LP-Gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest
point, which is generally the floor of the motorhome. The
LP-Gas detector is sensitive to other fumes such as hair
spray, most of which contain butane as the propellant.
Butane, like propane, is heavier than air and will settle to
the floor level where it will be detected. When this occurs,
press the reset button for 60 seconds, to stop the alert
sound.
The other combustibles that can be detected include:
alcohol, liquor, deodorants, colognes, perfumes, wine,
adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, gasoline, glues, cleaning
agents and aerosol can propellant. Most are lighter than
air in their vapor state and will only be
detected when the motorhome is closed up.
CAUTION: This detector cannot alarm during the three-minute warm-up cycle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When power is first applied, the Yellow LED will flash for three minutes
while the detector is stabilizing. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The test
feature checks the full operation of the detector.
NOTE: 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 Mute switch is pressed.
Procedures to Take During an Alarm
1. Turn off all gas appliances.
2. Extinguish all flames and smoking material. Keep open flames, spark
producing devices and smoking material out of the area.
3. Open doors and windows.
4. Evacuate the motorhome.
5. Turn off the propane tank valve.
6. A qualified service technician should determine and repair the source
of the leak.
