the recommended battery type.
• Check the battery for proper connection, or replace the battery
if needed.
• Gently vacuum as recommended.
If these procedures do not correct the problem do not attempt repairs. If
the smoke alarm is within the warranty period and the terms indicate the
nature of the problem, return the unit to your dealer. Smoke detectors beyond
the warranty period cannot be economically repaired.
Abnormal air conditions may cause the highly sensitive smoke alarm to
give a false alarm. If no fire is apparent ventilate the room and/or blow fresh
air into the motorhome until the alarm stops. Once cleared, the smoke alarm
will automatically reset. Dust can lead to excessive sensitivity. Vacuum as
needed.
Provide for safety is a gas detector.
This gas detector will detect both LP gas
and Methane Gas. Liquefied Petroleum
(LP) Gas is heavier than air, Methane Gas
is lighter than air. LP Gas will settle to the
lowest point, generally the floor of the
motorhome. Methane Gas will rise. The gas
detector is also sensitive to other fumes
such as hair spray, of which most contain
butane as the propellant. Butane, like
propane is heavier than air and will settle to
the floor level where it will be detected.
When this occurs, press reset button to stop
the alert sound for 60 seconds.
The other combustible which will be detected include alcohol, liquor,
deodorants, colognes, perfumes, wine, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, gasoline,
glues, most cleaning agents and propellant of aerosol cans. Most are lighter
than air in their vapor state and will only be detected when the motorhome is
closed up.
Upon first application of power the LED will flash yellow for 3 minutes
while the detector is stabilizing. At the end of the start cycle the LED will
turn Green, indicated full operation. If the detector senses unsafe levels of
gas it will immediately sound alarm.
