Limitations Of Propane/Methane Detectors
•
This detector will not work without power.
Examples are: an open circuit breaker, a faulty
power line connection, a blown or missing
fuse.
•
This detector will only indicate the presence
of propane or methane at the sensor. Explo-
sive gas may be present in other areas. Do not
test with butane. Sensor damage could occur!
•
This detector may not be heard. The alarm
loudness is designed to meet or exceed regu-
latory standards; however, the alarm may not
be heard if detectors are located in remote
locations or behind closed doors. The alarm
may not be heard by persons who are hard of
hearing.
•
This detector is not a smoke or fire detector;
it is not suitable as a smoke or fire detector.
•
This detector is not suitable for installation in
hazardous areas as defined in the national
electrical code.
How to Take Care of Your Detector
This detector has been designed to be as maintenance-
free as possible. To keep your detector in good working
order, you must:
•
Test the detector weekly.
•
Observe the color of the indicator light on the front
panel of the detector at frequent occasions and dur-
ing your weekly test.
•
Vacuum the dust off the detector cover at least once
a year (more frequently in dusty locations) using the
soft brush attachment of your vacuum.
•
Clean the detector cover when dirty. Hand wash
using a cloth dampened in clean water. Dry with a
soft cloth.
•
DO NOT SPRAY CLEANING AGENTS OR WAXES
directly onto the front panel. This action may dam-
age the sensor and cause the detector to
malfunction.

When power is first applied, the Yellow LED will
flash for ten minutes while the detector is warming
