Low Voltage
The operating voltage for the detector is 12 vDC The
actual voltage supplied to the detector in a recreational
vehicle may drop below the minimum 8 vDC The
detector provides the user with a low voltage warning
before reaching that level and will provide additional
distinct, clear warnings and alarms after the 8 vDC
level is reached however, if available power supplied
to the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 vDC, the
detector will not detect gas or provide protection against
dangerous levels of LPg
WARNING
Activation of this detector indicates the possible
presence of LPG, which can cause an explosion
and/or fire, causing serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation
or an LPG appliance. Extinguish all open flames,
open your windows and door, and evacuate the unit
immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch.
Turn off the LPG at your gas tank(s). Do not re-enter
your unit until a qualified repair technician has
corrected the problem and certified the system as
safe.
WARNING
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor of
the device that burns away impurities in the air
during periods of normal use. During periods when
power is interrupted, impurities can build up on the
sensor. When power is returned to the detector,
the detector alarm may activate until the impurities
are burned off. This could take a number of hours,
during which time the alarm will be constantly on.
Detector Test
The Test/Rest button is used to verify proper alarm
function executing the test function sounds the alarm
and lights up the red LeD The test will sound the
alarm twice, with four beeps in 1 second, followed by
5 seconds of silence By pressing the button, you can
verify that the alarm sounds and the LeD functions

Have a qualified technician check your LPG system
annually or if you detect any signs of leaks or
malfunctions.
