What To Do When The Alarm Sounds - Airstream LAND YACHT MOTORHOME Owner's Manual

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS:

•
Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed
or picking up valuables.
•
In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke
seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead use your alternate exit. If the inside of the
door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and
smoke rush in.
•
Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
•
Once outside go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
•
Call the fire department from your neighbor's home - not from yours!
•
Don't return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
There are situations where a smoke detector may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the
NFPA standards 72.
For instance:
a) Smoking in bed;
b) Leaving children home alone.
c) Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a pamphlet titled "IN A FIRE SECONDS COUNT"
published by the NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Mass. 02269.

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
The following information is highlights from the folder provided by the alarm manufacturer. The folder,
with more detailed information, is contained in your Owners' Packet.
Test detector immediately following installation and weekly for proper operation by pushing the test
button until the YELLOW L.E.D. lights and a short beep is heard (approximately three seconds). Release
the button. The detector will then test itself for proper operation. At completion of the self-test, the alarm
will sound and both L.E.D.s will light for 3/4 of a second. The detector then resumes normal operation.
NORMAL OPERATION
In normal operation the detector will flash the RED L.E.D. once every 30 seconds.
WARNING CONDITION
If the COSTAR senses a low level of CO The YELLOW L.E.D. will light and the detector will beep every
three seconds warning that CO is present. The area should immediately be ventilated. A concentration of 60
PPM within 67 minutes will cause the warning condition. Pushing the test button will silence the warning
signal but the YELLOW L.E.D. will stay on. After two hours the warning signal will sound again if the CO
source has not been eliminated. If the condition persists there is a possibility that it may cause the unit to
enter alarm condition (below). If this occurs pushing the reset button will silence the alarm for 30 minutes.
