TOILET DOES NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLE FOR BASIC REPAIRS (if necessary)

Flush ball seal – Dometic’s revolutionary ball seal allows future replacement of worn or damaged ball seals without requiring tools or toilet disassembly. The ball seal can be changed in just a few minutes without removing the toilet from the floor. Detailed replacement instructions are included with replacement ball seal kits.

Snap-in water valve cartridge –

Allows easy replacement of worn or damaged water valves. In cold climates, be sure to follow winterizing procedure in owner’s manual to help avoid water valve failure.

Refer to replacement instructions in new water valve kit prior to removal or installation of water valve assembly.

Factory-sealed bowl-to-base assembly – Unlike other Dometic footpedal toilets, the bowl and base of

310 and 320 series toilets should not be separated for any reason .

28

Each Dometic toilet is 100% factory-tested to assure a watertight seal in the toilet bowl before it is shipped.

After installation at the RV or other vehicle factory, the entire toilet and waste tank system is floodtested for leaks by filling the system with water to the rim of the toilet bowl. This process requires holding the flush ball open with a device which may temporarily distort the ball seal from its original shape and, as a result, cause the seal to leak water into the waste tank during normal use. The ball seal may need to be reconditioned to its original shape.

IF NEW TOILET DOES NOT HOLD WATER IN BOWL…

Please follow the procedures below before attempting to replace the seal.

1. Hold flush ball in full open position by pressing on pedal.

2. Using finger, apply moderate downward pressure around edge of ball seal.

3. Close flush ball.

4. Keeping flush ball closed, pour one quart of hot tap water into toilet bowl.

5. Let water cool completely.

6. Check for leak.

If leak still persists, flush ball seal should be replaced. Follow instructions provided with replacement seal kit.

Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Installation / Operation

6.2 Toilet installation

1. To replace an older toilet , turn off water supply to toilet. Remove and drain water supply line.

Remove toilet hold-down bolts/screws. Remove toilet from floor. Remove and discard old floor flange seal and hold-down bolts. Verify center of floor flange is at least 10 inches / 254 mm (for model 310) or 11 inches / 279 mm (for model 320) from back wall (fig. 3 A, page 3). Make sure top surface of floor flange is clean and free of any debris or sealant.

2. If installing a new floor flange, make certain that toilet mounting holes are located at the correct angle (fig. 3 B, page 3). Floor flange must be secured to floor with a minimum of four screws

(8 is preferred). Insert two supplied T-bolts into slots in floor flange (fig. 4 , page 3).

3. Verify that floor flange seal is installed on base of toilet (fig. 5 A, page 3). Carefully set toilet over floor flange. Align holes in toilet base with T-bolts as toilet is lowered onto floor flange.

Toilet must be aligned so that outlet of base fits inside of floor flange outlet hole.

Note

Entire toilet base does not rest completely on floor yet. Floor seal must be compressed in following steps.

4. Install floor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts to 30-40 inchpounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Alternate between sides when tightening to prevent distortion of base. When tight, base should be securely attached and flat against floor.

Attach bolt covers onto nuts. (Fig. 5 B, page 3)

5. If toilet is being installed in a shower stall, apply a bead of caulk around base of toilet to prevent water seepage under base.

6. Connect water supply line and torque connection to 30-40 inch-pounds.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 5 C, page 3)

7. Turn on water supply line. Flush toilet several times and check for leaks.

7 Operation

7.1 Add water to bowl

To add water to the toilet, press the flush pedal part way down. Water flows into the bowl while flush ball remains closed. If the flush ball moves, let up on the pedal slightly. Adding water to an empty bowl helps prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space. Adding water is recommended prior to flushing solids and toilet paper.

Flush directions are located under toilet seat lid.

7.2 Flush toilet

To flush, press pedal down until it contacts the floor. Release pedal after complete flush.

• When flushing liquids, press the pedal for 1-2 seconds.

• When flushing solids, press pedal until contents are rinsed from bowl. Flushing longer than necessary will cause holding tank to fill too quickly.

A small amount of water will collect in the bowl after a flush to create an airtight seal.

Note

To prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space, make sure a small amount of water remains in the toilet bowl.

Cleaning / Winterization and storage Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet

8 Cleaning

8.1 Routine toilet cleaning

For routine cleaning, use SeaLand ® Toilet Bowl Cleaner. If you cannot find it in your area, contact

Dometic for your nearest dealer. If the cleaner is not available, use most any non-abrasive bathroom and toilet bowl cleaner. Please follow label instructions.

8.2 Flush ball/seal cleaning

After a period of time, mineral deposits from hard water may build up on the flush ball or seal, resulting in a slow water leak. To prevent this, periodically clean the flush ball and seal.

1. Remove minor debris from the flush ball and seal by slowly pressing and releasing the flush pedal several times. This will loosen and rinse debris from the surfaces.

Repeat several times for stubborn buildup.

2. If step 1 does not fully clean the ball and seal, clean with a soft bristle brush and SeaLand toilet bowl cleaner. Fully clean the top of the flush ball and under the seal where it contacts the flush ball. After cleaning underside of seal, apply light downward pressure to top of seal while brushing around full perimeter of seal.

3. If this does not correct a leaking seal, it may require replacement.

9 Winterization and storage

When a Dometic toilet is stored for long periods of time or may be exposed to temperatures below freezing, the toilet must be winterized or stored according to one of the following procedures.

Caution

This toilet is not intended for use when exposed to temperatures below freezing.

Caution

Never use automotive-type antifreeze (ethylene glycol) in freshwater systems.

Note

Use nontoxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) designated for potable water systems.

(See vehicle owner’s manual.)

Storage options

Non-toxic Antifreeze Winterization (recommended method)

1. Pour antifreeze in potable water tank according to instructions from antifreeze manufacturer.

2. Flush toilet several times until antifreeze has flowed completely through toilet. For toilets with hand sprayer, the hand sprayer must be turned on to assure antifreeze is cycled through the sprayer.

Drain Water from Toilet

1. Turn off water supply to toilet.

2. Remove water supply line from water valve.

3. Place a small container under water valve inlet to catch draining water.

(continued on next page)

DOMETIC PORCELAIN TOILET AND PARTS LIST

Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Winterization and storage

4. Press flush pedal and allow water to completely drain from water valve and vacuum breaker.

5. Leave water line disconnected until threat of freezing temperature is past.

Note

Never leave vehicle or premises unoccupied for extended periods of time with municipal water supply or onboard water pump turned on when there is a possibility of freezing temperature.

IMPORTANT:

Toilet warranty does not cover freeze-damaged water valve

The Dometic 310 and 320 series toilet warranty expressly excludes coverage for any damages to the toilet or vehicle that may occur as a result of improper winterization of the toilet. An indicator of improper winterization is freeze damage to the water valve which results in leaks.

Dometic 310 and 320 series toilet water valves exceed maximum water pressure as defined by

North American plumbing code agencies. However, if trapped water freezes in piping that supplies water to the toilet, it expands and creates extremely high pressure that can damage the valve (see photo).

To avoid this, winterize the toilet as described in this manual. If freeze-damage occurs as a result of improper winterization, replace the water valve with a 300/310/320 toilet water valve kit, part number

385311641. IF WATER VALVE IS RETURNED FOR

WARRANTY CLAIM, DOMETIC RESERVES THE

RIGHT TO DENY CLAIM IF PROBLEM IS CAUSED

BY FREEZE DAMAGE.

5 OPERATION

5.1 Operating/safety guidelines

BURN HAZARD, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Failure to obey the following warnings could result in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion, carbon monoxide buildup, serious injury, or death:

• Avoid negative draft or positive draft situations or the operation of this Cooktop during excessively windy conditions . Negative draft caused by air moving across the Cooktop may blow out the burner flame or move the flame into the Cooktop, resulting in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion, carbon monoxide buildup, injury, or death . Do not operate the Cooktop in excessively windy conditions as this may cause a negative or positive draft . Doing so may blow out the top burner flame during use, and can result in an explosion, fire hazard, injury, or death .

• The Cooktop must be completely separated and/or sealed from other air moving or air-consuming devices such as, but not limited to, furnaces, microwave ovens, clothes dryers, cooling fans, and doors or drawers in common cabinets . Failure to do so can affect the appliance(s) combustion air supply by creating either a negative or positive draft, which can result in serious injury or death .

• Do not use the Cooktop for space heating . Doing so may cause overheating of the Cooktop and/or could cause carbon monoxide poisoning, resulting in serious injury or death .

• While operating the Cooktop, frequently check the temperature of contents within cabinet areas above the Cooktop . Do not store flammable or combustible material in cabinets above, or above and adjacent to, the Cooktop . Failure to follow this instruction could result in a fire, serious injury, or death .

• Do not heat unopened containers . They could explode . The hot contents may cause burns and container particles may cause injury .

• Do not store flammable materials on, in, or near Cooktop . Any fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard .

• Do not operate Cooktop if it is damaged or not working properly .

• Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any burner . Air in the gas supply line will significantly delay burner ignition, and a burner may light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears out and is replaced by LP gas; this unexpected ignition may burn you . Air may be introduced into the supply line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced, during servicing of other gas appliances, etc .

• If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to accidental blowout), turn all burner knobs clockwise to OFF and WAIT 5 MINUTES before attempting to re-light the burner .

• Do not touch burners, burner grates, or areas near burners during and after use . Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact burners or areas near burners until these areas have had sufficient time to cool .

• Use large enough pans to cover the burner area and contain the cooked food . This will reduce or eliminate heavy splattering or spills that can ignite and burn you .

• Be sure that glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the Cooktop . Only certain kinds of glass utensils are suitable for surface or burner use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature .

• Never leave burners unattended when in use, as pan contents may boil over, resulting in smoke or a grease spill that may ignite .

• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other top burners . This reduces the chance of burns due to bumping a pan .

• Because grease is flammable, never allow grease to collect around top burners or on the Cooktop surface . Wipe up any grease spills immediately .

• Never use water on grease fires, and never pick up a flaming pan . Smother a flaming pan with a tightfitting lid or cookie sheet . Flaming grease outside of the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher .

• Use care when lighting a burner by hand . If the burner lights unexpectedly, or your hand is close to the burner, you may be burned .

• Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil . The flame could burn you and cause poor cooking results .

• Control knobs must be turned OFF when not cooking . Someone could be burned or a fire may start if a

DOMETIC THERMOSTAT

MODE DESCRIPTION

c. “Auto”: Fan speed will vary depending on difference between the temperature set-point and room air temperature. The compressor and the fan will cycle On and Off with thermostat. Compressor shuts off first followed by fan in approximately 15 seconds. See “B.

Auto Fan” on page (8) for more information.

2. This mode of operation is a customer option usually selected when temperatures are below

70ºF and customer needs warmth in living space rather than cool down. This reverses refrigerant flow in the air conditioner, causing warm air to be dispensed inside rather than cold, and cold air is dispensed outside rather than warm.

3. This mode of operation can cause a dilemma where the outside coil, which is now dispensing cold air can freeze up due to cold air blowing across the coil mixed with outside temperature. A system freeze up can render heat pump inoperable. There is a defrost feature that will prevent this from happening. See “D. Defrost Cycle” on page (9) for more information.

E. “Heat Strip” - Heat Strip Mode (Select Models)

1. In Heat Strip Mode, system will cycle heat strip On and Off based on room air temperature and temperature set-point on CT thermostat. There are 3 fan speeds in Heat Strip Mode.

a. “Low”: Fan operates continuously at low speed. Heat strip cycles On and Off.

b. “High”: Fan operates continuously at high speed. Heat strip cycles On and Off.

c. “Auto”: Fan operates in low speed and will cycle On and Off with thermostat.

F. “Fan” - Fan Mode

1. There are 3 fan speeds in Fan mode.

a. “Low”: Fan operates continuously at low speed. b. “High”: Fan operates continuously at high speed. c. “Auto”: Fan is Off.

SPECIAL FEATURES

A. Capacitive Touch Interface

The capacitive touch interface provides a clean, modern user interface.

Capacitive touch interface requires skin contact to function, therefore it will NOT work through gloves, bandages, etc...

Moisture, including wet fingers, on the capacitive touch interface can cause sensors to become unresponsive until the water evaporates.

60

B. Auto Fan

When auto fan is selected fan speed will vary depending on room temperature and temperature set-point. In auto fan compressor and fan cycle On and Off with thermostat.

When difference is:

> 5ºF Fan operates on HIGH

< 4ºF Fan operates on LOW

8

DOMETIC THERMOSTAT

SPECIAL FEATURES

C. Compressor Time Delay

A time delay of approximately 2 minutes occurs anytime compressor is required to begin cooling or heat pump cycle.

D. Defrost Cycle

During heat pump operation, if outside coil begins to freeze up, a defrost cycle is initiated that temporarily puts heat pump back into air conditioning mode. This reverses the refrigerant flow and melts ice forming on outside coil. Typically this occurs when outside temperatures are below

42ºF and repeats every 25 minutes of compressor run time. During this cycle the unit will cease to provide hot air flow temporarily. This is normal and is NOT and indication of malfunction.

Defrost cycling SHALL continue until measured temperature of Outside Sensor is < 30ºF or > 42ºF.

E. Low Ambient Heat Pump Lock Out

All heat pumps are constrained to operation at a temperature range determined by outside conditions. Since all heat pumps lose efficiency at low outside ambient temperatures, the heat pump has a lock out feature that prevents heat pump mode of operation when temperatures fall below

30ºF. If system is set in Auto Mode fan will be turned OFF. Fan will remain ON if fan setting is set to Low or High, however compressor will not run and there will be no heat function below 30ºF.

F. Power Interruption

In the event power to air conditioner or control is interrupted, system will restart with previous setpoints once power is restored.

G. LCD Error Code

When system determines one of the faults listed has occurred, an error code will be displayed on LCD.

Error Code:

E1 Loss of communication between CT thermostat and module board. LCD will cycle between E1 and previous mode setting. System will shut down.

E2 Open circuit or out of range Indoor Temperature Sensor. Heating and cooling operation will be locked out. Fan operation can continue to operate.

DOMETIC THERMOSTAT

GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Frost Formation On Cooling Coil

1. Frost on a small portion of the coil is not unusual. Under certain conditions, ice may form on the evaporator coil. This is indicated by very cold output at very low air speed and the icing can be seen through the air inlet hole with the filter removed. If this should occur, inspect the filter and clean if dirty. Make sure air vents are open and not obstructed. Units have a greater tendency to frost when the outside temperature is relatively low. This may be prevented by adjusting the thermostat set-point to a warmer temperature. Should frosting continue, operate on any FAN ONLY setting until the cooling coil is free of frost; then resume normal operation.

If frost condition persist, contact your local service center for assistance.

B. Heat Gain

The ability of this air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV.

Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the RV may be reduced by:

1. Parking the RV in a shaded area

2. Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains)

3. Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing usage

4. Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances

Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside temperatures.

Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a “head start” on the expected high outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature.

For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like Dometic outdoor patio and window awnings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.

C. Condensation

The manufacturer of this unit will not be responsible for damage caused by condensation forming on ceilings, windows, or other surfaces. Air contains water vapor which condenses when temperature of a surface is below Dew point. During normal operation this unit is designed to remove a certain amount of moisture from the air, depending on the size of the space being conditioned. Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner is in operation will greatly reduce the chance of condensation forming on interior surfaces.

DOMETIC THERMOSTAT

MAINTENANCE

A. Air Filter

1. Periodically (a minimum of every 2 weeks of operation) remove the return air filter located be hind the return air vent grille and wash it with soap and warm water, let dry and then reinstall.

NEVER run unit without return air filter in place. This will plug the unit evaporator coil with dirt and may substantially degrade the performance of the unit over time.

B. CT Thermostat

1. Clean CT thermostat with a dry soft cloth.

Do NOT spray water directly on CT thermostat. Do NOT use solvents for cleaning.

If a moist soft cloth is needed to clean the CT thermostat surface, the sensors may become unresponsive. If this happens, it will be necessary to allow the water enough time to evaporate for sensors to regain responsiveness.

SERVICE - UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE

If your unit fails to operate or operates improperly, check the following before calling your service center.

● If RV connected to motor generator, check to be sure motor generator is running and producing power.

● If RV connected to power supply by a land line, check to be sure line is sized properly to run unit load and it is plugged into power supply.

● Check your fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is open. Insure fuse is not burnt, or circuit breaker is “ON” and not activated.

● After the above checks, call your local service center for further help. This unit must be serviced by qualified service personnel only.

When calling for service, always give the following:

Unit model and serial number found on the identification label located on base pan of unit bottom. Return air vent grille must be removed from ADB to view.

ADB model and serial number found on rating plate located on ceiling template. Observe this rating plate through the filter opening.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

NOTE: Be sure the extinguisher is rated to fight the type of fire most likely to occur in the area you choose to install it. Since household fires commonly start in the kitchen, you should always install an extinguisher in the kitchen. For added security, you should also install additional extinguishers in utility areas, and other living areas in your household.

Fire extinguishers are classified by fire type. The A, B and C rating system defines the kinds of burning materials each fire extinguisher is designed to fight. The numbers in front of the A,

B, or C indicate the rating for size of the fire the unit can extinguish. Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can do more harm than good. Make sure you understand which fire extinguisher to use on each class of fire!

Class A rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and some plastics.

Class B rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving grease, oil, gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable liquids.

Class C rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires in "live" electrical equipment.

Model FESA5 is rated 5-B:C. It is NOT rated to fight Class A fires.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING

THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER!

• This extinguisher is designed for use against small fires that have just started and are small enough to fight safely. It is not designed to fight large fires that are burning out of control. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet

(2 meters) of it, do not try to fight it yourself. Warn everyone, evacuate the premises, and have someone call the Fire

Department from outside the building. Trying to fight a large fire yourself can result in injury or death.

• Do not puncture or burn any fire extinguisher. The contents are under pressure, and the extinguisher could explode.

• Never locate this extinguisher close to an engine, stove or other source of heat. It is pressurized and could rupture or explode if exposed to temperatures over 150° F (66° C).

• This extinguisher contains a dry powder extinguishing agent. The agent/powder is nontoxic, but can irritate skin. When using this unit, avoid breathing the powder. Always ventilate the area after use.

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER

This extinguisher is designed to be used in your car or other vehicle. It has a special mounting bracket to keep the unit from discharging accidentally. We recommend you mount the extinguisher to keep it safe from puncture or other damage. Since not every vehicle can accommodate the mounting bracket, the bracket is also designed to keep the extinguisher from rolling if you do not mount it.

This Fire Extinguisher may be mounted:

• In the trunk of a vehicle

• On an inside panel of a vehicle

Do NOT mount this

Fire Extinguisher:

• To the dashboard of the vehicle

• To the exterior of a vehicle

• On a clean, dry surface where the temperature does not go above 120° F

(49° C) or below –40° F

(–40° C)

• To the engine of a vehicle

• On or near any other source of heat

HOW TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER

NOTE: Since surface types vary, mounting screws are not included.

Purchase screws or bolts specifically designed for the surface on which you will mount the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher label lists its maximum weight.

Installing the Mounting Bracket in A Vehicle

• This extinguisher has a quick-release bracket for mounting. Mount the extinguisher as shown in “Installing the

Mounting Bracket.”

• Do not use sheet metal screws or wood screws; vehicle vibrations may loosen them.

• Do not make holes in the vehicle structure if you are not sure what is on the other side. You may accidentally cause severe damage to electrical lines, gasoline lines or tanks, or other vehicle systems.

• Do not break the plastic loop holding the safety pin in place!

This loop prevents accidental discharge of the fire extinguisher. Break the loop only in an emergency before using the fire extinguisher.

Remove mounting bracket from extinguisher by unlocking the clasp and pulling the bracket away from the extinguisher. Use two strong screws (such as #8 machine screws) to mount the bracket securely onto metal or another solid surface that can support the weight of the fire extinguisher. The mounting bracket must be secure so you can remove the extinguisher quickly in an emergency.

Installing the

Mounting Bracket

1. Install the mounting bracket as shown in “Installing The

Mounting Bracket” using strong screws (such as #8 machine screws) with washers and nuts.

The screws should not be longer than necessary to accommodate a washer and nut. Mounting screws, washers, and nuts are not included (see

Note above.)

2. After installing the mounting bracket, replace the extinguisher on the bracket with the nose of the extinguisher pointing into the bracket.

CHECKING AND INSPECTING

THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

DO NOT CHECK THE PRESSURE OR TEST THE FIRE

EXTINGUISHER BY SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER, EVEN BRIEFLY.

ONCE USED IT WILL GRADUALLY LOSE PRESSURE AND WILL

NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FOR USE IN AN EMERGENCY.

1. Inspect and test the extinguisher once a week. Start by removing the extinguisher from the mounting bracket/cap.

Check the extinguisher pressure by pressing the green button on top of the cap as shown in “Checking the

Pressure.” If the button pops back up, the extinguisher is properly pressurized and ready to use. If the button stays down, the extinguisher has lost pressure and must be replaced.

2. Check for signs of damage or misuse.

Make sure you can still read all the text on the label. Carefully examine the surface of the extinguisher for corrosion.

You can help prevent corrosion by

Checking the

Pressure cleaning the extinguisher if it gets wet or dirty. If you notice corrosion during the warranty period, return the unit to First Alert ® (see

"Limited Warranty" at the end of this manual).

3. Make sure the tamper indicator

(“safety seal”) is still intact as shown in “Location Of The ‘Safety Seal’” and

Location of the

“Safety Seal” the nozzle is clean and unobstructed.

4. When you finish inspecting the fire extinguisher, always put it back into the mounting bracket. Make sure the handle is locked down and the safety seal is intact.

For more information about fire extinguishers, consult the NFPA

Standard #10, “Portable Fire Extinguishers,” available from the

National Fire Protection Association, Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy,

MA 02169, USA.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE

EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY

• Make sure your extinguisher may be safely and effectively used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme caution when fighting any fire. Fight a fire only where there is a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire gets worse.

• Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes; stay low if necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes. Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death.

• Always stand back far enough away from the fire—near an exit—and make sure nothing is between you and your escape route. If you get too close to a fire, you risk getting burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters), DO

NOT try to fight the fire yourself. Evacuate immediately and call the Fire Department.

• For fires on a kitchen stove, turn oven or burners off immediately if possible. If you can’t reach the oven or burner controls safely, extinguish the fire first, then turn them off.

• Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing towards you can result in serious injury.

TO FIGHT THE FIRE

• Turn off the engine immediately if you suspect a vehicle fire.

Evacuate the car, sending passengers a safe distance away.

If you see flames escaping from under the vehicle’s hood, the fire is too large to fight. DO NOT attempt to open the hood or fight the fire; instead move a safe distance from the car and call for help immediately. Trying to fight this size fire could result in injury or death.

• If there are no visible flames and you attempt to fight a small fire, always use extreme caution if lifting your vehicle’s hood. Flames may flash when you open the hood, which can cause severe injury or death.

• This unit will not operate with mounting bracket attached.

The extinguisher must be removed from the mounting bracket or it cannot discharge its contents to fight a fire.

If You Suspect a Vehicle Fire:

1. Pull vehicle over, away from all traffic.

2. Turn off vehicle engine.

3. Evacuate all passengers and move them a safe distance from the vehicle. Do not plug a cellular phone into your own vehicle to call the Fire Department.

4. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting bracket.

5. Hold the extinguisher firmly, with the nozzle facing away from you. Pull out the pin to break the ‘Safety Seal.’ You won’t be able to squeeze the trigger until the safety seal is removed.

6. Stand back 6 feet (2 meters) from the fire and make sure the fire is not between you and your exit.

7. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.

8. Press and hold the trigger to discharge the powder.

9. Sweep the spray at the base of the burning material, using quick side-to-side motions.

(If the spray scatters the fire, move back.)

Breaking the

Safety Seal

Press and Hold

Trigger To

Discharge Powder

10. Move slowly towards the fire as the extinguisher spray pushes the fire back. Maintain a 6-foot (2 meter) distance between you and the front of the fire at all times.

11. Completely discharge the contents of the extinguisher and make sure the fire is completely out. Flashbacks are common with fires.

AFTER THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED

Do not start the vehicle up or plug in any electrical accessories

(cellular phone, CD player, TV or VCR, etc.) until the vehicle has been cleaned up completely. It is very important to remove the powder from electrical equipment after a fire. If the powder gets wet, it can conduct electricity. (Using a dry chemical extinguisher on wet electrical equipment can be hazardous for this reason.)

This may worsen an electrical leakage problem, impair the equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard.

If you think the fire had an electrical origin:

• Turn off the engine and do not touch any electrical wires, fuses or accessories.

• Leave the vehicle and stay a safe distance away until the Fire

Department arrives.

• Do not restart the vehicle or plug in any electrical appliances or accessories until a licensed mechanic has inspected the vehicle’s electrical system.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

HOW TO CLEAN AFTER USING A FIRE

EXTINGUISHER

NOTE: The powder spray from the extinguisher may spread over a wide area, and may soil upholstery, carpets and walls.

• Sweep/vacuum up as much of the powder as possible. Then use a damp cloth to wipe off the remaining agent.

• If you have any questions about cleaning appliances that the agent has come into contact with, please contact the appliance manufacturer.

IF YOUR EXTINGUISHER NEEDS SERVICE

This fire extinguisher is a disposable device that is NOT rechargeable.

Do not try to service or repair this fire extinguisher under any circumstances. Do not try to remove the nozzle or valve assembly.

This is a pressurized device that can cause serious injury if tampered with.

About Parental Control

Q: After insertion of a DVD into the disc slot, a dialogue box appears, asking for a password of 4 digits. Why?

A: This is because the movie you are playing was rated with Parental Control, and the current rating level of the unit is lower than the one of the current disc. You must input the right password and enter it into the

Parental Control setup menu and then set an equal or higher rating level than the one of the current disc.

Note:

● If you have not changed the password, the factory preset password for the unit will be empty. You will need to input a desired password and verify it by inputting the password again before entering the

Parental Control setup menu.

● For the rating level setup of Parental

Control of the unit, please refer to the relative content of the SYSTEM SETUP menu for details.

Accessories: Parental Control

The Parental Control function of a DVD player can be used to control playback of movie scenes on a DVD disc set with a rating level.

You can set the DVD player (including the software player on a PC) with a certain rating level via the SETUP MENU on the TV screen.

If the rating level set in the disc is higher than the one set in the DVD player, the DVD player cannot play the disc. Sometimes the

Parental Control sequences in some discs are different from each other. The rating level setup can be protected with a password.

If you select Unlock , the Parental Control function will be invalid, and the whole content of the disc can be played.

A DVD disc can be designed with different rating levels of Parental Control so that the

DVD player can play different versions of scenes from the same movie based on the set rating levels. Depending on the DVD feature of seamless switching, the scenes unsuitable for children will be cleared or replaced by other suitable scenes automatically.

All rating levels of Parental Control are as follows:

Unlock

1. Kid Safe

2. G

3. PG

4. PG 13

5. R

6. NC 17

7. Adult

Operation

Region Code

Q: No DVD playback. REGION ERROR is displayed after insertion of a disc into the disc slot. Why?

A: Because the DVD player and disc have different region codes. If they do not match, the DVD player cannot play the disc.

Appendix: Region code of DVD

The Motion Picture Association of America

(MPAA) divided the world into 6 regions, and allocated every region a code, named the region code. The region codes and the countries or areas represented by the region codes are as follows:

Region I: America, Canada, East-Pacific

Islands;

Region 2: Japan, West Europe, North Europe,

Egypt, South Africa, Middle East;

L

EVE

L II TM Tank Monitor represents a massive leap forward in level measurement technology for the Recreational

Vehicle industry. The SeeLeveL has a combination of features, accuracy, reliability, and diagnostic capability that have never been available before.

Model 709-P3 will monitor the battery voltage, the fresh water and sewer holding tanks, and includes a pump switch. The information is displayed on a 3-digit alpha-numeric LED display. In addition, the system can display the operating characteristics of each of the tank sending units, giving it unsurpassed diagnostic capability.

WARNING: All power circuits must be fused. If a fuse is not provided with the system then it is the installer’s responsibility to install a fuse with a maximum rating of 7.5 amps. A relay is required if more than 7.5 amps is needed for the pump.

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR

CHAPTER 2 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

T he SeeLeveL consists of a display unit that mounts inside the

RV, and sender panels that stick to the side of the holding tank.

A single 2 conductor wire is used to connect all the sender panels to the display.

The Sender: (DFKVHQGHUSDQHOLVDÁH[LEOHVHOIDGKHVLYHSULQWHG circuit board which is adhered to the side of the holding tank.

The sender panel can be cut to length to match the height of the tank, and it auto calibrates itself so that it can read from Empty to Full regardless of the height of the tank. The sender scans the water level through the tank wall using advanced digital techniques programmed into the sender microprocessor. When the sender transmits the water or sewer level information to the display, it sends a digital code that has built in error detection, making it highly unlikely for the display to read an incorrect level, even if the wiring is marginal. In addition to the level, the sender also transmits diagnostic information about its operation. This information can be used to determine if there is buildup of sludge on the inside of the tank, or to determine if the sender is damaged or delaminating from the side of the tank. If sludge buildup in the

710ES, and 710SS) and the ability to double stack the senders provide accurate level measurement for tank heights ranging from

4 ½” to 34”.

The Display: The display receives the information from the three sender panels via a single 2 conductor wire, and displays the level information in percent of full on a 3-digit LED display. When the button for a particular tank is pressed, the display shows the level for that tank. If the button is pressed and released, the display will show the level for about 5 seconds and then shut down automatically. If another button is pressed before the display shuts down, then the new level will immediately be shown. If the same water or waste button is pressed twice, the display will hold on that tank and continue to show updated levels for 5 minutes

EHIRUHVKXWWLQJRII7KLVDOORZVWKHXVHUWRPRQLWRUWKHÀOOLQJRU draining of a tank. By pressing two buttons at once, the diagnostic functions can be accessed; these are described in detail in the troubleshooting chapter.

Page 4 709-P3 Manual

105

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR

If a sender is operating properly and connected to the display with good wiring, then the display will show the level normally. If the wiring is disconnected, shorted, or cut, or if the sender panel is defective, then the display will indicate an error code. The various error codes are shown in the troubleshooting chapter.

With these diagnostic features and the digital nature of the tank level sensing technology, it is almost impossible for the system to indicate an incorrect water level, and in the very unlikely event it does occur, servicing is greatly aided with the diagnostic information.

The system also shows the RV battery voltage by measuring the voltage which powers the display. The voltage is shown with a resolution of 0.1 volt.

CHAPTER 4 - DISPLAY CALIBRATION

To program the LED brightness:

1. If the display is to be used inside the coach, the LED brightness should be low. If it is to be used in the service bay area where sunlight can reach it, the LED brightness should be high.

2. To program the LED brightness, the display needs to enter the brightness programming mode. To do this, press and hold down the BATT button, the display will show the battery voltage.

3. While continuing to hold down the BATT button, press and hold down the GREY button. Continue to hold down both buttons for about 5 seconds until the display shows “ bri ” to indicate the brightness programming mode. When this occurs release both buttons.

4. The display will now indicate the brightness that is currently programmed by showing “ b-1 ”, “ b-2 ”, “ b-3 ”, or “ b-4 ”, where

“ b-1 ” is the minimum brightness and “ b-4 µLVWKHPD[LPXP brightness.

5. Press the GREY tank button to increase brightness, or the

FRESH tank button to decrease brightness.

6. When the display shows the correct brightness, press the

BATT EXWWRQWRH[LWWKHSURJUDPPLQJPRGH

To program the number of senders for each tank:

1. To program the number of senders for each tank, the display needs to enter the sender programming mode. This should only be done at the time of installation, there is no reason to change the number of senders afterward. Make sure that the number of senders programmed into the display matches with the number of senders connected, otherwise the display will show an error.

2. To enter the sender programming mode, press and hold down the button for the tank to be programmed, the display may show a level or an error message for that tank.

3. While continuing to hold down the button for the tank, press and hold down the BATT button. The display will immediately show ” dIA µGLDJQRVWLFVFRQWLQXHWRKROGGRZQERWKEXWWRQV until the display enters the programming mode, this should take about 5 seconds.

CHAPTER 5 - SENDER PROGRAMMING

To program the 710ES or 710SS sender for the correct tank:

1. Since the senders are all connected in parallel to save wiring and to simplify installation, the senders must be programmed so they know which tank they are on. The senders can be programmed for either the fresh, grey, or black tank. This is done with the two tabs on the top corners of the sender. See the following diagram.

2. The senders default to fresh tank operation if the programming is not altered. Consequently, if the sender is for the fresh tank, nothing further needs to be done to it.

3. If the sender is for the grey tank, remove the tab that says

“ GRY µQH[WWRLW

4. If the sender is for the black tank, remove the tab that says

“ BLK µQH[WWRLW

5. This is all that is required to program the senders for the correct tank. However, if you make an error, you have one chance to correct it, as described below.

6. If the “ GRY ” tab has been removed and it should be a black tank sender, or if the “ BLK ” tab has been removed and it should be a grey tank sender, then cut out the recessed greyblack correction tab that says “ GBC µQH[WWRLW7KLVUHYHUVHV the effect of the grey and black tabs.

7. If either the “ GRY ” or “ BLK ” tabs have been removed and it should be for a fresh tank, then remove the other “ GRY ” or

“ BLK ” tab. When both the “ GRY ” and “ BLK ” tabs are removed, it is equivalent to neither of them being removed.

8. If the sender is single, no further programming is required.

9. If double stacked senders are used, the top sender must have additional programming, as described below.

10. Refer to the 710ES and 710SS sender programming diagram.

To program the 710ES or 710SS sender as top or bottom:

1. Since the senders are all connected in parallel to save wiring and to simplify installation, the senders must be programmed so they know whether they are a single, top, or bottom sender.

This is done with the tab at the top center of the sender. See the following diagram.

709-P3 Manual Page 9

Page 10

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR

2. The senders default to single or bottom operation if the programming is not altered. Consequently, if the sender is for single or bottom operation, nothing further needs to be done

3. For a top sender, remove the tab that says “ TOP µQH[WWRLW

4. This is all that is required to program the senders for single, top, or bottom use. However, if you make an error, you have one chance to correct it, as described below.

5. If the “ TOP ” tab has been removed and it should be a single or bottom sender, then cut out the recessed top correction tab that says “ TC µQH[WWRLW7KLVUHYHUVHVWKHHIIHFWRIWKH top tab.

6. Verify that both the top and bottom senders have been programmed for the correct tank.

To program the 710JS sender for the correct tank:

1. Since the senders are all connected in parallel to save wiring and to simplify installation, the senders must be programmed so they know which tank they are on. The senders can be programmed for either the fresh, grey, or black tank. This is done with the two tabs on the top corners of the sender. See the following diagram.

2. The senders default to fresh tank operation if the programming is not altered. Consequently, if the sender is for the fresh tank, nothing further needs to be done to it.

3. If the sender is for the grey tank, remove the tab that says

“ GRY µQH[WWRLW

4. If the sender is for the black tank, remove the tab that says

“ BLK µQH[WWRLW

5. This is all that is required to program the senders for the correct tank. However, if you make an error, you have one chance to correct it, as described below.

6. If the “ GRY” or “ BLK” tab has been removed by mistake, the sender can be changed to a fresh tank sender by cutting the

CHAPTER 6 - INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Please refer to the “ Troubleshooting and Installation Tips ” section in Chapter 7 for details on avoiding installation issues.

2. The installation consists of mounting the display inside the RV, cutting and fastening the senders to the sides of the holding tanks, connecting wiring, and programming the display. When wiring DO NOT use spade connectors to join wires, only use crimp on butt connectors or solder the wires together.

3. Mount the display by cutting a hole in the wall 3” wide by 1 to the display panel connector.

8. The senders need to be programmed so they know which tank they are on. This is done by selectively cutting off the tabs on the top of the sender. See the chapter entitled “SENDER

PROGRAMMING” for details.

9. For double stacked sender systems, the senders also need to be programmed so they know whether they are being used as top or bottom senders. See the chapter entitled “SENDER

PROGRAMMING” for details.

10. Once the sender is cut to length and programmed, do a test by taping the sender to the tank wall. Make sure there are no air gaps between the sender and the tank. Verify operation before permanently sticking the sender to the tank wall.

2QFHSURSHURSHUDWLRQKDVEHHQFRQÀUPHGFDUHIXOO\SHHOWKH backing paper off the adhesive. Do this slowly to prevent the adhesive from being ripped off the sender, and to prevent the backing paper from ripping. Be careful not to bend the sender sharply in the process. Position the sender over the side of the tank and carefully stick it down. MAKE SURE THAT

THE END WITH WIRES IS POINTING UP!! Position the bottom of the sender at least ¼ ” above the bottom of the tank, or slightly higher if required to equalize the space at the top and bottom of the tank. Make sure that the sender is square with the tank. You only have one shot at this, if you try to peel it off the tank once it is stuck the sender may be damaged by the sharp bending. Carefully press the sender down to the tank so that all of the adhesive is contacting the tank wall.

11. Do steps 5 to 10 for the other two holding tanks.

12. Connect all the blue wires from the senders together, and to the blue wire from the display. Connect the black wire from each sender to ground at the display. It is very important that the display and the senders have the same ground. Use crimp on butt connectors to fasten the wires together. Make sure that the wires from the sender are routed to the RIGHT side of the sender, away from the sender. NEVER route the wires to the left of the sender. If they drape over the sender they could affect the reading. Secure the wires with tie wraps

Page 18

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR or something similar so that the wires do not rattle or press against the sender, this may result in sender damage or wires breaking over time. Refer to the enclosed wiring diagrams.

13. All that remains now is calibration and testing. The tank senders will self calibrate to whatever length they are cut, so they will always read from 0% to 100%. The display needs to be set to a single or double sender system for each tank.

See the chapter entitled “DISPLAY CALIBRATION” and the section “To program the number of senders for each tank” for details. Make sure you do it for each tank.

14. For the initial test, have the tank at least ¼ full of water or sewage, and verify that the percent level reading looks correct

VHH WKH FKDSWHU HQWLWOHG “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” and the section “To read a water or sewer tank level” for details). Check to see that the signal power is at least 20%

VHH WKH FKDSWHU HQWLWOHG “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” and the section “To review the sender diagnostics” for details). If the signal power is too low, make sure that the

15. If equipped, connect the pump switch as required.

16. WARNING: The pump switch is rated for a maximum of 7.5 amps. The use of a relay is required if more than 7.5 amps is needed. A 7.5 amp (max) fuse must be installed in the series with the 12V power circuit to the switch!

17. Verify that the battery voltage reads correctly. If it appears low, make sure you have good wiring for the 12 volt power and the ground.

CHAPTER 7 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Display trouble codes:

If a sender or its wiring is not operating properly, the following codes are shown on the display:

1. If a sender is unresponsive or there is an open circuit in the wiring so that the sender is not connected, the display will indicate an open circuit by showing “ OPn ” on the LED display.

2. If a sender is shorted or there is a short in the wiring, the display will indicate a short circuit by showing “ Sht ” on the

LED display.

3. If a sender is sending bad data, there is damaged wiring, or if there is electrical interference, the display will indicate a data error by showing “ Err ” on the LED display. Also, if the senders have not been programmed correctly, they can interfere with one another and result in “ Err ” on the LED display. Check all the senders to make sure they are programmed correctly. If they are, replace the sender that is creating the error.

4. If the display has been programmed for a single sender, and double stacked senders have been connected, the display will show “ StA ”. In this case, change the senders or reprogram the display as required. If only a top sender has been connected, the display will show “ nbo ”, indicating that no bottom sender has been received. If the tank should only have a single sender, correct the programming on the sender, it should not be a top sender.

5. If the display has been programmed for double stacked senders for tall tanks, and only the bottom sender is working and the top one is not, then the display will show “ ntP ” indicating that no top sender is being received. If the top is working but no bottom sender is being received, then the display will show

“ nbo ”. If neither sender is working, then the display will show

“ OPn ”. Check the wiring and the programming of the senders.

If all is OK with that, replace the bad sender.

6. The display contains a permanent memory which is used to store the programming for battery voltage calibration value and the tank sender signal levels. These signal levels are used to help the system adapt to the tanks, which increases sender accuracy at low tank levels. If this memory should fail, “ CAL ”

ZLOO EH ÁDVKHG RQ WKH /(' GLVSOD\ LQGLFDWLQJ D FDOLEUDWLRQ failure. It will be necessary to replace the display if this occurs.

7. There are no diagnostics for the battery voltage.

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR

The diagnostics can be used to check the wiring and the senders:

1. If a short circuit is showing, disconnect the senders one at a time at the sender location. If the short circuit indication goes away when a sender is removed, then that sender is bad. If all the senders are removed but a short circuit still shows, then the wiring may be shorted. Disconnect the sender wire at the display, the short indication should go away. If it doesn’t, the display is bad.

2. If an open circuit for all the senders is showing, it is most likely a wiring open circuit or display failure, since it is unlikely that all three senders are bad. Try shorting the wiring together at the display, the display should indicate a short circuit. If it doesn’t, the display is bad. If it does, then remove that connection and short the wires together at the sender locations. If no short circuit is shown, then the wiring is open. If the display does show a short circuit, then the senders must be bad.

3. If a single sender is showing an open, try shorting the wiring together right at that sender. If a short now shows, the sender is bad or not wired properly. If no short circuit shows on the display, the wiring to that sender is open.

To review the sender diagnostics:

1. The sender diagnostics can be reviewed periodically to check for any degradation of the tank senders. If a sender appears to be malfunctioning, reviewing the diagnostics should be the

ÀUVWVWHSLQWKHWURXEOHVKRRWLQJSURFHVV

2. There are two diagnostics for the senders: the signal power, and the sender height.

The signal power is an indication of how much signal is being transmitted through the tank wall and picked up by the receive part of the sender. If the signal power is too low, it can indicate a sender which is detached from the tank, excessive buildup on the inside of the tank, bad wiring to the sender, low battery voltage, or a defective sender. Typical signal power should be

50% to 60%. The minimum signal power for proper operation is 20%.

The sender height is the number of receive segments present in the sender. To determine the length of the sender, multiply the calibration by 2.0 (SS sender) or 1.5 (ES sender) or 1.0 (JS sender) to get the length in inches. The senders always auto calibrate to the length that they are cut, so this diagnostic allows

3. To check the diagnostics, press and hold the button for the tank to be checked, the display will show the level for that tank.

4. While continuing to hold down the button for the tank, press the BATT button. When the display shows ” dIA ”, release the buttons, the display will then change to showing the signal power diagnostic. This is indicated by a “ P ” showing on the

6. After 5 seconds of showing the height, the display will shut off.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

What to do if the system freezes or is unresponsive:

1. If the display is unresponsive, it may be “hung” due to a static discharge or electrical noise. Try rebooting it by shutting off the 12V power to it for a few seconds, then turning it back on.

What to do if operation becomes erratic or stops completely:

1. Make sure all wiring connections are solid. Do not use spade connectors to join wiring as they will degrade over time. Use insulated crimp-on butt connectors or solder and insulate the wire connections.

What to do in dual console systems if the two displays do not read the same:

1. For dual display console applications, if the consoles disagree the most likely reason is a bad console ground. Both console grounds, and the sender grounds, must be connected together with ground wiring. Do not depend on metal chassis components. See item 2 in the following section for further details.

What to do if readings jump or are inaccurate

1. We have had a few instances where 120VAC interference has caused the readings to stall and create a gap; readings would skip from 50% to 70% and then begin to function again. The cause was wiring between consoles and senders being tied

2. Always ground the senders and the console to the same ground circuit. This is very important; RV’s can have several ground circuits with resistance between them. We have had instances where two consoles are installed with a different ground for the service bay console and interior console. If you see different levels from each console on the same tank, then the ground circuit is not common. Connect both consoles to the same ground back to the breaker panel ground point.

What to do if the system indicates a residual or non-zero water level even though the tank is drained completely:

1. 7KLVFDQEHGXHWRDFRQYH[WDQNERWWRPRUDVORSHGWDQN

WRWKHGUDLQYDOYHVLGHDYHU\VPDOODPRXQWRIZDWHUOHIWLQ the tank will result in a non-zero level indication. In both of these cases, temporary installation of the sender using duct tape or masking tape will allow the installer to check

WKHWDQNOHYHOEHIRUHFRPPLWWLQJWRDÀQDOVHQGHUSRVLWLRQ

After cutting the sender to length and connecting the wires, be sure to tape down both sides of the sender to eliminate air gaps between the sender and tank surface which can cause low signal strength and unpredictable performance.

The ends of the sender must be at least ¼” to ½” away from the tank bottom and top to allow for wall thickness. The

2. The signal strength should be in the 50% range for best performance. If the signal strength is in the 20% range it is indicative of a high resistance in a connector, a bad ground,

3. With the console installed you can check the level on each tank, if you get an indicated level of 10% to 20% and you know this is too high, reposition the sensor board as follows:

,QWKHFDVHRIDFRQYH[WDQNERWWRPXVXDOO\IRXQGRQODUJHÁDW tanks, raising the sender is the best solution to accomplish a zero reading when the tank is empty. This may result in having to shorten the sender by an additional segment.

709-P3 Manual Page 23

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR

On sloped tanks, which are used to promote complete draining, one alternative is to measure the end of the tank opposite from the drain valve. It may be necessary to extend the wire harness to be able to measure on the optimal side. On the drain valve side, the best choice is to elevate the sender to avoid reading a puddle at the drain valve.

4. 7KHFORVHSUR[LPLW\RIPHWDOWRWKHVHQGHUFDQEHPLVLQWHUSUHWHG as water, since they have similar electrical characteristics. Any metal such as steel, aluminum, copper, or brass can affect the sender reading if it is closer than about 2” brackets, straps, pipes, ducts, etc. close to the sender you may have to move the sender away from them. Again, trial positioning using

WDSH LV QHFHVVDU\ XQWLO WKH SUREOHP GLVDSSHDUV )OH[LEOH pieces of metal can be held away from the sender with rubber wedged between the sender and the metal. If the metal is off to the side of the sender, or just butting to the edge then it is usually not a problem, particularly on the right hand side of the sender.

5. Make sure that metal doors or covers are far enough away from the sender as well, once everything is closed up the

SRVLWLRQLQJPD\FKDQJH7KHV\PSWRPVRIH[SRVXUHWRODUJH metal components are usually a non-zero reading when the tank is empty, or the level appearing to jump suddenly as the

3⁄8 “. You can also use a 1 gallon jug or a 5 gallon pail as a test tank to

2. A symptom we have seen is the sender will not indicate 100% when the tank is full. If the sender is positioned too high on the tank, then water cannot reach high enough on the sender for it to read 100%. The top of the sender must be at least

¼” to ½” away from the top of the tank to allow for wall thickness.

3. Another possibility is a tank wall thickness issue that may occur at the corners or edges of the tank. This has not been a common issue, and the only correction you can make is to move the board slightly lower, away from the thick area.

What to do if sender delamination occurs:

1. We have had reports of the senders literally falling off the tanks or showing serious delamination. This is likely caused by a lack of tank surface preparation. Surface prep is very simple, wipe the area to be adhered to with products like Pro Bond, alcohol, or acetone. Do not use thinners because they leave residues which attack the adhesive. Ambient temperatures of less than 60°F or 15°C prevent the bonding agents in the

709-P3 Manual Page 25

Page 26

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR adhesive from working properly; use a heat gun to warm the tank surface if necessary. Also be sure the surface is dry, again a heat gun is the best way to dry the bonding area. Finally, the surface of the tank must be smooth. The adhesive works much better on smooth surfaces, if necessary use an orbital

VDQGHUZLWKÀQHJULWSDSHUJULWWRTXLFNO\DFFRPSOLVKWKH desired smoothness.

2. Another possibility is the wiring harness pulling on the sender.

Make sure the wiring to the tank sender is well supported so that it does not put a load on the sender. Be sure to support all connecting harnesses; do not let the board support the harness, this will in time cause delamination of the board from the tank. One simple way to do this is to use Gorilla tape across the top of the sender at a 90 degree angle to the sender orientation, with the wiring held in place by the tape.

The wires from the sender must be routed straight up or to the right for reliable operation.

How to protect the sender from road spray and debris:

1. 2QLQVWDOODWLRQVZKHUHWKHKROGLQJWDQNLVH[SRVHGWRXQGHU

FKDVVLVURDGVSUD\DQGÁ\LQJURFNVHWFZHUHFRPPHQGWKH use of an auto body undercoat, which is easily purchased in auto parts stores. This tar based material clings well to the senders and protects from water and debris.

2. One material in particular is 3M Professional Grade Rubberized

Undercoating, product code 03584. Another product that works well is a Dominion Sure Seal rubberized undercoating such as Gravel Guard Rocker Guard Coating.

3. After the system is completed and tested apply the undercoat over the complete board using two coats. Do not use lacquer, enamel paint, or plastic paint for auto bumpers as these contain chemicals that will dissolve the conformal coating on the board and cause malfunctions.

How to avoid damaging the display when mounting:

1. If mounting the display in a metal panel or wall there is a risk of permanent damage due to a jagged opening or too small of an opening. The metal panel can short circuit the display rendering it inoperable and requiring the installer to replace it. Ensure that the edges of the cutout are smooth and that no material is bent outward where it can dig into the display.

Make sure that the cutout is large enough so that the display can be easily inserted without having to angle it. There is a ½” border all around the display to cover the edge of the hole, so

709-P3 Manual

127

GARNET SEELEVEL II TANK MONITOR if the hole is a bit larger than the minimum requirement it will still be covered by the display.

2. When fastening the display to the panel, make sure that it is centered in the hole and not resting on one edge.

3. Non-conductive mounting spacers are available to help prevent damaging the display. Contact Garnet for further details.

How to avoid damaging the display or pump switch due to excessive current:

1. Please be aware that the water pump switch circuit has a limitation on current draw of 7.5 amps, some large pumps can draw over 10 amps. These high drain pumps must use a relay or the display console printed circuit will overheat and damage the display permanently.

2. If the 12V supply line from the electrical panel does not have a 7.5 amp fuse rating, please be sure to install the supplied fuse holder with a 7.5 amp automotive style fuse inline on the

+12V red wire.

3. WARNING: All power circuits must be fused. If a fuse is not provided with the system then it is the installer’s responsibility to install a fuse with a maximum rating of

7.5 amps. A relay is required if more than 7.5 amps is needed for the pump.

TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS

OVERVIEW

A. Adjusting Motor-limit switches

B. Manual Override

C. Adjusting Pitch and Elbow height

D. Motion Sensor Testing

A. ADJUSTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES

TOOLS REQUIRED

Black plastic key provided with awning, or 4mm (5/32”) Allen wrench.

NOTE: The motor limit switches have been adjusted to the correct positions at the factory prior to shipment. When fully retracted the awning motor is set to stop the exact moment the awning box closes. When fully extended the fabric should be taut and the arms should be slightly bent, exposing a gap of about ¼” at the elbows.

Always check the motor limits after installation to ensure that the awning opens and closes correctly. Awning fabric can stretch over time, this will require an adjustment of the IN and/or OUT limit switch.

IMPORTANT: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE

MOTOR LIMIT TURNS OFF AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE AWNING BOX

CLOSES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RUN WHEN THE

AWNING IS CLOSED. THIS WILL DESTROY THE MOTOR.

1. The motors used in Girard Systems awnings are reversible.

2. The motor has limit settings for both OUT (extension) and IN (retraction).

Page 30 of 49

GIRARD AWNING

3. The limit switches can be adjusted by use of the black key provided with the awning, or you may use a 4mm (5/32”) Allen wrench.

4. Extend the awning a few feet to gain access to the motor. Locate the motor. The limit adjustment screws are located on the head of the motor. Using the symbols printed next to the adjustment screws, turn the black key (or 4mm Allen wrench) to make the necessary adjustments. The motors are labeled with a + or a – to indicate the adjustment direction.

5. Approximately ¼ turn of the adjustment screw represents about 1” of awning movement. NEVER set outward limits so that the fabric is slack with full arm extension. For proper adjustment set limit switch to stop the motor just before the arms lock. This will expose about a 1/4” gap at the elbow.

Page 31 of 49

161

GIRARD AWNING

B. MANUAL OVERRIDE

1. In case of motor issues, the GG 750 has a manual override to close the awning.

2. Remove the endcap opposite the motor, by removing the 3 Philips head screws.

3. Using a 13mm wrench, turn the manual override shaft in order to close the awning, see Figure 10. NOTE: The manual override is one-way, it can only close the awning.

4. Figure 10 is showing a right hand motor version of the GG750 .If you have a left

hand version, the manual override will be on the opposite side.

C. ADJUSTING PITCH and ELBOW HEIGHT

NOTE: Adjustment of the Elbow height and pitch, will affect the height of the awning lead rail when it is fully deployed.

This adjustment is usually required after an arm replacement. Also, if the elbow of the arm hits the bottom of the casing as the lead rail closes.

Tools Required

• 17mm open-end wrench

• 19mm (3/4”) open-end wrench

• 4mm A llen wrench

1. ELBOW HEIGHT a. Extend the awning a pproximately 12” b.

To lower the elbow: Locate screw C located on the side of the shoulder, the top bolt. (Figure 11) Using a 17mm open-end wrench, rotate the bolt counter-clockwise to lower the arm positio tighten Screw D, the bottom bolt.

D. TESTING THE MOTION SENSOR (Wind Sensor)

1. Partially extend the awning (at least 3 feet).

2. Physically activate the motion sensor by shaking the awning lead rail.

3. At this point the awning should retract; if not, check that there is a 12VDC supply to the motion sensor and that the motion sensor is correctly programmed.

NOTE: The Motion sensor will send a retract signal to the motor of the awning it is programmed to on the RV. If there are multiple awnings extended that begin to retract

Page 3 6 of 49

Page 30 of 49

Page 30 of 49

GIRARD AWNING simultaneously under windy conditions, the power system of the vehicle must be able to withstand the resulting surge of current. The surge will be the greatest when the awnings are fully extended. When testing the system verify all of the awnings will close when fully extended.

E.

ADJUSTING THE LEAD RAIL

The lead rail on your awning has been preset at +/- 3 degrees. This allows the lead rail to rest firmly into the cassette and also creates a weather resistant seal for travel. To increase or decrease the pitch angle insert a 4mm Allen wrench into the Pitch adjustment screw, screw B (Figure 13). Turn clockwise to increase the pitch and turn counterclockwise to decrease the pitch. Ensure that the pitch adjustment screw is set evenly on all of the arms.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM:

The lead rail is binding on the side of the awning casing; i.e. the rail is offset from housing.

SOLUTION:

• Open the awning about 3 feet.

• Loosen the lead rail horizontal adjustment screws on all arms (Figure 14).

• Locate and remove the two fabric set screws that are on each end of the lead rail (Figure 14). The lead rail is now ready to be shifted.

• Retract the awning until the lead rail is about 4 inches from the fully closed position.

• Using a rubber mallet, tap the end of the lead rail to move it into the correct position.

• When proper alignment has been achieved tighten the lead rail horizontal adjustment screws (Figure 14), and then replace the fabric screws (Figure 15).

COMMON REPAIR PROCEDURES

MOTOR REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Replacement procedures vary due to motor styles, placement, factory installation methods, and preferences of different vehicle manufacturers.

These variations primarily effect how the motors are accessed; replacement operations are generally the same for any situation.

A. REMOVING THE OLD MOTOR

1.

Use tie straps on either side of the awning to secure the lead rail of the awning to the cassette. The strap will slide in between the awning and coach wall on each end. Take care to leave slack in the straps so when the motor side endplate is removed the lead rail will open approximately 2" to take pressure off the awning.

2.

Identify which side the motor is located on.

Proceed to take off the motor side endcap by removing the three #3 Philips screws, there are two located on the bottom and one on top.

Please take note that some RV manufacturers have requested the endcap top screw to be left out due to clearance issues

THE G–LINK SYSTEM

The G-Link motors and control modules provided by Girard Systems communicate by use of RF signals on a frequency of 433.92 MHZ. This eliminates the need for wiring and the drilling of holes in the vehicle. These components must be electronically matched, programmed or paired before use. This is usually done at the Girard Systems factory. Should the need arise for the user to pair a device with the motor controller they must refer to the appropriate manual for the devices applicable to their particular installation.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The GC1146C is a 12v DC Motor Control Module which requires a 20 Amp Circuit breaker or fuse protected power supply, designed to control a single awning motor. The thicker RED and BLACK wires are the module’s input power supply which should be connected to the vehicle’s Power distribution panel. The thinner RED and BLACK wires are the 12v output to the LED lighting strip. The BLUE and BROWN wires are the 12v output which should be connected to the awning motor. The longer White wire is the modules RF antenna. The GC1146C has an operating frequency of 433Mhz, and a range of up tp 650’ in the open or 110’ where there are obstructions. This module can be paired with up to 20 compatable RF remote devices. If additional devices are paired with the GC1146C, previously paired devices will be overwritten in turn from the second device onward.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS,

INFORMATION AND OPERATING GUIDE

FOR MODELS 3810, 3812

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Refer to Installation Instructions, Information and Operation Guides regarding the model you have purchased.

The MAXXFAN Dome fan is an exhaust fan only.

The MAXXFAN Dome fan installs into a 6 1/4 inch diameter opening.

To determine if your roof opening is correctly sized, simply remove the interior ceiling garnish trim ring of your existing roof vent and measure the ceiling opening or verify the opening is large enough by sliding the MAXXFAN Dome sleeve into the opening.

The MAXXFAN Dome is designed for a minimum roof thickness of 1 inch to a maximum of

6 inches.

The MAXXFAN Dome fan requires a minimum 12 Volt DC, 2 amp service. Confirm that the circuit you intend to use will accommodate the additional load. Circuit must be fused and use appropriate gauge stranded wire for electrical connections.

WARNING!

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY

TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Use this unit in the manner intended by AIRXCEL, INC. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel .

CAUTION!

MAXXAIR BATH FAN

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO

PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified persons(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

STEP 1

The MAXXFAN Dome fan requires a minimum 6 1/4 inch diameter roof opening. If you are replacing another type already installed, remove the old existing roof vent.

Remove all old roof sealant for a minimum of 2” entirely around the roof opening.

STEP 2

Prior to installing the MAXXFAN Dome in the roof opening, apply a continuous strip of

BUTYL tape or equivalent to the underside of the flange in the groove provided.

CAUTION! When installing your

MAXXFAN Dome fan, only use a caulking/sealant compatible with the flange (plastic product) and the roof surface. DO NOT use materials containing solvents such as or similar to

Xylene, Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone

(MEK), Acetate or Acetone as they can damage the flange. Also, Polysulfide

(Thiokol) type sealants must be avoided.

If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your RV.

STEP 3

When inserting the MAXXFAN Dome fan into the roof opening:

• orient the fan with the button toward the front of the coach.

• ensure that the fan wires are hanging to the inside of the coach.

Center the fan in the opening.

Using the eight (8) screws provided, attach the flange to the roof at each dimple location along the flange.

Note: Opening the fan lid gives better access to the flange for assembling the screws.

Screw into the dimple to pierce the flange, making sure not to overtighten the screws to avoid cracking the flange.

STEP 4

After the MAXXFAN Dome fan has been installed, remove the excess BUTYL caulk that may have squeezed out. Using a sealer such as Dicor self-leveling lap sealant or similar caulking, apply a daub over every exposed screw head. In addition, apply a bead (approximately 3/16” dia.) along the outside edge of the flange all the way around the fan.

DC Operation Precautions (3-way models only)

This refrigerator is made to operate on DC power while your vehicle is “in transit” and AC power or propane gas sources are not available. Operate the refrigerator on DC power only when the vehicle engine is running.

For the refrigerator to operate correctly on DC power, the battery must be maintained in a fully charged condition.

For the battery to be fully charged at all times during refrigerator operation on DC, the vehicle engine must be running and the battery charging system must be in good operating condition.

Keep in mind the following electrical precautions for DC operation of the refrigerator:

- Good battery condition is necessary for correct DC operation.

- The capacity of the battery charging system must be more than what is necessary for the refrigerator and other DC appliances.

- While the vehicle engine is running, make sure the voltage of the DC power supply leads at the refrigerator is more than 11.5 VDC.

Owner’s Manual 8

213

NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR

DC Operation Guidelines (3-way models only)

DC operation is intended only to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator and its contents when they are already cool.

The DC operation is not intended for the initial start up and cooling of the refrigerator. Always use either the AC operation or propane gas operation to initially start up and cool the refrigerator. The refrigerator must be cooled and the temperature must be steady before you operate the refrigerator on DC.

Keep in mind the following guidelines for DC operation of the refrigerator:

- Use DC operation of the refrigerator while the vehicle is in transit.

- Do not use DC operation until the refrigerator and its contents are completely cooled.

- Only use DC operation if the vehicle battery and battery charging system are in good operating condition.

Effects of High Altitude on Propane Gas Operation

When you operate the refrigerator on propane gas at altitudes higher than 5500 feet above sea level:

- You may experience reduced cooling performance of the refrigerator.

- You may experience burner outages.

To avoid these possible problems, Norcold recommends that you operate the refrigerator on AC when at altitudes higher than 5500 feet above sea level.

Effects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation

A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time, the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms sufficiently.

If the refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation, the refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F.

Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.

Do not change the installation or the venting of your refrigerator. Refrigerator failures, which are the result of changes to either the refrigerator installation or to the venting, are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty.

Refrigerator Care Checklist

Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:

- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See “Cleaning”.

- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.

- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.

Owner’s Manual 9

214

NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR

- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur, contact your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.

- Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and not butane or a butane mixture.

Defrosting

The cooling fins of the refrigerator operate at below freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from humidity, which is always present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigerator increases:

- with higher outside temperature and humidity.

- with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.

- with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.

- with any air leakage into the refrigerator.

Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit frost on the cooling fins. At regular intervals, the temperature control system automatically melts most of the frost from the cooling fins. The water from the cooling fins drains into a collection cup that is attached to the back of the refrigerator. The heat of the cooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.

It is normal for frost to collect inside the freezer. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator and freezer as necessary:

- Remove all food from the refrigerator.

- Turn the refrigerator OFF.

NOTICE Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.

- Remove the drain hose from the drip cup at the rear of the refrigerator.

- Put the drain hose into a half-gallon or larger container to capture water.

- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator and freezer to absorb melted frost.

!

CAUTION

High temperatures can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp or melt. Do not use pans of

HOT water, a hair dryer, or any other high temperature devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not use any hard or sharp objects to remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.

- To increase the speed of defrosting, put pans of WARM water in the refrigerator and freezer.

- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.

- Remove the drain hose from the large container and put the drain hose back into the drip cup.

- Remove the large container from the enclosure.

- Start up the refrigerator.

- Allow the refrigerator to cool down.

- Return all food to the refrigerator.

NOTES:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Horizontal mounting of the power converter, is recommended although it can be mounted in any position that provides unobstructed ventilation to the fan and vent holes.

The OEM should test the power converter under full load conditions in its intended mounting location. This will insure that there is sufficient unobstructed ventilation to the converter allowing it to operate at its maximum rated load.

Failure to provide adequate ventilation to the converter will cause the converter output to be reduced as it responds to ambient conditions.

Installation Steps:

1.

Secure converter firmly to mounting surface.

2.

Connect ground lug (found on unit base) to chassis.

• Ground wire to be between 6 and 12AWG wire.

• Tighten lug to 25 – 35 in-lbs.

3.

Disconnect battery from both positive (+) and ground (-) cables.

4.

Connect battery ground (-) to converter NEG (-) lug.

• Conductor to be between 2 and 14AWG

(follow all applicable codes when sizing conductor)

The INTELI-POWER converters are not designed for zero clearance compartments.

• Use a 5/32” hex driver to tighten the output screws. Do not exceed 50 in-lbs. torque on the output terminals.

The INTELI-POWER converters are not weather tight or designed for wet mounting locations.

They must be protected from direct contact with water.

Avoid the introduction of foreign materials into the case as this could damage or cause a malfunction of the converter.

• Tighten lug to 30 – 50 in-lbs.

5.

Disconnect any optional pendants or modules.

6.

Plug converter into appropriate outlet.

7.

Using a DC voltmeter, verify converter output.

The power converter is working properly if the voltage is above 13VDC (12V models), 26VDC

(24V models, 14.3VDC (12V 9100L models), and 28.4VDC (24V 9100-24L models). If no output is present, refer to the trouble shooting guide in this manual.

PROGRESSIVE DYNAMICS POWER CONVERTER

GENERAL INFORMATION

The INTELI-POWER series power converters are state-of-the-art electronic converter / battery chargers.

Their compact size and quiet operation gives greater flexibility in selecting the mounting location for either

OEM installation or after market replacement.

All INTELI-POWER series power converters have been designed and tested to provide maintenance free operation and undergone tens of thousands of hours of strenuous engineering testing to ensure years of trouble free operation.

The INTELI-POWER 9200 series converter incorporates the Charge Wizard  microprocessor which constantly monitors the battery voltage and automatically adjusts the converter output voltage to provide the proper charging voltage for fast recharges and long-term maintenance.

INTELI-POWER 9100 series converters incorporate the Total Charging Management System (TCMS) interface. The TCMS interface connects the converter to optional devices that can automatically control the output voltage of the converter thereby controlling the charge rate to the batteries. (See below for Charge functions and performance) W izard 

INTELI-POWER 9100L series converters do NOT

 support the Charge Wizard functionality or provide a TCMS interface. The 9100L series converters incorporate an interface for a remote shutdown module for use with a smart lithium battery system.

FEATURES

MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING ... INTELI-

POWER converters have the capability of charging multiple batteries at the same time! They can even charge a combination of different capacity batteries.

GFCI PROTECTION ... INTELI-POWER converters have the LOWEST ground fault leakage.

With this unit, the user can confidently utilize the

RV's AC outlets without being concerned about a ground fault interruption of the facilities power source.

REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION prevents damage if battery leads are cross connected. Since the only consequence of cross connection is a blown fuse, damage to or possible replacement of the converter is avoided. Cross connection of battery leads is the only thing that will blow these fuses.

Replacement fuses are available at any automotive store.

CAUTION

IF THE REVERSE BATTERY

PROTECTION FUSES ARE BLOWN

DURING INSTALLATION, CHECK TO

SEE THAT THE BATTERY HAS BEEN

CONNECTED PROPERLY BEFORE

REPLACING THE FUSES. REPLACE THE

FUSES ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE

AND RATING AS THE ORIGINAL FUSES.

USING OTHER FUSES MAY RESULT IN

CONVERTER DAMAGE, VEHICLE

DAMAGE, INJURY OR OTHER

CONSEQUENCES (SEE WARRANTY).

ELECTRONIC CURRENT LIMITING ... Should demand exceed the rated capacity of the converter or a short circuit occur, the output voltage of the converter drops to almost zero until the situation is corrected. This feature prevents blown fuses, damage to the converter, 12 volt motors and wiring.

AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION ...

Should an over temperature condition occur, the converter will reduce power output. The converter automatically resumes normal operation when a safe operating temperature is reached.

IGNITION PROTECTION ... All INTELI-POWER series converters are ignition protected.

VARIABLE SPEED COOLING FAN ... An electronic sensor monitors converter temperature.

Higher demand generates higher heat, requiring higher fan speeds. Lower demand means lower heat and fan speed. This means the fan may not operate at night or will operate at a very slow, quiet speed when demand is low and the owner is trying to sleep.

HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION ... This circuit shuts the converter down if a surge or spike in input voltage is detected. The converter will automatically return to normal operation when the condition is corrected.

LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION … INTELI-

POWER converters automatically shut down if input voltage is insufficient for continued operation. When the low voltage situation is corrected, the INTELI-

POWER converter automatically resumes normal operation.

PROGRESSIVE DYNAMICS POWER CONVERTER

GENERAL OPERATION

The INTELI-POWER series converter will supply

"clean" power from input voltages that range from

90-130 VAC (205-265 VAC for 230 volt models).

The INTELI-POWER series of converters are primarily designed for use with a battery, however, the output of the INTELI-POWER converters are a regulated, filtered DC voltage that can power sensitive electronics without the need for a battery or other filtering.

At normal input voltages the full load rated capacity is available.

At input voltages less than 105 VAC (205 VAC for

230 volt models) the converter may not supply full rated output capacity.

9100L - The full rated load is available for load, battery charging or both. When functioning as a regulated battery charger the converter has a nominal voltage output of 14.6 VDC for 12 volt models and

29.2 VDC for 24 volt models. The system is designed to sense voltage on the battery and will taper the charging current as the battery becomes charged.

CAUTION

The 9100L series converter/chargers are designed to recharge lithium iron phosphate batteries.

DO NOT USE TO RECHARGE

LEAD/ACID BATTERIES!

9100 - The full rated load is available for load, battery charging or both. When functioning as a regulated battery charger the converter has a nominal voltage output of 13.6 VDC for 12 volt models and 27.2 VDC for 24 volt models. The system is designed to sense voltage on the battery and will taper the charging current as the battery becomes charged.

When the vehicle is to be stored for extended periods of time it is recommended that the batteries be disconnected, unless a TCMS Charge Wizard   is attached to the TCMS interface. Reconnect battery once a month to maintain a full charge.

 

9200 - The full rated load is available for load, battery charging or both. When functioning as a regulated battery charger the converter has a nominal voltage output of 13.6 VDC for 12 volt models and 27.2 VDC for 24 volt models. The system is designed to sense voltage on the battery and automatically selects one of three operating modes (normal, boost and storage) to provide the correct charge level to the batteries.

BOOST MODE: If the converter senses that the battery voltage has dropped below a preset level the output voltage is increased to approximately 14.4

VDC (28.8 VDC for 24 volt models) to rapidly recharge the battery.

NORMAL MODE: Output voltage set at approximately 13.6 VDC (27.2 VDC for 24 volt models).

STORAGE MODE: When the converter senses that there has been no significant battery usage for 30 hours the output voltage is reduced to 13.2 VDC

(26.4 VDC for 24 volt models) for minimal water usage. When in storage mode the microprocessor automatically increases the output voltage to 14.4

VDC (28.8 DC for 24 volt models) for approximately

15 minutes every 21 hours to help prevent sulfation of the battery plates.

CAUTION

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FLUID

LEVEL OF ANY CONNECTED

BATTERIES BE CHECKED ON A

REGULAR BASIS. ALL BATTERIES

WILL “GAS” AND LOSE SOME FLUIDS

WHEN CONTINUOUSLY CONNECTED

TO ANY CHARGING SOURCE

 

PROGRESSIVE DYNAMICS POWER CONVERTER

CHARGE WIZARD  …  The INTELI-POWER 9200 series converters have the Charge Wizard

 

 controlled charging module built in. The Charge Wizard  is a microprocessor-controlled device incorporated in Progressive

Dynamics 9200 Series INTELI-POWER converters which constantly monitors the battery, and automatically adjusts the converter output voltage based on its charge status. The Charge Wizard

Wizard 

 has four (4) operating modes

(BOOST, NORMAL, STORAGE and EQUALIZE). Each mode is automatically selected by the Charge and ensures a fast yet safe recharge for your battery. See chart below for details.

BOOST MODE EQUALIZE

MODE 

NORMAL MODE

STORAGE MODE

NOTE: Converter output voltages are 2x the values listed in above table for 24 volt models.

Boost Mode (14.4V for 12V models and 28.8V for 24V models) - Boost mode is to rapidly recharge a battery up to

90% of full charge. Required 8 hours to return the battery to 90% of full charge and approximately 11 hours to reach full charge.**

Normal Mode (13.6V for 12V models and 27.2V for 24V models) - Normal mode is to safely complete the charge of a battery. Required 40 hours to return the battery to 90% of full charge and approximately 78 hours to reach full charge.**

Storage Mode (13.2V for 12V models and 26.4V for 24V models) – Storage mode is to maintain a batteries charge as well as help prevent battery stratification and sulfation. Required 60 hours to return the battery to 90% of full charge and approximately 100 hours to reach full charge.**

Equalize Mode (14.4V for 12V models and 28.8V for 24V models) - The Charge Wizard 

 will automatically switch to equalize mode for approximately 15 minutes every 21 hours the converter remains in storage mode. This will help prevent battery stratification, sulfation and loss of battery capacity (useful life).

** Times based on a PD9155 recharging a 125AH battery that has been discharged to 10.5V.

- All times and voltages provided above are approximate. -

The integrated Charge Wizard’s ability to change the output voltage of the converter will significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to recharge your battery. The lower voltage for Storage mode helps prevents gassing and reduces water loss during long-term storage.

PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRIES SURGE PROTECTOR

Features

High/Low Voltage Protection | Whenever AC power lowers below 104 volts, or rises above 132 volts, the EMS automatically shuts down power to the RV. The EMS will monitor the power and once the AC power rises above 104 volts, or drops below the

132 volt level the time delay indicator flashes for the preset time and then automatically restores power to the RV.

Time Delay for A/C Compressor | If AC power is interrupted or the EMS detects a fault condition, the built in time delay is activated. There are two settings on the EMS: one is 136 seconds

(02:16), and the other is 15 seconds. Consult your air conditioner manual to see if it has a time delay built in. If so, use the 15 second delay, if not, use the 136-seconds delay. The factory setting is 15 seconds.

3-Mode Surge Protection (EMS-HW30C) | This feature provides full surge protection L-N, L-G, and N-G. Total Joule rating is 1,790J and 44,000A surge current. Response time <1

Nano second.

5-Mode Surge Protection (EMS-HW50C) | This feature provides full surge protection L-N, L-N, L-G, L-L, and N-G. Joule rating is

3,580J and 88,000A surge current. Response time <1 Nano second

Surge Indicator | In the event of a power surge and the surge protector circuit is damaged within the EMS-L-N or L-G the digital error code will read E10. This indicates the EMS needs to be serviced.

Reverse Polarity Protection | If AC power has a reverse polarity condition, the EMS will not allow power to the RV and the error code will read E 1

Open Neutral Protection |

If AC power has an open neutral, the display will not light and the

EMS will not allow power to the RV.

PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRIES SURGE PROTECTOR

Open Ground Protection | If AC power has an open ground condition, the EMS will read an error code of E2, and power will not be allowed to the RV.

AC Frequency Protection | If AC power frequency deviates plus/minus 9 hertz from 60 cycles per second, the EMS will shut down AC power. An Error code of E 7 will be displayed when the frequency is high; and an Error code of E 8 will be displayed when frequency is low.

Accidental 240V Protection | If 240 volts is detected when plugging into AC power the EMS will NOT allow power to the

RV. If this condition occurs while power is applied to the RV, the

EMS shuts off power instantly. The display will read the voltage and E 3 for the error. NEVER BYPASS THE EMS WHEN

THIS OCCURS)

Remote Display | Continuously scrolls the AC power information, including voltage, current, frequency, error codes and previous errors. Each reading is displayed for two (2) seconds.

Previous Error Code | Previous error code (PE) indicates what error occurred and why power was interrupted. To delete code, disconnect power from EMS.

ByPass | This switch is located on the remote display and allows the user to bypass the EMS in the event of failure, thus allowing

AC power into the RV. This does not disable the surge protection portion of the EMS; however, all other features are disabled.

Modular Design | Replacement parts are designed for simple plug-and-play making repairs extremely user friendly.

Microprocessor Controlled | The computer and remote display are driven by state-of-the-art microprocessors that are programmed with software to drive the entire EMS unit.

Warnings

• Do not exceed the rating on the EMS for any reason. These devices

are designed to be reduced down to 120V/15A and maintain full

protection.

• Do not modify the EMS in any way as this will void the warranty,

compromise protection and could result in possible shock, and/or a

fire hazard.

• It is important to always check the pedestal power outlet for

charring;; this condition means the AC receptacle is providing a

weak connection. Should this condition exists, DO NOT USE as it

could result in possible melting of the RV power plug.

• Progressive Industries recommends you have a certified electrician or

an authorized dealer perform the installation of the EMS.

• All AC power extension cords in conjunction with your EMS unit

should be rated 10 gauge for 120V, 30A systems or 6 gauge for

240V, 50A systems and rated for outdoor use to reduce the risk of

electrical shock. Small gauge cable will have a higher resistance and

can result in voltage loss or an electrical fire.

• Whenever servicing or installing the EMS, or any other AC powered

device, make sure AC power is disconnected.

• RV wiring is different than wiring found in homes; the neutral and

ground conductors are isolated in the RV, unlike in a home where

they are tied at the service panel. Therefore, never connect neutral

and ground together for any reason. This could result in a ground

fault condition, and may result in electric shock and/or a fire

hazard.

• Never solder the ends of the wires you attach during installation.

This includes the Red, Black and White whites

• Never plug the EMS into an inverter.

Operating Instructions

1. Plug into A/C power.

2. Digital display will read 888 for one second and then begin

scrolling the voltage, amps, line frequency and error code, if any.

In addition, the time delay light will flash while the EMS is going

through its countdown and will stop when the unit engages

(Bottom right hand corner.) If delay light does not flash, a fault

condition is present. Look at the Error code chart to determine

what the AC power problem is.

3. You may notice when first plugging in, the display may read

E 9. This indicates the display has not received the data from the

computer yet. Do not be alarmed, this is normal. By the next

scroll through, it should read E 0 if the AC power is normal.

4. The digital display will give you a three digit number indicating

your line voltage. Next, it will give you a “0A” reading indicating

current (amps) Current (amps) will read zero until the time delay

is complete (136 seconds or 15 seconds, depending on your

settings). Then you will notice a number between 0 and 50. This

number indicates how many amps the RV is drawing. Next, you

will notice “60H”, indicating your line frequency. This number

should remain fairly consistent; however, it may read plus/minus

one or two. Lastly, note the E code. E 0 is normal and only when

E 0 or E10 is present will the delay light flash and allow power to

the RV. Refer to the Error code chart card that was provided or

see Error Code Chart for additional information.

5. Verify the error code E 0 is displayed and set up is now

complete.

IMPORTANT: The display will only read voltages between approximately 78 volts and 255 volts.

NOTE: If the wiring reads anything different than correct, the EMS will not turn on and we recommend you move to a different source of AC power or use your generator power. Also, if power is below

104 volts or above 132 volts, the EMS will not turn on, and we recommend using your generator power.

* Code only apply to EMS-HW50C models

Note: If the EMS cuts the power to the RV it will show a PE code following the E code. This denotes the previous error or why the

EMS shut down. Example: The EMS cuts power for low voltage on

Line 1, and then the power is restored. The Error Code reads E 0, but the PE code reads PE 4 which tells the user low voltage was the reason for the EMS previously cutting power. This PE error code will be deleted when power is disconnected from the EMS.

Accidental 240 volt Protection: Should this condition occur, the display will read 240 volts instead of displaying the voltage and the error code message will read E 3. AC power will shut down instantly.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BYPASS THE EMS;

OTHERWISE, THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO

THE RV.

Troubleshooting Guide

Common installation mistakes:

1. Check connections. Input is the plug side of the RV and black

should be attached to L1, white to L2. Output (going to the RV)

should match up. T1 is black, T2 white. The green ground gets

attached to the input and output on the side of the box.

2. Make sure the input wires are, in fact, the input wires. Connecting

the output to the input of the EMS will cause the device to

malfunction.

3. If the EMS is still not functioning at this point, follow instructions

below prior to calling Progressive Industries Technical Support.

In order for the on-call Technician to help troubleshoot the problem(s) you are experiencing and render the best possible solution, it is necessary you be at your RV when you place your call.

1. If the display is illuminated and scrolling information, note the

Error Code. If there is an Error code of 1-9, the device will

interrupt the power. See Error Chart for definition of AC power

problem. The device being off when an Error Code is present

indicates the product is working properly and protecting your

coach.

2. If the display is illuminated and reading Error code E 0, and yet no

power is present in the coach, please contact Progressive Industries

Tech Support. You must wait for the time delay light to stop flashing.

3. If the display is not illuminated and power is in the coach there

is a connection issue between the display and the main control box.

Contact Technical Support.

Progressive Industries Tech Support can only help if the above information is provided; therefore, please do not call until this information is obtained. Again, it is necessary for your to be at the RV when you place your call. To recap...

1. Are the connections correct?

2. What is the Error Code message being displayed?

3. Is the delay indicator flashing?

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

❚ Solid Surface within 6' of tank.

❚ Minimize flow restrictions in the system.

❚ No Accumulator needed.

❚ Flexible hose on inlet and outlet.

Minimize plumbing elbows and valves.

❚ Accessible location.

❚ Strainer on pump inlet.

❚ Properly Sized wiring.

Properly electrical protection.

❚ Properly sized plumbing.

The goal of installation is to provide a quiet, easy-to-maintain installation with good flow and low backpressure. This can be accomplished with the following guidelines:

❚ Mount on a solid surface in an accessible location for strainer cleaning and pump maintenance.

❚ 1/2" Male threaded models are intended to be used with SHURFLO swivel barb fittings which seal with an internal taper when hand tightened.

CAUTION: Sealers and Teflon tape may act as lubricant causing cracked housings or stripped threads due to over-tightening. Sealer may enter the pump inhibiting valve action, causing no prime or no shut-off. A failure due to foreign debris is not covered under warranty.

❚ Use flexible high-pressure hose on the pump inlet and outlet [such as SHURFLO

Kit 94-591-01] . The pumps ports and strainer should not be connected to plastic or rigid pipe, or the pump's normal motion will transmit through rigid plumbing causing noise, and possibly loosening or cracking components.

FLOW MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS 911-1008 REV. K

❚ Pump must use an adequate 50-mesh strainer [such as SHURFLO 255 series strainers].

Use a minimum of 1/2" [13mm]

Inner Diameter plumbing. Smaller ID plumbing will cause cavitation, high back pressure, low flow and noise.

❚ No need for an accumulator with bypass pumps.

❚ Pump is designed for intermittent duty only: Do not use these pumps for running a Reverse-Osmosis [RO]

Filtration System. High pressurecontinuous duty usage will shorten the life of the pump and is not covered under warranty.

❚ Wire Size is 16 GA MINIMUM , 12GA is recommended — See Wire Chart in

Electrical Section for minimum sizing.

Minimum power requirement is a 10

Amp circuit.

❚ Reduce restrictions on inlet and outlet . This includes small inner diameter shut-off valves, winterizing valves and elbows.

If the RV has an Intellitec Pump

Controller , it must be rated at 10 or 15 amps; If the controller is rated at 7.5

Amps, a new controller or a high-amp relay must be used.

MOUNTING

❚ Mount the pump within 6 feet of the tank for best performance and pump life. The pump will pull farther, but the farther it pulls the more work it does, increasing vibration and noise, and reducing the output and pump life.

❚ Mount pump in a space of at least 1 cubic foot for adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.

❚ Pump may be mounted in any position.

Mount pump for easy access for cleaning strainer, maintenance and service.

❚ Mount pump on a solid surface to prevent vibration and noise.

SHURFLO WATER PUMP

ELECTRICAL ABOUT THE BY-PASS

❚ The pump works best on an individual filtered circuit, protected by the recommended fuse or breaker specified on the label.

A 15-Amp switch is recommended and should be on the positive lead (red wire).

❚ Wire Sizing: Proper wire sizing is required for good pump operation. If the wire is too small, low voltage will affect the pump performance and can create a fire hazard. SHUT OFF POWER TO THE PUMP

NOTE: By-pass adjustment should only be performed by a professional technician with proper gauges and equipment.

The by-pass is a spring loaded diaphragm that opens up allowing water from the discharge side back to the inlet side. The by-pass is set to begin opening at about 40 psi and creating full by-pass at about 62 psi (lower pressure pumps will vary depending on the by-pass and pressure shut-off settings). The pressure switch on the pump is set to shut off at 55 psi. If the switch or by-pass are adjusted too much, the by-pass and switch shut-off can overlap and THE

PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF.

Screw-

SANITIZING

PLUMBING

Installation of a strainer is required to prevent debris from entering the pump.

For noise and vibration reduction we recommend at least 18 in. [.5 M] of

1/2" [13mm] I.D. flexible high-pressure hose to both ports. The pump ports and strainer should not be connected to plastic or rigid pipe. This hose should be anchored where it meets the hard plumbing to reduce plumbing vibration.

Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to keep components working properly and deliver a consistent flow of fresh water. Sanitizing is recommended: prior to storing, after a period of storage, or any time the system is opened or contaminated, as follows:

NOTE: Check your Vehicle Owner’s

Manual for specific instructions.

By-pass any filters or remove filter cartridges.

1.

Determine the amount of common household bleach needed to sanitize the tank.

A) 2 ounces of bleach per 15 gallons tank size: 60 gallon tank [15 x 4] = 4 x

2 ounces = 8 ounces of bleach.

B) I ml bleach per 1 liter tank size:

300 liter tank = 300 milliliters of bleach.

OPERATION

This pump is designed for intermittent duty only. The pump operates normally up to about 40-psi, where a spring-loaded by-pass valve opens, allowing flow back from the output side to the input side, providing smooth, steady flow with virtually no cycling, all the way down to a trickle. As a faucet is opened back up, the pressure will drop, the by-pass will close and full flow is again obtained. This allows good flow, even with today’s restrictive showers and pullout sprayer faucets. Performance will vary, of course, depending on the voltage to the pump; lower voltage = lower flow, higher voltage = higher flow. Remember your electrical safety: It is always best to shut power to the pump OFF when leaving the RV unattended.

2

WINTERIZING

Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for specific winterizing instructions.

If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the plumbing and pump may occur. Failures of this type will void the warranty. The best guarantee against damage is to completely drain the pump and perform the following:

1.

Drain the water tank. If the tank doesn't have a drain valve, open all faucets allowing the pump to operate until the tank is empty.

2.

Open all the faucets (including the lowest valve or drain in the plumbing), allow the pump to purge the water from the plumbing, and then turn the pump OFF.

ing the switch screw in clockwise will raise the shut-off pressure. Unscrewing the switch screw counterclockwise will lower the pump shut-off pressure.

Screwing the by-pass screw in will raise the pressure at which the by-pass starts and raise the full by-pass pressure.

Unscrewing the by-pass screw counterclockwise will lower the pressure at which by-pass starts and lower the full by-pass pressure.

WARNING: If full by-pass is reached before the shut-off setting, the pump will not shut off.

Full by-pass pressure setting should be at least 10 psi higher than pump shut off pressure.

2.

Mix the bleach with water in a container such as a gallon jug. If tank is filled through a pressurized fitting, pour the bleach into the hose before attaching the hose to the city water entry.

3. Pour the bleach solution into the tank and fill the tank with potable water. Rock the RV back and forth to coat top and sides of potable water tank.

4.

Open all faucets (Hot & Cold) allowing the water to run until the odor of chlorine is detected. Allow four (4) hours of contact time to disinfect completely. Doubling the solution concentration allows for a contact time of one (1) hour.

5.

Drain the tank. Refill the tank and flush the system once or twice until the odor has decreased. The residual chlorine odor and taste is not harmful.

3.

Using a pan to catch the remaining water, remove the plumbing at the pump's inlet/outlet ports. Turn the pump ON, allowing it to operate until the water is expelled. Turn OFF power to the pump once the plumbing is emptied.

Do not reconnect the pump plumbing.

Make a note at tank filler as a reminder:

"Plumbing is disconnected".

4.

All faucets must be left open to guard against any damage.

5.

Potable anti-freeze may be poured down drains and toilets to protect p-traps and toilet seals. Sanitize the plumbing system before putting the plumbing system back in service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Vibration induced by driving can loosen plumbing, strainers and pump hardware. Check for system components that are loose. Also, refer to the chart below for trouble-shooting tips.

PUMP WILL NOT START/ BLOWS

CIRCUIT

√ Electrical connections, fuse or breaker, main switch, and ground connection.

√ Is the motor hot? Thermal breaker may have triggered; it will reset when cool.

√ Is voltage present at the switch?

Bypass pressure sw. Does the pump operate?

√ Charging System for correct voltage

(±10%) and good ground.

√ For an open or grounded circuit, or motor; or improperly sized wire.

√ For seized or locked diaphragm assembly (water frozen?).

WILL NOT PRIME/SPUTTERS

(No discharge/Motor runs)

√ Is the strainer clogged with debris?

√ Is there water in the tank, or has air collected in the hot water heater?

√ Is the inlet tubing/plumbing sucking in air at plumbing connections

(vacuum leak)?

√ Is inlet/outlet plumbing severely restricted or kinked? Restrictive valves?

√ Proper voltage with the pump operating (±10%).

√ For debris in pump inlet/outlet valves or swollen/dry valves.

√ Pump housing for cracks or loose drive assembly screws.

RAPID CYCLING

√ For restrictive plumbing and flow restrictions in faucets/shower heads.

√ Water filter/purifier should be on separate feed line.

√ Shut-off pressure set too low.

PUMP WILL NOT SHUT-OFF / RUNS

WHEN FAUCET IS CLOSED

√ Output side (pressure) plumbing for leaks, and inspect for leaky valves or toilet.

√ For air trapped in outlet side (water heater) or pump head.

√ For correct voltage to pump (±10%).

√ For loose drive assembly or pump head screws.

√ Are the valves held open by debris or is the rubber swollen?

√ Pressure switch operation. By-pass set higher than shut-off.

NOISY OR ROUGH OPERATION

√ For plumbing which may have vibrated loose.

√ For a restricted inlet (clogged strainer, kinked hose, restrictive valves).

√ Is the pump plumbed with rigid pipe causing noise to transmit?

√ Does the mounting surface amplify noise (flexible)? Does it bang like a drum?

√ For mounting feet that are loose or are compressed too tight.

√ For air in the system. Check all fixtures for air and bleed system.

√ The motor with pump head removed. Is noise from motor or pump head?

LEAKS FROM PUMP HEAD OR SWITCH

√ For loose screws at switch or pump head.

√ Switch diaphragm ruptured or pinched.

√ For punctured diaphragm if water is present in drive assembly.

MAINTENANCE

Normal pump maintenance is all that is needed: Checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal sanitizing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and fittings for tightness. Lack of sanitizing is the number one reason for premature pump failure and poor performance over time.

Lack of sanitizing will cause scale buildup on the diaphragm and valves, causing low flow and leak back [occasional pump cycling with no faucets open or tank filling up when hooked up to city water].

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.

Pay special attention to these items.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

If you want to lock the battery compartment, or lock the Smoke/CO

Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking

Features” section.

1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the unit.

2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6. Line the mounting bracket up over the plastic screw anchors.

7. Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall through the mounting slots using the two screws provided.

8. Before attaching the Alarm to the bracket, insert the two (2)

AA batteries (included) into the battery compartment. Match the terminals on the end of the battery with the terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and

“-” to “-.” If the batteries are not fully inserted, the unit cannot receive battery power.

NOTE: The unit may beep briefly when you install the batteries. This is normal.

The GREEN Light flashes about every 60 seconds when the unit is receiving battery power.

3. To relock the battery compartment, close the battery door and reinsert locking pin in lock.

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

If the unit does not alarm during testing, DO

NOT lock the battery compartment! Install new batteries and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

3. Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, detach one locking pin from the mounting bracket.

4. Push the locking pin through the hole near the battery door latch on the back of the

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of Smoke/CO

Alarms" for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations.

It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.

After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

1. Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, detach one locking pin from the mounting bracket.

1. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the rectangular cut-out on the mounting bracket nearest to the locking pin.

2. Insert the locking pin through the hole on the back of the Smoke/CO Alarm as shown in the diagram.

2. Pry the Smoke/CO Alarm away from the bracket by pushing up on the screwdriver and turning the Smoke/CO Alarm counterclockwise

(left) at the same time.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15 minutes, then return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to increase–the device will go back into alarm.

The CO alarm will remain silent for up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous the horn will start sounding again.

3. When you attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket, the locking pin’s head will fit into a notch on the bracket.

WEEKLY TESTING

• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL). NEVER use vehicle exhaust!

Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty.

• DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding.

Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test this

Smoke/CO Alarm.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE, Continued

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where This

Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two standard AA batteries. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell MN1500. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual.

DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).

• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Consult your local waste management authority or recycling organization to find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES

MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.

Actual battery service life depends on the Smoke/CO Alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts

“chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

To replace the batteries (without removing

Alarm from the ceiling or wall):

1. Open the battery compartment.

2. Press tabs A and B as shown in the diagram and remove each battery.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

Though this

Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,

BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.

Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor

• and cause unwanted alarms.

• utility room, or other source of high humidity.

In direct sunlight.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters)

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long,

• install a unit at each end.

At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure:

Extreme Exposure:

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters),

• install a unit at each end.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

*

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

Suggested locations are based on

NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for

Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation.

In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

This combination Smoke/CO Alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device.

You must install this device on the ceiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where To Install This Alarm” before starting.

PARTS OF THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM

1 Test/Silence Button

2 Battery Compartment

3 Power/Smoke Alarm LED

4 CO Alarm LED

Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, flathead screwdriver, hammer.

• Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly.

• Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm.

To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally.

Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

If you want to lock the battery compartment, or lock the Smoke/CO

Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking

Features” section.

1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the unit.

2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6. Line the mounting bracket up over the plastic screw anchors.

7. Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall through the mounting slots using the two screws provided.

8. Before attaching the Alarm to the bracket, insert the two (2)

AA batteries (included) into the battery compartment. Match the terminals on the end of the battery with the terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and

“-” to “-.” If the batteries are not fully inserted, the unit cannot receive battery power.

NOTE: The unit may beep briefly when you install the batteries. This is normal.

The GREEN Light flashes about every 60 seconds when the unit is receiving battery power.

The battery door will resist closing unless batteries are installed. This warns you the unit will not operate without batteries.

9. Attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right) until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Once the Smoke/CO Alarm is snapped onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate the Smoke/CO Alarm to adjust the alignment.

10. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. See “Weekly

Testing” for details.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm.

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT remove the batteries!

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide

(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Operate the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:

__________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.

Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

__________________________________________________________________

NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replac ement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of Smoke/CO

Alarms" for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations.

It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.

After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15 minutes, then return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to increase–the device will go back into alarm.

The CO alarm will remain silent for up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous the horn will start sounding again.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours. Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover.

Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the unit continues to flash the Green light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the batteries as soon as possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for up to 2 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the

Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life silence feature has been activated.

After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency

Placement Recommendations” for details.

Continued...

5

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

Though this

Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,

BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.

Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors.

It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which

CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give

This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life.

Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof.

Like all other electronic devices, this

Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

Suggested locations are based on

NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for

Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation.

In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, flathead screwdriver, hammer.

• Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly.

• Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

If you want to lock the battery compartment, or lock the Smoke/CO

Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking

Features” section.

1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the unit.

2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6. Line the mounting bracket up over the plastic screw anchors.

7. Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall through the mounting slots using the two screws provided.

8. Before attaching the Alarm to the bracket, insert the two (2)

AA batteries (included) into the battery compartment. Match the terminals on the end of the battery with the terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and

“-” to “-.” If the batteries are not fully inserted, the unit cannot receive battery power.

NOTE: The unit may beep briefly when you install the batteries. This is normal.

The GREEN Light flashes about every 60 seconds when the unit is receiving battery power.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm.

To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally.

Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

The battery door will resist closing unless batteries are installed. This warns you the unit will not operate without batteries.

9. Attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right) until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Once the Smoke/CO Alarm is snapped onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate the Smoke/CO Alarm to adjust the alignment.

10. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. See “Weekly

Testing” for details.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

253

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.

Pay special attention to these items.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries.

Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to replace the batteries at the end of their service life, removes your protection.

• NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for more information on how to respond to an alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury or death.

• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. See "Using the Silence Features" for details.

Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm.

Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

• Test this Smoke/CO Alarm once a week. If the Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the Alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition contact your physician.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

Suggested locations are based on

NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for

Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation.

In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, flathead screwdriver, hammer.

• Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly.

• Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

If you want to lock the battery compartment, or lock the Smoke/CO

Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking

Features” section.

1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the unit.

2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6. Line the mounting bracket up over the plastic screw anchors.

7. Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall through the mounting slots using the two screws provided.

8. Before attaching the Alarm to the bracket, insert the two (2)

AA batteries (included) into the battery compartment. Match the terminals on the end of the battery with the terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and

“-” to “-.” If the batteries are not fully inserted, the unit cannot receive battery power.

NOTE: The unit may beep briefly when you install the batteries. This is normal.

The GREEN Light flashes about every 60 seconds when the unit is receiving battery power.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm.

To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally.

Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

The battery door will resist closing unless batteries are installed. This warns you the unit will not operate without batteries.

9. Attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right) until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Once the Smoke/CO Alarm is snapped onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate the Smoke/CO Alarm to adjust the alignment.

10. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. See “Weekly

Testing” for details.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

If the unit does not alarm during testing, DO

NOT lock the battery compartment! Install new batteries and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

3. Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, detach one locking pin from the mounting bracket.

4. Push the locking pin through the hole near the battery door latch on the back of the

REGULAR MAINTENANCE, Continued

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where This

Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two standard AA batteries. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell MN1500. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual.

DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).

• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Consult your local waste management authority or recycling organization to find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES

MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.

Actual battery service life depends on the Smoke/CO Alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts

“chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

To replace the batteries (without removing

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

254

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

Though this

Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,

BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.

Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors.

It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.

Pay special attention to these items.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries.

Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to replace the batteries at the end of their service life, removes your protection.

• NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for more information on how to respond to an alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury or death.

• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. See "Using the Silence Features" for details.

Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm.

Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

• Test this Smoke/CO Alarm once a week. If the Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the Alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition contact your physician.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

Suggested locations are based on

NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for

Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation.

In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm.

To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally.

Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

This combination Smoke/CO Alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device.

You must install this device on the ceiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where To Install This Alarm” before starting.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE, Continued

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where This

Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two standard AA batteries. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell MN1500. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual.

DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).

• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Consult your local waste management authority or recycling organization to find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES

MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.

Actual battery service life depends on the Smoke/CO Alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts

“chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

To replace the batteries (without removing

Alarm from the ceiling or wall):

1. Open the battery compartment.

2. Press tabs A and B as shown in the diagram and remove each battery.

3. Insert the new batteries, making sure they snap completely into the battery compartment.

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT remove the batteries!

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide

(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Operate the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:

__________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.

Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

__________________________________________________________________

NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replac ement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of Smoke/CO

Alarms" for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations.

It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.

After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15 minutes, then return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to increase–the device will go back into alarm.

The CO alarm will remain silent for up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous the horn will start sounding again.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours. Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover.

Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the unit continues to flash the Green light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the batteries as soon as possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for up to 2 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the

Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life silence feature has been activated.

After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency

Placement Recommendations” for details.

SMOKE DETECTOR

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

Though this

Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,

BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.

Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors.

It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which

CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give

This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life.

Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof.

Like all other electronic devices, this

Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.

All First Alert ® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debrisfree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.

Pay special attention to these items.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries.

Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to replace the batteries at the end of their service life, removes your protection.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms , as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

Suggested locations are based on

NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72 for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for

Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always refer to national and local codes before beginning any installation.

In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm.

To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally.

Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

This combination Smoke/CO Alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device.

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT remove the batteries!

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide

(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Operate the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:

__________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.

Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

__________________________________________________________________

NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replac ement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of Smoke/CO

Alarms" for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations.

It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.

After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15 minutes, then return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to increase–the device will go back into alarm.

The CO alarm will remain silent for up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous the horn will start sounding again.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours. Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover.

Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the unit continues to flash the Green light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the batteries as soon as possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for up to 2 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the

Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life silence feature has been activated.

After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency

Placement Recommendations” for details.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, Continued

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities

Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72

(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.

Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101

(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.

HUD MAP Program

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.

Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.

Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC

SMOKE DETECTOR concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors.

It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which

CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.

Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.

Though this

Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,

BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.

Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life.

Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof.

Like all other electronic devices, this

Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.

MAKING WATER CONNECTIONS

A. W ater connections are m ade at the rear of the water heater. Refer to Figure

4 for all m odels except SW 6DM and SW 6DEM. For SW 6DM and SW 6DEM, refer to Figure 5 or 6. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the 1/2" fem ale pipe fitting provided on rear of tank. These fittings are marked “HOT” and “COLD”. NOTE:

Inside each fitting is a plastic fill tube. Its purpose is to enhance water circulation.

DO NOT REM OVE PLASTIC FILL TUBE.

IMPORTANT: Use a pipe thread com pound suitable for potable water or pipe thread tape on all connections to assure they will not leak.

B.

For ease of rem oval, it is suggested that a pipe union be installed in each water line.

C.

Fill tank with water. Open both hot and cold water faucets to expel air from tank. W hen tank is filled and water flows from faucets, close both faucets and check all connections for leaks.

CAUTION: If you use air pressure to check for leaks, the pressure must not exceed 30 PSI (in accordance with 4-9.1.1 of ANSI A119.2).

NOTE: After leak testing, drain water from tank.

MAKING GAS CONNECTIONS

A.

Connect a 3/8" gas supply line to the 3/8 flare fitting at gas valve located in the control housing. W hen m aking the gas connection, hold the gas fitting on the valve with a wrench when tightening the flare nut. Failure to hold fitting secure could result in a gas leak due to fitting being dam aged. NOTE: It will be necessary to rem ove the grom m et from the control housing, make the gas connection at the valve, then reinstall grom m et.

W ARNING! It is im perative that grom m et and gas line through grom m et be caulked air tight. If not tightly sealed, m oisture and potential harm ful flue products could vent through opening and into living area of trailer.

(See Figure 7.)

B.

Turn on gas and check all fittings and connections for leaks, using a soap and water solution. Correct even the slightest leak imm ediately.

W ARNING! Do not use an open flam e to check for leaks!

HIGH ALTITUDE DERATION

Suburban water heaters are certified by nationally recognized testing laboratories for operation without m odifications at altitudes up to 4,500 feet. Operation above this elevation m ay require derating by 4 percent for every 1,000 feet above sea level. For exam ple, at 8,000 feet, the water heater should be derated approxim ately 32 percent.

If the unit is not properly derated, lack of sufficient oxygen for com bustion m ay produce im proper burner operation. Pilot outage caused by burner lift-off or sooting from a yellow burner may occur indicating the possibility of carbon m onoxide. You m ay also notice a lack of efficiency in heating the water because of incom plete com bustion of the burner at these higher altitudes.

Consult with the local gas company, your dealer, an RV service agency or

Suburban Manufacturing Com pany for proper derating of the unit. Change-out of the orifice (derating) should be done by the dealer or a qualified service agency.

NOTE: It is im portant that once the unit has returned to lower elevation (below

4,500 feet), this high altitude deration and pilot adjustm ents (if equipped) be reversed for proper operation of the unit.

MAINTENANCE

W ARNING! If the user of this appliance fails to m aintain it in the condition in which it was shipped from the factory or if the appliance is not used solely for its intended purpose or if appliance is not maintained in accordance with the instructions in this m anual, then the risk of a fire and/or the production of carbon monoxide exists which can cause personal injury, property damage or loss of life.

W ARNING: For your safety, all repairs should be perform ed by your dealer or a qualified service person.

A.

Main Burner: Do not allow the burner to burn with a yellow flam e, because sooting will occur. (See Safety W arnings). If the burner flam e is yellow and has an erratic pattern, shut unit down and contact a qualified service agency. Do not continue operating unit with im proper burner flam e. (See Figure 11 for correct and incorrect burner flam e appearance.)

B.

Periodically inspect unit for soot. If soot is present anywhere on water heater, im m ediately shut unit down and contact your dealer or a qualified service person.

Soot is a sign of incom plete com bustion and m ust be corrected before operating water heater. Areas to check would include:

1.

Check for an obstruction in burner or the flue box.

2.

Check the screen in the door to see that no foreign m aterial has accum ulated to prevent flow of com bustion and ventilating air.

3.

Check to be sure there is no flam e present at burner orifice or burner whenever m ain gas valve is closed. This can be checked by turning the OFF/ON switch to the “OFF” position.

C.

Frequent checks should be m ade of the grom m et on the gas inlet to assure tight seal. (See “Making Gas Connections”).

D.

Periodically check wiring and wire connection to be sure wiring is not dam aged/frayed and that all term inals and connections are tight and in com pliance with codes (See “Making W ire Connections”).

SUBURBAN WATER HEATER

SAFETY WARNINGS

W ARNING! It is im perative that the water heater tank be filled with water before operating the water heater. Operation of the water heater without water in the tank m ay result in dam age to the tank and/or controls. This type of dam age is not covered by the lim ited warranty.

W ARNING! Hydrogen gas m ay result if you have not used this heater for two weeks or m ore. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREM ELY FLAM M ABLE. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water faucet for several m inutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system . If hydrogen is present, you probably will hear an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow.

Hydrogen gas m ay be present even after water has been drained from the tank. Open faucet at sink and allow system to vent for several m inutes (5-

10 m inutes).

Do not sm oke or have any open flam e near the open faucet. Do not attem pt to light pilot or m ain burner. On DSI m odels, be sure the switch is “OFF”.

Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the m anual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off the electrical supply.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been subm erged under water.

Im m ediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been subm erged under water.

Do not alter the operation of your water heater nor change the design/construction of your water heater. Accessories are being m arketed for RV products which we do not recom m end. For your safety, only factory authorized parts are to be used on your water heater.

Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or presence of soot. Soot is form ed whenever com bustion is incom plete. This is your visual warning that the water heater is operating in an unsafe m anner. If soot is present, im m ediately shut the w ater heater down and contact your dealer or a qualified service person.

W hen considering add-on room s, porch or patio, attention m ust be given to the venting of your water heater. For your safety, do not term inate the vent on your water heater inside add-on room s, screen porch or onto patios. Doing so will result in products of com bustion being vented into the room s or occupied areas.

Never operate the heater if you sm ell gas. Do not assum e that the sm ell of gas in your RV is norm al. Any tim e you detect the odor of gas, it is to be considered life threatening and corrected im m ediately. Extinguish any open flam es including cigarettes and evacuate all persons from the vehicle. Shut off gas supply at LP gas bottle. (See Safety notice on front cover of this m anual.)

NOTE: Always open both the cold and hot water faucets when filling vehicle water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the water heater.

W hen water flows from the heater faucets, close both faucets.

W ARNING! Do not store or use com bustible materials or liquids near or adjacent to this heater. The appliance shall not be installed in any location where flam m able liquids or vapors are likely to be present.

Be sure the power is "OFF" to the water heater ignition system during any type of refueling and while vehicle is in m otion or being towed.

The therm ostat on your water heater is not adjustable. It is a tem perature sensing lim it designed to m aintain a water tem perature of 130 F (54 C).

W ater tem peratures over 130 F (54 C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot water. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded. Always feel water before bathing or showering.

ANODE PROTECTION

The tank in this water heater is protected by a magnesium or alum inum anode to prolong the life of the tank by absorbing the corrosive action of hot water. Under norm al use, the anode rod will deteriorate and because of this, we recom m end it be replaced yearly. NOTE: W ater with high levels of iron and/or sulfate will increase the rate of deterioration; therefore, m ore frequent replacem ent may be required. If anode rod is m ostly eaten away, replace it with a new one. (See

Figure 12)

To prevent a water leak when replacing the anode rod, a pipe thread sealant approved for potable water (such as Teflon tape) m ust be applied to the threads of the anode rod. Proper application of a thread sealant will not interfere with the anode’s tank protection.

Operating the water heater without proper anode protection will decrease tank life and will void your warranty on the tank. NOTE: Tank is drained by rem oving anode rod (See “Drain and Storage” instructions).

To extend anode life, drain water from tank whenever RV is not being used. Avoid any extended tim e of non use with water in tank.

Also, refer to section on winterizing.

W ARNING! Do not replace the anode rod with any non-Suburban accessory part, such as an “add-on” electric heating elem ent. Item s such as these are not approved to be installed in Suburban products. They could create an unsafe condition and will also void all warranties.

Figure 12

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The tem perature and pressure relief valve is designed to open if the tem perature of the water within the heater reaches 210 F, or if the water pressure in the heater reaches 150 pounds. Recreational vehicle water system s are closed system s and during the water heating cycle the pressure build-up in the water system will reach

150 pounds. W hen this pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve will open and water will drip from the valve. This dripping will continue until the pressure is reduced to below 150 pounds, and the valve closes. This condition is norm al and does not indicate a defective relief valve.

W ARNING! Do not place a valve between the relief valve and the tank. Do not plug the relief valve under any circum stances.

WATER WEEPING OR DRIPPING FROM PRESSURE

RELIEF VALVE

You may experience water weeping or dripping from your water heater’s Pressure and Tem perature (P & T) Relief Valve when your water heater is operating. W ater weeping or dripping from the P & T Valve does not always mean the P & T Valve is defective. As water is heated, it expands. The water system in a recreational vehicle is a closed system and does not allow for the expansion of heated water.

W hen the pressure of the water system exceeds the relieving point of the P & T

Valve, the valve will relieve the excess pressure.

Suburban recom m ends that a check valve not be installed directly at the inlet to the water heater tank. This will increase weeping of the pressure relief valve.

W ARNING! Do not rem ove or plug the relief valve.

One way to reduce the frequency of this occurrence is to maintain an air pocket at the top of the water heater tank. This air pocket will form in the tank by design.

However, it will be reduced over time by the everyday use of your water heater.

To replenish this air pocket:

1.

Turn off water heater.

2.

Turn off cold water supply line.

3.

Open a faucet in the RV.

4.

Pull out on the handle of the Pressure Relief (P & T) Valve and allow water to flow from the valve until it stops.

5.

Release handle on P & T Valve - it should snap closed.

6.

Close faucet and turn on cold water supply; as the tank fills, the air pocket will develop.

Repeat this procedure as often as needed to reduce the frequency of the weeping of the P & T Valve. If the weeping persists after following this procedure, you m ay elect to install an expansion or accumulator tank in the cold water line between the tank and check valve to relieve the pressure caused by therm al expansion.

Contact your local dealer for assistance.

To activate elem ent, the water tem perature must be below 110 F, push reset button to re-activate the electric elem ent.

DRAINING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

If RV is to be stored during winter m onths, the water heater m ust be drained to prevent dam age from freezing.

1.

Turn off electrical power to water heater either at the switch from the electrical elem ent or at breaker.

2.

Shut off gas supply to water heater.

3.

Turn off pressure pum p on water system .

4.

Open both hot and cold water faucets.

5.

Remove anode rod from tank.

6.

Follow RV manufacturer’s instructions for draining entire water system .

NOTE: Be certain to refill water heater with water and rem ove all air from tank and lines before re-lighting or before turning on electrical power.

ODOR FROM HOT WATER SYSTEM

Odor from the hot water system is not a service problem and many water supplies contain sufficient am ounts of sulphur to produce an odor. The odor is sim ilar to rotten eggs and is often referred to as "sulphur water". It is not harm ful - only unpleasant to smell. Sulphur water can be caused by a chem ical action or by bacteria. The solution to elim inate is chlorination of the water system . Add about six (6) ounces of chlorinated com m on household liquid bleach to each 10 gallons in the water tank. Then run the chlorinated water throughout the system ,

SUBURBAN WATER HEATER opening each faucet one at a tim e until you sm ell the chlorine. Let the RV sit for a few days and the chlorine should take care of the problem . Then you will need to take care of the chlorine. Rem ove the chlorine by flushing the system with fresh water. This m ay take several attem pts. You may consider adding a filtering system that rem oves chlorine and prevents sulphur water. If the sulphur or rotten egg smell continues, flush the system once again as described above and replace anode rod as necessary.

REMOVING WATER HEATER

1.

Shut off gas supply and disconnect gas supply line from water heater.

2.

On all Electric Models, disconnect 120 V.A.C. supply at junction box m ounted on heater.

WINTERIZING

If your water heater plum bing system is equipped with a bypass kit, use it to close off the water heater, drain the water heater com pletely and leave the water heater closed off (out of the system ) in the bypass position particularly if you are introducing antifreeze into the plum bing system . Antifreeze can be very corrosive to the anode rod creating prem ature failure and heavy sedim ent in the tank. If the plum bing system is not equipped with a bypass kit, and you intend to winterize by adding antifreeze to the system , rem ove the anode rod

(storing it for the winter) and replace it with a 3/4" drain plug.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your TV from being damaged, the following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your TV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your TV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your TV.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.

A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.

The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

 

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.

• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your TV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your

TV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.

• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may compromise the integrity of the TV. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your

TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your TV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.

• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms.

• Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect your TV from damage due to power surges.

• Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not expose your TV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your TV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use your TV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your TV yourself.

• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your TV is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your TV may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity.

Operating your TV in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your TV.

• To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

• When unplugging your TV,grab the head of the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your TV will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

• Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:

- The power cord fails or frays.

- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your TV.

- Your TV is exposed to rain or other moisture.

- Your TV is dropped or damaged in any way.

- The performance of your TV changes substantially.

• This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

• CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.

• WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued exposure to  loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.

• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed or knocked over.

• Do not allow children to hang onto the product.

• Store the accessories (remote, batteries, etc.) in a location safely out of the reach of children.

• The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television viewing for children younger than two years of age.

• WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.

• Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and the supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

• If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

• WARNING : To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions. iii

TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION PROTECTION

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.

WALL-MOUNTING THE TV

To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult the information on this page to find the appropriate mount for your TV.

Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the weight of the TV.

After you have determined that you have the correct mount for your TV, you can begin the installation.

To install your TV on a wall:

1. Disconnect any cables connected to your TV.

2. Place the TV face-down on a clean, flat, stable surface. Be sure the surface is clear of debris that can scratch or damage the TV.

3. If attached, remove the stands by loosening and removing the screws.

4. Attach your TV and wall mount to the wall, carefully following the instructions that came with your mount. Use only with a UL-listed wall mount bracket rated for the weight/load of this TV.

Installing a TV on a wall requires lifting. To prevent injury or damage to the TV, ask someone to help you.

Note: The image shown here is for illustrative purposes only and may be subject to change.

VIZIO service center. You may be required to supply a purchase receipt

(or copy) to show that the product is within the warranty period. When you return a product to a VIZIO service center, you must ship the product in its original packaging or in packaging that affords an equal degree of protection.

Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver

UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS

COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY

OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING

ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT’S

SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING

ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION

ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED

BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH

ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY

PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the

Federal Arbitration Act will apply.

The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.

The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence

(if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited

53

D to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal

Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Except as may be required by law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and VIZIO.

ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE,

WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU

AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY

DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY

GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER

PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.

NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED,

OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING

WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH

ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.

Exceptions to Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify

VIZIO in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to VIZIO at 39 Tesla,

Irvine, CA 92618, Attn: Legal Department; and (3) your written notification must include (a) your name, (b) your address, (c) the date you purchased the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver.
