Carbon Monoxide Detector; Operating Instructions - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

The motorhome is equipped with a carbon monoxide
detector. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless
and tasteless gas. Even low levels of CO have been
known to cause brain and other vital organ damage in
unborn infants, with no effect on the mother. In cases of
mild exposure the symptoms may include: a slight
headache, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Symptoms for
medium exposure may include a severe throbbing
headache, drowsiness, confusion and fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure can result in unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure and death.
Young children and household pets may be the first
affected. The CO detector is designed to detect the toxic
CO fumes that result from vehicle exhaust and incomplete
combustion sources like a furnace, gas stove or water
heater. Consequently, it is uncommon for household
smoke from cigarettes or normal cooking to cause the
alarm to sound.
NOTE: 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
your hearing.
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. 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 the conditions as follows:
• Green - Indicates ON or normal condition. The CO detector has
power and is sensing air for the presence of CO gas. The alarm
horn will not sound.
• Yellow - Indicates a "trouble" or malfunction condition. The
alarm horn will sound and cannot be reset by the TEST/RESET
button. The CO detector is not working properly and must be
immediately replaced or repaired.
• Red - Indicates an "alarm condition." The detector has sensed
the presence of a hazardous level of carbon monoxide. The alarm
horn will sound continuously until the RESET switch is reset.
