LP DETECTOR
All recreation vehicles containing an LP fuel system with propane consuming appliances
require a propane leak detection device for safety protection. Converter or auxiliary
battery is required to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate leak detector.
Operation
Power ON Warm Up: When power is first applied, the yellow LED will flash for three
minutes while the detector is warming up. At the end of that time, the LED will turn
Green indicating full operation. If the detector has detected unsafe levels of gas, it will
immediately go into alarm.
CAUTION: This detector cannot alarm during the three minute warm up cycle.
Testing
WARNING: Test the operation of this detector after the vehicle has been
in storage, before each trip and at least once per week during use.
Simply 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 you should test your detector. This test feature checks the full
operation of the detector. If this detector does not test properly, return the detector
immediately for repair or replacement.
Alarm
The red LED will flash and the alarm will sound when dangerous levels of gas are
detected. The detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears or the MUTE switch is
pressed. (See Procedures To Take During An Alarm)
PROCEDURES TO TAKE DURING AN ALARM
1. Turn off all gas appliances (stove, heaters, furnace). Extinguish all flames and
smoking material. Evacuate – leave doors and windows open.
2. Turn off the propane container valve.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Seek professional help if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not re-enter until the problem is corrected.
ALARM MUTE
Pressing the TEST/MUTE button when the detector is in alarm activates this feature.
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 #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.
