LP-GAS SYSTEMS --- SECTION 7 • 261
NEPTUNE 2004
7
The LP-Gas detector is not tested to detect other types of gas. However, other
volatile gases (nuisance gases), most of them flammable in various concentrations,
may cause the detector to alarm. Some products that may cause the detector to
alarm are alcohol, liquor, kerosene, gasoline, deodorants, colognes, propellant
used in spray cans and cleaning solvents. In some cases vapors from glues and
adhesives used in the manufacturing of the motorhome may also cause the detector
to alarm for several months after the date of manufacture. If it is determined
that the detector has false alarmed because of the above mentioned nuisance
gases, reset the detector and air out the motorhome with fresh outside air.
Take precautions to be sure one of these nuisances has not masked an actual
gas alarm condition. The detector draws less current than one instrument panel
lamp. The detector will operate to detect gas until the battery is drained down to
7.0 Volts. The detector must be supplied with a voltage higher than 7.0 Volts, for it
to operate properly. If the power source is disconnected, or if the power is
otherwise interrupted, the detector will not operate.
The LP-Gas leak detector has a self-check circuit which runs at all times while
the detector is powered. In the event that the circuitry fails, a failure alarm will
sound and the operating indicator will cease to light.
LP-Gas Detector Operation:
Upon first application of power the LED will flash yellow for three minutes
while 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 gas it will
immediately sound an alarm. The gas detector operates on 12 Volt DC, with a
current draw less than 1/10th of one amp.
CAUTION: The detector will not alarm during the three minute
warm up cycle.
Press the
TEST
switch any time during the warm up cycle or while in normal
operation. The LED should flash red and the alarm should sound. Release the
switch. This is the only way the detector should be tested. The test feature checks
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.
The
red
LED will flash and the alarm will sound whenever a dangerous level
of propane or methane gas is detected. The detector will continue to alarm until
the gas clears or the
Test/Mute
switch is pressed.
