Operation - Holiday Admiral 2016 Manual

Young children and household pets may be
the first affected. Other highly sensitive people
include the elderly and those with lung or
heart disease or anemia. The CO detector is
designed to detect the toxic CO Gas resulting
from incomplete combustion of any fuel.
This can be gasoline, propane, natural gas,
oil, charcoal or wood. Anything that burns
fuel such as engines, generators, furnaces,
gas stoves or water heaters, produce CO Gas.
Consequently, it is uncommon for household
smoke from cigarettes or normal cooking to
cause the alarm to sound.
CAUTION:
Activation of this device indicates the
presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO),
which can be fatal. A concentration of
above 100 PPM will cause a warning
condition. Individuals with medical
problems may consider using detection
devices with lower Carbon Monoxide
alarming capabilities. Prolonged
exposure to the horn at a close distance
may be harmful to hearing.
WARNING:
Constant beeping and a flashing
red light means CO gas has been
detected. Shut off all sources of
CO such as propane appliances,
the engine, generator etc. Open
vents and windows to ventilate the
motorhome. Evacuate the motorhome
until conditions are safe to re-enter.
Determine the source of the alarm and
have the problems corrected before
resuming operation.
The CO detector is wired to the house
batteries. This allows reliable protection by
alerting the build up of potentially dangerous
levels of Carbon Monoxide. Once powered,
the detector will run through a brief warm-up
and shelf check prior to monitoring for CO
gas.

Operation

The detector is equipped with a self-cleaning
CO sensor and requires a ten minute initial
warm-up period to clean the sensor element
and achieve stabilization. During the warm-up
period, the green power light will flash On and
Off. The green power light should be lit when
the power is on. If the light is not lit, turn off
the power and check all wire connections.
If the power is on and the connections are
correct, but the indicator still does not light,
the detector should be returned for service. Do
not attempt to fix the detector. The indicator
light displays a specific color to monitor along
with a matching sound pattern.
Indicator Lights and Sound Patterns:
On or normal condition is indicated by
z
green. The CO detector has power and
is sensing air for the presence of CO
Gas. The alarm will not sound.
Flashing red indicates low CO alarm
z
condition along with four beeps then
off for five seconds. The alarm will
sound and can be reset by the Test/
Reset button. The CO detector has
detected the presence of 60 ppm.
2016 Admiral
Steady red indicates a CO alarm
z
condition. The detector has sensed
the presence of levels over 100 ppm
of Carbon Monoxide. The alarm will
sound continuously until the Reset
switch is reset.
Alternating red and green indicates a
z
malfunctioning alarm.
Alarm
If the alarm sounds, have the detector and
the motorhome checked by an authorized
service technician as soon as possible. Never
disconnect a CO detector to silence an
annoying alarm. Evacuate the motorhome
immediately when the red light is lit and the
alarm sounds. Do a head count to check that
all persons are accounted for. Call the nearest
fire department and ask them to determine
the source of the Carbon Monoxide. Do not
re-enter the motorhome until it has been aired
out and the problem corrected.
