SMOKE DETECTOR
A smoke detector is provided with your trailer. A manual pertaining to the detector is
included in the paper work given to you at the dealership. Please read and follow all
care, maintenance, and safety information contained in this manual.
The smoke alarm will “beep” once a minute for at least 30 days when the battery is
weak. The battery must immediately be replaced with a fresh one.
LP GAS DETECTOR
In the kitchen area of your unit, approximately six inches above the floor, is the LP
gas detector. LP gas is a mixture of gases produced and sold commercially as a fuel
for heating and cooking appliances. LP gas is highly flammable and, as a result, can
be explosive if ignited under certain circumstances. LP gas is heavier than air and,
if confined in a closed space, will accumulate close to the floor. When the LP gas
concentration in your unit exceeds 2000 PPM the detector will provide a visual and
audible alarm by sounding a buzzer and flashing the red LED two times per second.
WARNING
:
Activation of this detector indicates the presence of LP gas,
which can cause an explosion and/or fire. This normally indicates a leak in the LP gas
installation or a LP gas appliance. Extinguish all open flames, open your windows and
door and evacuate the unit immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch. Turn
off the LP at your gas bottle(s). DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR UNIT UNTIL A QUALIFIED
REPAIR TECHNICIAN HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
OPERATION
Your LP gas detector is wired directly to your vehicle battery and incorporates a 1-amp
in-line fuse. When the device is operating normally the green LED will be lit.
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, which “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
Press the test button for 5 to 6 seconds until the alarm sounds then release the test
button. The red LED should flash and the alarm sound for approximately 4 minutes.
This test should be performed at least once a week during normal vehicle operation,
and after periods of storage, and before each trip.
WARNING
:
Have a professional check your system if you have any doubts.
