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.
When 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.
Test the carbon monoxide detector operation after the motorhome has been
in storage, before each trip and at least once a week during use. Test the alarm
by holding the test button in until the alarm sounds. The alarm will stop beeping
in about 30 seconds.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust or any other buildup on the detector.
Do not wash. Wipe the detector with a damp cloth and dry it with a towel. Do
not open the detector for cleaning. Do not paint the detector. It is recommend
that the carbon monoxide detector be replaced every 10 years.
