Propane Detector Operation:
Upon first application of power the LED will flash yellow for three minutes as the detector is stabilizing. At the end
of the start cycle the LED will turn green, indicating full operation. If the detector senses unsafe levels of propane it will
immediately sound an alarm. The propane detector draws power from the chassis batteries at a rate of less than 1/10
th
of
one Amp.
CAUTION:
The detector will not alarm during the three minute warm up cycle.
Testing
Press the Test switch any time during the warm up cycle or while in normal operation. The LED will turn red
and an alarm will sound. Release the switch. This is the only way to test full operation of the detector.
WARNING:
Test the operation of
this detector after the
motorhome has been in
storage, before each trip
and at least once per week
during use.
Alarm
The red LED will flash and the alarm will sound whenever dangerous levels of propane or natural gas are
detected. The detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears or the
Test/Mute
switch
is pressed.
Alarm Procedures:
1. Turn off all propane appliances (stove, water heater, furnace,
refrigerator), extinguish all flames and smoking material. Evacuate
immediately. Leave doors and windows open.
2. Turn off primary valve on propane tank.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. If necessary, contact a
qualified professional for service.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate any electric switch. This can produce a spark and
ignite the gas.
CAUTION:
DO NOT re-enter until the problem is corrected.
Alarm Mute:
Press the
Test/Mute switch
when the detector is in alarm.
1. The red LED will continue to flash and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds until the gas level has dropped to a
safe level.
2. The LED will flash green until the end of the Mute cycle.
3. If dangerous gas levels return before the end of the Mute cycle, the alarm will beep four times and return to
phase 1.
4. After two minutes the detector will return to normal operation (solid green) or resound the alarm if
dangerous levels of gas remain in the area.
