ABOUT YOUR LP GAS DETECTOR:
Liquid Propane (LP)
Gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest point which
is generally the floor of your coach. The detector is also
sensitive to other fumes such as hair spray of which most
contain butane as the propellant. Butane, like propane, is
heavier than air and will settle to the floor level where it will
be detected.
Other combustibles which will be detected include liquor,
alcohol, deodorants, colognes, perfumes, wine, adhesives,
lacquer, kerosene, gasoline, glues, and most cleaning agents
and the propellants of aerosol cans. Most fumes from these
chemicals are lighter than air and float upwards. They will not
be detected by your gas detector unless sprayed or exposed
directly into the sensor. However, if a strong cleaning agent
is used on the floor, the alert may sound and turn off the gas
valve. If this occurs, complete your cleaning and air out your
coach before resetting the detector
.
Your gas detector is powered by your RV battery and/or your
converter. It draws less current than drawn by one instrument
panel lamp. Your detector will operate to detect gas and
continue your gas service until your battery is drained down
to 10 volts. (Your low battery condition is 10.4 volts). When
your battery has been drained down, the gas will be turned
off. The only way to reset the detector and restore the gas
service is to recharge your battery.
Check all pilots after
restoring gas service.
If the power source is disconnected, or if the power is
otherwise interrupted, the detector light will go out and the
gas will be shut off. When the power source is reconnected,
the detector will alarm and the gas will remain off until the
detector is reset. The detector can only be reset when power
is present. The gas cannot be turned on unless the detector
is powered and the air is free of combustible vapors.

HOW TO OPERATE:
When gas service is required, turn
the gas detector on by sliding its switch up to the
ON
position.
A pinging or ticking sound will be heard. This is the warm-up
and self-check mode. After 20 to 60 seconds, the green GAS
ON indicator will begin to flash indicating the gas valve is
open from your LP gas tank to your gas appliances.

. Slide the switch to the
OFF
position to
turn off the gas detector and close the gas valve. If the
detector has gone unused for an extended period of time, it
may produce an alarm sound at the end of the warm-up. If
this occurs, reset the gas detector and turn it back on.
If LP gas contacts your gas detector, your gas detector will
sound the alarm and turn off the gas valve. The alarm will
continue to sound until the detector is turned off. The gas
flow will remain off until the detector is reset and the gas
vapors are no longer present. Should this occur, air out your
coach, then reset your gas detector. If gas is still present
when reset, the alarm will again sound.
Have a qualified LP
Gas Dealer or RV Service Center make the necessary
repairs to the source of the gas leak.
The detector will
detect LP gas and sound an alert at 1/5th the LEL (Lower
Explosion Level) for LP gas.
This device is intended for
detection of LP gas only.
TO TURN OFF:
Slide the switch to the OFF
(reset)
position
to turn off the gas detector and close the gas valve. Always turn
off the propane at the tank when the coach is not in use.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE:
Your gas detector is an
electronic instrument designed to provide years of trouble
free service. To check its sensitivity to LP gas, use a butane
lighter as follows:
Do not
rotate the flint wheel, just press the
gas release button and point the gas exit jet into the gas
sensing area under the flashing green light of your gas
detector. The alert will sound and the
GAS ON
indicator will
cease to light indicating the gas is turned off. To reset, turn
the detector off, fan the gas sensing hole to clear the gas
vapors, and then reset the detector. Check all pilot lights.
This test procedure should be repeated every
week or everytime the coach is taken on a trip,
whichever occurs first.
NOTE:
After the gas has been turned off, the pilot lights may burn
for several minutes to exhaust the gas from the gas piping.
