smouldering. Extinguish the lighter, or put out the
match and place it into a dish of water.
• Turn the detector on its side so that the vents on
the right hand side of the detector are pointing
downwards. Hold the burning incense stick or
cigarette around 15cm (6 inches) below the detector.
An increase in the localised carbon monoxide level
within the sensor to more than 50ppm (Parts Per
Million, the accepted level of carbon monoxide in the
air) this will cause the sounder to sound for one cycle
of four loud beeps. The power LED will no longer
ash green every second but will revert to ashing
once a minute. The detector will revert back to the
ordinary operating mode (it may take up to two
minutes for the localised level of carbon monoxide
to reach below 50ppm.) Now move the source of CO
away from the detector as the test is nished.
• After step 4, put out the incense stick or cigarette
by placing it into a dish of water. Ensure all ames
have been extinguished.
Note: If the localised carbon monoxide level
within the sensor does not reach 50ppm during
the test, the sensor test will stop automatically
after 3 minutes.
Understanding your product’s indicators
The higher the concentration of carbon monoxide
detected by the detector, the quicker it will respond.
When sufcient carbon monoxide is detected a loud
audible signal (85 dB at 1m/3 ft) will be emitted and the
Alarm LED will ash red once every second.
The Alarm will sound:
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed to
50ppm of CO
• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed to
100ppm of CO
• Within 3 minutes when exposed to 300ppm or more
CO
• There will be an audible ‘chirp’ if the battery, sensor
or circuitry has any fault including a low battery.
This sound will continue once a minute for 30 days.
(The battery must be replaced to ensure occupant
safety.)
• If the device continues to chirp despite having new
batteries and the product is still in warranty then
contact technical support for the device. If the
device is no longer in warranty replace it immediately
Maintaining/ testing your detector
Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potential hazardous
CO concentrations in your caravan when maintained
properly. To maintain your FireAngel detector in proper
working order and to ensure that the sensors will last for
the lifetime of the product, it is recommended that you:
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry of your
detector once per week by pressing and holding the
Test/Reset button for 1 second.
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently vacuuming
with a soft brush attachment when required.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating the sensor in
your detector and thus affecting its reliability:
• Never use cleaning solutions on your detector.
Simply wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not paint the detector
• Do not spray aerosols on or near to the detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products near to the
detector
Failure of any test should be reported to the
manufacturers technical support line.
[phone]
Do not attempt to repair your CO Detector.
Do not remove any screws or open the main
casing of your detector. Any attempt to do so may cause
malfunction and will invalidate the warranty.
Never ignore any alarm.
What to do in the event of an alarm
• Keep calm and open all the doors and windows to
ventilate your caravan
• Stop using all fuel burning appliance and ensure
where possible they are turned off
• Evacuate the caravan leaving doors and windows
open
• Do not re enter the caravan until the alarm has
stopped.
• Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects
of CO poisoning and advise that CO poisoning is
suspected.
• Do not use the caravan again until you have had a full
service of all appliances by your supplying retailer.
In the case of gas appliances they must be tested by
a GAS SAFE registered installer. Please contact your
Bailey Retailer for more details.
The electro-chemical sensors used in the carbon-
monoxide alarm have a limited lifespan- therefore it
is recommended that a CO alarm is replaced every
5-7 years after manufacture or in accordance with the
unit’s instructions, check the manufacturing date on the
alarms label.
