Annual service /
inspection record
In order to comply with the warranty, you must
have your motorhome inspected and serviced
in accordance with the warranty.
We highly recommend that you have your
Motorhome serviced by a Swift Group
Approved Service Centre who have direct
access to our online Customer Service
system, Connect. This system provides them
with the ability to order approved parts and
ensure that any product upgrades which
may be available for your Motorhome can
be offered to you and carried out as part of
the service. In the unfortunate event that an
issue requires attention under warranty then
a Swift Group Approved Service Centre are
able to submit a warranty claim to the Swift
Group for processing, and deal with the issue
for you from start to finish. All of our Swift
Group Approved Service Centres are provided
with up to date technical information and
have access to current repair methods giving
you peace of mind that any defect has been
repaired effectively.
It is important that the owner’s handbook
is stamped on the appropriate page by the
authorised Swift Group Service Centre.
Failure to do this will invalidate the warranty
and the transfer of the warranty on the change
of ownership.
The inspection should take approximately two
hours and will cover the areas dealt with in the
annual service check list. Any areas requiring
service and/or maintenance will be highlighted
by your dealer and we recommend that you
authorise any necessary work to be carried
out.
Just as the engine/gearbox/roadwheels need
regular servicing by your chassis dealer, so
there are components in your conversion
that need regular maintenance by your
motorhome dealer.
These include the gas and electrical systems
and the seals in the bodywork. Your dealer will
complete the record in this handbook to show
that the work has been carried out.
1. Damp and lamination test.
2. Chassis and chassis to body security.
3. Motorhome step.
4. Road lights, wiring and reflectors.
5. Internal lights and 12V DC system.

current driving licence may drive on the site.
Park correctly as advised on your pitch. Where
possible leave 20 feet of free space around
your vehicle.
Use of Site Appliances
Use the electrical mains hook-up in the correct
manner and with caution.
Ensure that all fresh water taps/connections
are turned off after use. Have care and
consideration when using all facilities (toilets
and showers etc) and leave clean and tidy.
Young children should be supervised.
Waste Disposal
If the vehicle is not fitted with a waste water
tank, a suitable receptacle should be placed
below all waste water outlet pipes. Do not let
these containers overflow.
Dispose of all waste water where instructed.
Empty effluent from chemical toilets where
instructed. To avoid possible damage to
sewage purification works, only approved
chemical fluids must be used. Under no
circumstances should coal tar, phenol or
caustic-based fluids be used.
Disposable nappies and similar bulky items
must not be put into chemical closet emptying
points but should be wrapped in a polythene
bag and placed in the container provided.
Place all litter in containers marked for the
purpose.
Noise
Do not make excessive noise. Children should
be restrained from making excessive noise.
Flying kites and model aircraft and the use of
items like catapults or air-guns, as well as ball
games, should not be permitted among, or
close to other vehicles.
Musical instruments, record players, radios
and televisions should not be used to the
inconvenience of other people on the site.
Open and close doors quietly. Power

Fire Precautions
Adhere to and take note of fire precautions
noting the whereabouts of the fire points.
! WARNING: Provide one dry powder

complying with EN3-7, of at least 1kg
capacity, by the main exterior door and a
fire blanket next to the cooker. Familiarise
yourself with the operating instructions
on your fire extinguisher and the local fire
precaution arrangements.
When using a dry powder extinguisher it is
suggested that the motorhome be evacuated
until the powder has settled, to avoid
inhalation.
Unless permission has been granted,
barbecues should not be used.
If permission is given, consideration should be
given to the annoyance that can be caused to
other users of the site.
Open fires are not allowed.
Awnings and Tents
Awnings and tents should only be used when
permission has been obtained.
When on grass and staying for more than a
few days, the ground sheet and/or side flaps

Departure
Leave the pitch clean and tidy.
On leaving, check out with reception paying
the required fees.
Wild Camping
Camping away from licensed sites, without the
permission from the land owner or his agents,
is not allowed in the United Kingdom.
When permission has been granted, all
aspects of this Code should be adhered to.
On no account should:
a. Litter be disposed of other than in the
receptacles provided.
b. Water be allowed to escape from the
vehicle.
c. Chemical toilets be emptied except into the
disposal places agreed with the land owner.
d. Washing or similar be hung outside the
vehicle.
Parking
Motorhomes should only be parked in
approved places.
When using the facilities of a motorhome, care
and consideration should be given to those
around them.
Driving
Before moving off, elevated rooflights and
aerials should be lowered and correctly
secured, and top hinged windows closed.
Likewise all doors and access lockers for
gas containers and chemical toilets must be
properly secured.
Exterior steps should be properly retracted
and secured. When the vehicle is in motion
it is compulsory for all front seat passengers
and rear seat passengers to wear seat belts,
where fitted. When using a motorhome on
either the public highway or private roads the
Highway Code should be complied with and
full consideration given to other road users.
In the event of a motorhome travelling
slowly the driver of the motorhome should,
where possible, pull over in order to let other
traffic pass.
! WARNING: When travelling, refuelling
or on a ferry ensure the gas system is fully
isolated at source.
Handbooks (Chassis & Converter)
Before using a motorhome all aspects of
the handbooks, produced by the chassis
manufacturer and the converter, must be read
and adhered to.
The separate chassis manufacturer handbook
refers to your motorhome chassis and base
vehicle including care and maintenance.
Environment
Care and consideration should be taken to
protect the environment.
Observe the Country and Coastal Codes
shown overleaf.
The country code
Enjoy the countryside but respect its life
and work. More people than ever before
are exploring the countryside, interested
in farming, plant life, bird watching or just
observing the general wildlife. Whatever your
interest, there is a lot to learn, but please
observe the following code:
1. Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and
heathland catch alight easily and once
ablaze are very difficult to put out.
Remember: fire spreads quickly.
2. Fasten all gates.
3. Keep your dog under proper control.
4. Keep to the paths across farm land.
5. Avoid damaging fences, hedges and walls.
6. Leave no litter.
7. Safeguard water supplies.
8. Protect wildlife, wild plants and trees.
9. Go carefully on country roads.
10. Respect the life of the countryside.
T H E M O T O R H O M E C O D E

T H E C O A S TAL CODE
The coastal code
As our coastlines are increasingly used
for recreation and education, the following
suggestions are made to enable us to
enjoy our inheritance and preserve it
for posterity.
DO NOT trample about, or move rocks
unnecessarily.
DO NOT frighten seals or seabirds.
DO NOT spill detergents, solvents or fuel from
boats as these can kill marine life.
Live molluscs and crustaceans need not
be collected as souvenirs - dead shells can
usually be found.
Shellfish can take years to grow and fines
can be imposed for not observing national
regulations.
DO NOT pull up seaweeds unnecessarily.
Make your visit instructive - not destructive.
Look at material - don’t remove it. Take notes
and photographs, not specimens.
Observe by-laws and be considerate to others.
National Trust property and Country Parks
have regulations to protect the wildlife. Follow
these and the Country and Coastal Codes.

Motorhome terms
Mass in running order
The mass of the motorhome equipped to
the motorhome manufacturers standard
specification, as stated by the manufacturer.
The MRO comprises the ex-works weight of
the motorhome, including the driver, 90% fuel
capacity, 1 x LPG gas cylinder @10kg and
standard fixtures & fittings in compliance with
European Regulation No. 1230/2012 (Masses
& Dimensions)
Note: The mass of the motorhome in
running order contains provision for the
masses of liquids, gas etc. (see Mass in
Running Order in the Technical Section).
Part of this provision can also be utilised as
additional payload, if for example, you wish
to travel with no gas cylinders.
Note: If you travel with water in the fresh
water tank or waste tank, the payload will be
reduced accordingly.
Note: Quoted MRO is subject to tolerance,
due to weight variation of materials used in
Motorhome construction.
Maximum User Payload:
The maximum allowable weight to be put into
the motorhome whilst it is being driven. This
is made up of 4 sections: Personal effects,
conventional load, optional equipment and
essential habitation equipment.
The Maximum User Payload is the difference
between the Maximum Technically Permissible
Laden Mass and the Mass in Running Order.
Personal Effects:
Those items which a user can choose to carry
in a motorhome and which are not included
as Essential Habitation Equipment or Optional
equipment.
Conventional Load:
A mass allowance for each designated
passenger seat.
P R E PA R I N G F O R T HE R O A D
19
LO A D I N G O F V E HICLE
Optional Equipment:
Items made available by the manufacturer over
and above the standard specification of the
motorhome.
Essential Habitation:
A mass allowance for liquids in systems not
accounted for within the MRO.
Maximum Technically Permissible
Laden Mass:
The maximum weight for which the
motorhome is designed for normal use when
being driven on a road, laden. This mass takes
into account specific operating conditions
including factors such as the strength of
materials, loading capacity of tyres etc.
! WARNING: Under no circumstances
should the Maximum Technically
Permissible Laden Mass of this motorhome
be exceeded.
Nose weight on towed trailers:
The static mass of the trailer towing device on
the rear of the towing vehicle.
When measuring the noseweight it is important
that the trailer is loaded.
The trailer is intended to be towed slightly
nose heavy. The nose weight can be adjusted
by distribution of the load. The nose weight
should be approximately 7% of the actual
laden weight (but not greater than the hitch
capacity) and at the same time suit the
motorhome requirements. See ‘Advice on
Towing’ page 22.
Loading of vehicle
! WARNING: Loads must not be
exceeded. The driver is responsible for
arranging the loads so that they comply with
the technical weight limits of the specific
motorhome model.
See specification handbook.
Correct weight distribution is an important
factor in ensuring your vehicle is well balanced
and easy to drive. It is therefore necessary to
load your motorhome carefully making sure all
heavy articles are evenly distributed and are
preferably placed in the lower lockers or bed
boxes.
! WARNING: Do not travel with televisions
or microwaves in overhead lockers unless
the appliance was supplied fitted to your
motorhome by the manufacturer.
Although it is essential to ensure that the
total weight of your motorhome does not
exceed the stipulated Maximum Technically
Permissible Laden Mass, (MTPLM), it is
important to remember that the front and rear
axles also have individual maximum weights
which must not be exceeded.
To ensure adequate road holding the load
on the front axle, under all conditions,
must not be less than 40% or more than
70% of the total weight.
Ensure you distribute the payload equally on
each side of the vehicle to avoid an imbalance.

These weights, together with the MTPLM, can
be found on the statutory plate affixed to the
forward edge side sliding door.
! WARNING: Turn off all gas appliances
while the vehicle is in motion. If a heating
system is fitted isolate all appliances except
the heater.
! WARNING: Please take care to
ensure you have allowed for the masses
of all the items you intend to carry in your
motorhome e.g. passengers, optional
equipment, essential habitational equipment
and personal effects such as clothing,
food, pets, bicycles, sailboards and sports
equipment etc.
Large storage areas
The large storage areas provided in some
motorhome layouts are designed solely for
the purpose of carrying personal possessions,
these areas must not be used:
• As a habitation area (eg living, sleeping or
cooking).
• To carry passengers, animals or livestock.
• For the installation (or use) of any LPG gas
operated appliances (unless supplied fitted
by the manufacturer).
• For carrying LPG gas cylinders.
• To carry any flammable liquids, unless
properly stored, sealed and secured.
• For the operation of an electrical generator.
• In such a way that the load exceeds the
MTPLM, and/or minimum and maximum
axle loads.
Care must be taken to ensure that exterior
doors are closed, locked and that all
possessions are properly stored and secured
before setting off on any journey.
! WARNING: Motorhomes over 3m have a
maximum vehicle height label affixed to the
driver's side blind. When planning your route
take the vehicle height into consideration.
Tyres
If a wheel or tyre is changed any
replacement must be of the same type
of construction and size.
The law requires that the tyres and pressures
must be suitable for the use to which they
are being put. The minimum tread depth
must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous
band comprising the centre three-quarters
of the breadth of the tread and around the
circumference of the tyre.
Please refer to base vehicle manufacturer’s
handbook for tyre pressure information.
This may also be displayed in the driver’s or
passenger's door aperture.
The motorhome tyre pressure noted in the
Technical book are the pressures stated by
Fiat for your vehicle calculated in a fully laden
condition. If you are not running fully laden,
reduced pressures could be used but please
seek clarification from the tyre manufacturer.
Dedicated travelling passenger
seating
Seat belts are fitted to all travelling seats.
Travelling seats are
designated by the
manufacturer and vary
according to the layout
you have purchased. Each
seat is homologated i.e.
tested to all relevant safety
requirements. NEVER
travel in or attempt to
install a seatbelt to a non-designated seat.
! WARNING: Side facing seats are
designed for habitational use only, not for
when the vehicle is in motion.

where possible, immediately above or close
to the axle(s). Where the load can be divided
between trailer and tow vehicle, loading
more weight into the vehicle will generally
improve the stability of the combination.
After loading the trailer, check that the nose
weight and axle loads are in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations,
also check the rear and front axle loads on
the motorhome. When calculating the laden
weight of the trailer, remember to include the
weight of the trailer PLUS THE LOAD.
Note: Towing regulations vary from country
to country. It is very important to ensure
that national regulations governing towing
weights and speed limits are observed
(refer to the relevant national motoring
organisation for information). The stated
maximum permissible towing weights refer
to the vehicle’s design limitations and NOT
to any specific territorial restrictions.
Notes:
1. Do not exceed the motorhome gross vehicle
train weight.
2. Do not exceed the maximum front & rear
axle loads on the motorhome.
3. Ensure the motorhome front axle load is
never less than 40% or more than 70% of
the total weight.
4. Motorhomes with an MTPLM up to 3500kg
which have European Type approval can
only be fitted with a type approved towbar
complying to 94/20/EC or UN ECE R55.
5. The limit for towing an un-braked trailer
is 750kg (based on VIN plate not actual
weight), this applies to a towed car.
6. A car dolly with a car with a GVW over
750kg in place is considered as two
trailers, these are legal for use for recovery
but under the Road Traffic Regulations
Act 1984 the combination is limited to 40
mph on motorways and dual carriageways
and 20 mph elsewhere. A car dolly is not
legal for transportation (there is a very
specific difference between recovery and
transportation. Recovery is defined as the
removal of a broken down vehicle to a place
of safety).
7. The maximum permitted vehicle combination
length is 18.75m, however any combination
must ensure compliance with the turning
circle requirements of Construction and Use
regulations 1986 & 97/27/EC.
Note: Not all motorhomes are suitable for
towing and may not have sufficient payload to
permit towing. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
European Touring
Please note there are a number of
requirements placed on a driver when driving
on European roads. Carrying a warning
triangle, high visibility jacket, first aid kit
and spare bulb is now compulsory in many
EU states but some EU countries are now
introducing further regulations such as carrying
a breathalyser kit and not being able to use
satellite navigation systems with speed camera
warnings.
We would advise customers to check on the
many web-sites available to ensure you are
carrying the correct equipment when touring in
those EU countries.

F I R E A L A R M
Note: The test button accurately tests
the alarm’s smoke sensing circuit, there is
no need to test your alarm with smoke. If
your smoke alarm fails to give an audible
test signal, please refer immediately to the
troubleshooting guide at the end of the user
manual supplied.
! WARNING: Test your smoke alarm at
least once per week
Your smoke alarm has been designed to be as
maintenance - free as possible and although
the unit requires only battery maintenance for
its entire life, there are several things you must
do to keep it working properly.
! WARNING: Your smoke alarm is a
sealed electrical device and no attempt
should be made to open the case.
Attempting to open the case will invalidate
your Warranty.
Cleaning
As a minimum your smoke alarm should be
cleaned once every 3 months using your
vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush
attachment.
! WARNING: Your smoke alarm may
false alarm when it is being cleaned using a
vacuum cleaner.
! WARNING: Do not use solvents or
cleaners on your smoke alarm, as they may
cause damage to the sensor or circuitry. The
unit can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth.
! WARNING: The electronic test button
provides a full test of the unit’s functionality.
DO NOT try to test the alarm with a naked
flame, as this may present a potential fire
hazard.
! WARNING: Never use portable cooking
or heating equipment other than electric
heaters that are not of the direct radiant
type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation hazard.
! WARNING: Appliances such as cookers
must not be used for heating.
Fire Extinguisher
It is recommended that a dry powder fire
extinguisher be carried inside your motorhome
at all times.
When using a dry powder extinguisher it is
suggested that the motorhome be evacuated
until the powder has settled, to avoid
inhalation.
A fat pan fire should not have a fire
extinguisher aimed at it. It should be
smothered with a fire blanket.
! WARNING: Provide one dry powder
fire extinguisher of an approved type or
complying with EN3-7 or ISO 7165, of at
least 1kg capacity, by the main exterior door
and a fire blanket next to the cooker.
Familiarise yourself with the instructions
on your fire extinguisher and the local fire
precaution arrangements.
Escape paths
It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions
or hazards.
Children
Do not leave children alone in the motorhome
in any event. Keep potentially dangerous items
out of reach, as at home e.g. matches and
drugs etc.
S A F E T Y & S E C UR I T Y
35
V E N T I L AT I O N A N D S E CURIT Y
Ventilation
All motorhomes comply with BS EN 721. The
ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed
points of ventilation which are required by the
European Standards.
All motorhomes have ventilation at high level
and low level which have been calculated to
suit the individual needs of your motorhome.
High level ventilation is achieved by means of
the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators
(where applicable). The low level ventilators
are positioned in the front fascias of furniture in
van conversions.
Under no circumstances must these vents be
blocked or obstructed in any manner as this
could lead to insufficient fresh air. In this case
the confined atmosphere becomes depleted of
oxygen which could lead to dangerous levels
of carbon dioxide (CO2) build up, leading up to
the risk of asphyxiation.
The risk of carbon (CO) build up, which is
a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas,
will also be reduce with ventilation. Carbon
monoxide is produced from incomplete
combustion and should the CO detector
be activated the cause of the incomplete
combustion must be investigated prior to
reusing the appliance in question.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points
are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on
a regular basis using a small brush and a
domestic vacuum cleaner.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained
by releasing the window catches and placing
them in the second groove. Note the windows
are not sealed from rain in this position.
As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each model requirements, no modifications
should be made which may result in reduced
ventilation levels.
! WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation.
Security
Motorhome Theft:
The theft of a motorhome can occur in
the most unlikely circumstances; from a
motorway service area or even an owner's
driveway. Secure all windows and doors
when your motorhome is unoccupied even if
only for a short length of time.
VIN
(Vehicle identification Number)
Record your motorhome VIN which can be
found on the lower edge of the base vehicle
front windscreen and the plate located on the
front cross member under the bonnet.
Make a note of these numbers in the space
provided at the front of this handbook and
make a separate note of the numbers to keep
safe at home.
Additional security
Consider fitting any device which might deter
intrusion by thieves. Customers are advised
to identify their motorhome with a method
for subsequent identification if other forms of
identification have been altered or removed.
Free crime prevention advice about securing
your motorhome, protecting your valuables,
property marking either at home or whilst
on site, can be obtained from the Crime
Prevention Officer through your local Police
station.
Swift Command Tracker

The subscription cost is £95 per year
including VAT.
For more information please visit
www.swiftcommand.co.uk
Operation
The Swift Command Tracker is easy to
operate as it is controlled by the vehicle
systems.
In a caravan the tracker is armed when the
Stinger 310 / 350 Alarm System is armed. It is
disarmed when the alarm is disarmed.
If the caravan doesn’t have an alarm system
fitted, a simple numeric keypad is used to arm
/ disarm the tracker. Enter your code followed
by the ON button to arm the tracker.
Enter your code followed by the OFF button to
disarm the tracker.
In a motorhome the tracker is armed /
disarmed by the ignition key.
When the ignition is turned off the tracker is
armed. When the ignition is turned on the
tracker is disarmed.
Event of a Theft
If the vehicle is moved whilst the tracker is
armed the geo-fence monitoring will trigger a
theft event.
In addition to the above, in a caravan with the
Stinger 310 / 350 Alarm System fitted, if the
alarm is triggered by internal movement or
caravan tilting the alarm monitoring will also
trigger a theft event.
The monitoring station will now contact you
to confirm the theft or false alarm. You will be
required to confirm your identity against the
information you provided when you
subscribed.
If a genuine theft is confirmed the monitoring
station will liaise with the police and keep you
informed of progress.
Note; during a theft event to comply with
legislation you will not be able to manually
locate your vehicle using the Swift Command
locate feature.

will illuminate red indicating that the sounder
is working and the power pack is providing
power to the unit. You'll notice that the display
will switch to temperature mode, this is ex-
plained later in the manual, press button again
to return to the CO display. This test for the
sounder, power pack and circuitry should be
performed on a weekly basis. This should be
continued for the lifetime of the product.
! WARNING: Prolonged exposure to the
sounder in close proximity to your ears may
damage your hearing.
Under normal operating conditions, the power
pack will last for the lifetime of the product i.e 7
years. The detector will not protect against the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
power pack has drained.
! WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
extreme high or low temperatures may
reduce the life of the power pack.
Power Pack Deactivation
Your CO-9D is portable making it ideal for
taking with you on holiday. You will need to
deactivate your detector when traveling or
even when storing e.g when decorating.
Fitting is reverse of removal. To deactivate the
detector the two ends of the metal clip must
be inserted into the corresponding holes in the
disabling socket located on the underside of
the detector (see image). You can ensure that
the product is disabled by pressing the test
button- If there is no sound from the sounder
then the clip has been fitted correctly.
Note: If the disabling tab is no longer
available then the clip can be replicated by
opening out a thin metal paper clip into a
U-shape.
Operating Features
Standby Mode
The alarm can display two views when in
normal standby mode, the current level of CO
or the current room temperature in degrees
centigrade (ºC). When the alarm is showing the
current CO Level you will see something similar
to the following.
FireAngel's unique digital read out displays
the amount of CO that the sensor is detecting
shown in parts per million (PPM). It is designed
to indicate levels from 10PPM to 999PPM.
Note: Ambient background levels between
0PPM and 10PPM will show as 0PPM
When the alarm is showing the current
temperature you will see something similar to
the following.
In both modes you will notice a symbol
appear briefly in the top left hand corner of the
screen once every minute. This is an additional
indication to show you that the alarm is
operating as well as the flashing green LED.
To switch between CO and temperature view,
simply press the Test/Mode button briefly. The
unit will also sound when pressing the button
to switch between the two display modes.
You will also notice that when switching
between modes the display will change

slightly, this is because the alarm is displaying
the Peak Level CO reading that it has recorded
in the last 4 weeks, please see the following
peak level reading feature section for further
description.
Note: If the alarm is in temperature view and
detects CO it will automatically switch back
to CO display mode.
Power pack, sounder and circuitary test
Pressing the Test/Mode button will also test
the power pack, sounder and circuitry of
the alarm. The unit will sound and the alarm
LED below will illuminate red. You should
perform this test once per week.
Peak Level Reading feature.
The alarm will record the highest reading of
CO that it has detected in the last 4 weeks.
This information is useful if your alarm has
sounded so you can see the highest level of
CO detected during that time. It is also useful
to check periodically to see if a readable level
of CO has been detected for a short time, but
not long enough to trigger a full alarm. The
peak level reading is shown briefly every time
you press the Test/Mode button and will look
something like the image below.
Note: It is possible and quite normal for the
peak level to remain at 0ppm, i.e. this simply
means that the alarm has not detected any
CO in the last 4 weeks.
The Peak Level reading will be reset to 0ppm
whenever a Sensor Test is carried out. (See the
next section for Sensor Test).
Sensor Testing
! CAUTION: Sensor testing should only
be performed by a responsible adult.
This test should only be performed once a
month. Excessive testing will shorten the life
of the power pack.
Note: We suggest the use of an incense
stick or cigarette as the way in which
these products burn produces a readable
localised amount of CO. A readable level
of carbon monoxide will not be given off
by other sources of smoke, for example an
extinguished candle or match.
Step 1: If the alarm is wall mounted unhook it
from the fixing screws.
Step 2: Hold the Test/Mode button down
until the spanner icon appears in the bottom
left hand corner of the screen and the bar
graph ‘scans’ from left to right. This indicates
the alarm is in sensor test mode where the
sampling rate of the sensor has increased and
the alarm can be tested using a known source
of CO.
Step 3: Light an incense stick or cigarette
using a match or lighter. Extinguish the
lighter, or put out the match and place it into
a dish of water.
Step 4: Hold the incense stick or burning
cigarette 15cm (6 inches) below the
detector, so that the smoke goes into the
S A F E T Y & S E C UR I T Y
40
C O A L A R M
holes at the bottom of the detector. As the
smoke gets into the alarm the display will
show the amount of CO being detected.
When the level of CO in the sensor reaches
50ppm the alarm will sound a single alarm
cycle, this confirms that the sensor is working
correctly and is the end of the sensor test.
The alarm will return to normal standby
mode.
Step 5: Put out the incense stick or cigarette
by placing it into a dish of water. Ensure that
all flames have been extinguished.
Note: If the level of CO in the sensor doesn’t
reach 50ppm then the Sensor Test mode
will time out and finish automatically after
3 minutes. Even if the level doesn’t reach
50ppm, as long as the display shows a
reading of CO then you can be confident
that the alarm is working correctly. If you
have any questions about testing the sensor
please contact the FireAngel technical
support team
Understanding the Product's
Indicators
Digital Display
The LCD screen has many icons with one or
more being shown at any one time.
Bar Graph to show early build up of CO.
To understand the role of the product
indicators please refer to section ‘Carbon
Monoxide and how it can affect your family’
on page 3 of the CO-9D User Manual. The
alarm has a bar graph which mimics the way
CO levels build up in the blood stream. The
response times of the alarm are determined by
the European Standard BS EN 50291:2001
so the alarm will only sound when it has
detected CO for a prescribed length of time,
the higher the level of CO the quicker the
alarm must sound. However with FireAngel’s
CO-9D there is an early visual warning that
CO is present. When CO is first detected the
alarm indicates it’s presence by displaying the
level on the screen in parts per million (ppm).
If CO continues to be present additional bars
will appear on the graph. When the graph
is full (i.e. the 6th segment is shown the unit
will sound a loud audible alarm (85 dB at 1m
(3 feet)) and the Alarm LED below the
symbol on the front of the detector will flash
red once every second.
The Alarm will sound
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed
to a minimum of 50ppm of CO.
• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed
to a minimum of 100ppm of CO.
• Within 3 minutes when exposed to a
minimum of 300ppm of CO.
Alarm silence
It is possible to temporarily silence the
alarm up to two times if the level of CO that
triggered the alarm is less than 200ppm. After
ventilating the property you can temporarily
silence the alarm by pressing the Test/Mode
button, the alarm will stop and the silence
mode symbol will appear on the screen. The
silence mode will last for up to 3 minutes. If the
CO level remains too high the alarm will trigger
again or if the level of CO rises above 200ppm
then the detector will automatically re-enter
alarm mode. If the level of CO has fallen to a
satisfactory level the silence mode icon will
disappear, the unit will exit alarm mode and
the segments of the bar graph will slowly
disappear as the CO in the sensor clears.

Alarm in absence:
If the Peak level reading symbol is
showing on the screen but there is no full
alarm sound and you are not pressing the
test button, then your detector is warning
that it has detected Carbon Monoxide in your
absence. Immediately vacate the premises and
seek medical attention for anyone suffering the
effects of CO poisoning (headache, nausea).
Treat this as a serious warning. Call a qualified
technician and have the problem investigated
and rectified immediately.
Error signal
The unit continuously checks the set-
tings of its sensor and circuitry. If any of these
settings
are found to be incorrect, the detector will emit
a once per minute and the display single chirp
will show “Err” for error and an error code,cy-
cling between “Err”and the particular
error code.
Low power pack signal
If the power pack becomes low then the de-
tector will emit a single chirp once per minute
and the low power pack icon will flash on the
screen.
! IMPORTANT: A single chirp once per
minute together with an error signal 14 or
low power pack warning does NOT mean
that the detector has detected carbon
monoxide.
If you experience an error condition or low
power pack warning and the product is still
within warranty then contact FireAngel
technical support.
If the product is no longer in warranty replace
immediately!
! IMPORTANT: The selected power pack
was chosen to provide power beyond the
lifetime of the product, in particular the
sensor (under normal operating conditions).
The operational life of the sensor is seven
years, for this reason, the detector should
be replaced after seven years from the date
of installation.

Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your
motorhome when maintained properly. To
maintain your FireAngel detector in proper
working order, and to ensure that the sensor
will last for the lifetime of the product, it is
recommended that you:
• Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry
of your detector at least once per week by
pressing the Test/Reset button briefly (see
above).
• Perform the Sensor Test once every month
(See p36).
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming the case with a soft brush
attachment once per month.
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 slightly damp
cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the
detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products near
the detector.
• Move the detector to a safe location and
store in a plastic bag before painting, wall
papering, or performing any other activities

Separate Water Containers
1. All water remaining in the container
should be disposed of so that the container
is empty.
2. The outside of the container should be
thoroughly cleansed and washed down to
remove any dirt, dust or other contaminant.
Water at a suitably hot temperature
containing an appropriate detergent is
recommended for this purpose.
3. Water should be put in the container,
swirled around, then emptied out.
4. The container should then be totally filled
with water containing an appropriate
sterilant solution and allowed to stand for
the recommended contact time
5. The solution should be emptied from
the container.
6. The opening of the container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
prepared wipe impregnated with
a sterilant.
7. The container should be inverted whilst
stored overnight (if possible).
8. The container must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should be
used for the above cleaning procedure.
9. On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
For Systems:
1. Drain down the system (open all taps to
allow air in, enabling the system to
drain quickly).
2. Remove any water filters fitted, and replace
with a short length of hose or empty
filter cartridge (this will ensure the filter is
not affected by the disinfectant/ sterilant
solution).
3. Fill the water system with a disinfectant/
sterilant solution (check that the solution at
full strength appears at all taps/showers). A
suitable container (not supplied) should be
used to collect this waste water for disposal.
Allow to stand for the recommended period
of time.
4. Drain the system completely.
5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/
connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant/sterilant.
6. Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of disinfectant/
sterilant can be detected at any tap.
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available
from your motorhome dealer, accessory
shop, chemist or home-brew shops. It is not,
however, recommended to use bleach or
sodium metabisulphite.
Do not use products containing aggressive
agents for sterilising the water system.
Always use products designed for use within
stainless steel tanks available from your
motorhome dealer.
Note: Never use the water heating system
when disinfectant /sterilising fluid is present.
Doing so may damage the system.
Waste water system (without fitted tanks)
When the motorhome does not have fitted
tanks, waste water will exit directly from the
outlets on the off side (drivers side) of the
motorhome, at skirt level.
Waste water system (with on board tanks)
1. The waste water holding tank is secured
underneath the chassis of your motorhome
and is gravity fed.
2. In order to eliminate unpleasant odours as
much as possible, only smooth bore pipes
are used.
However, should the waste water tank be
overfilled, it is possible the waste water will
backfill the drain pipes until it eventually
appears in the shower base. In order to
prevent this, please take note of part 3.
3. The waste water gauge shows the level of
the tank in quarter or half increments, it is
therefore, recommended that the waste
water tank is checked on a daily basis,
emptying when required. This is done by
opening the valve located just beneath the
side skirt on the exterior of the Motorhome
or by turning the handle located inside the
