Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane
Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane
alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/
propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the

system, with continuous power being supplied by
the recreational vehicle batteries. There is no 9-volt
battery power supply.

disconnected at the battery terminals, the combination
alarm will not work.
