equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure
that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent
to the recreation vehicle.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the alarm serviced immediately. Note
any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer's
instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about carbon
monoxide safety and this alarm
Alarm signals
Normal operation: The LED will maintain a steady green light, indicating that the
alarm is powered.
CO alarm condition: The red LED light will remain steady and the alarm will sound 4
"BEEPS" then silent for 5 seconds. These signals indicate immediate action is required.
Propane gas alarm: The red LED flash and the alarm will sound a steady tone. These
signals indicate immediate action is required.
Alarm malfunction/low battery: The gas LED will remain off and the Operational/
CO LED will alternate red/green and the alarm will sound once every 15 seconds.
End of life alarm: The LED will flash red/red, green/green and the alarm will "BEEP"
every 25-30 seconds. The alarm should be immediately replaced.
Maintenance
Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a cloth dampened
in clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not spray the front panel of the alarm with cleaning
agents or waxes. This action may damage the sensor causing an alarm or cause the alarm to
malfunction. Do not paint the face of the alarm.
Testing the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm
Test the alarm operation after the RV has been in storage, before each trip and
at least once per week during use.
The TEST/RESET button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. 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 horn
beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also blink red.
NOTE: Pressing the test button does not check the sensor opera-
tion. Refer to the carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturers
user's manual provided with your recreation vehicle for additional
information on testing the sensors.
Repair or replace the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm when the alarm no
longer functions. As with any electronic product, it has a limited life. Alarms that do not
work cannot protect you.
