CAUTION: This detector cannot sound an alarm during the three minute
warm up cycle.
Testing
1
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 (Fig. 4-25) any
time during the warm up cycle or while in
normal operation. The LED light should flash
RED and the alarm should sound. Release the
switch.
This is the only way you should test
your LP detector. This test feature checks the
full operation of the detector. If this detector
does not test properly return the detector im-
mediately for repair or replacement.
Alarm
The red LED light will flash and the alarm will sound whenever dangerous levels of gas
are 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 (stove, heaters, furnace). Extinguish all flames and
smoking material. Evacuate the trailer – leave doors and windows open.
2. Turn off the LP gas container valve.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Seek professional help if necessary.
4. Do not re-enter the unit until the problem is corrected.
ALARM MUTE
This feature is activated by pressing the TEST/MUTE button when the detector is in
alarm.
1. The red LED light will continue to flash and the alarm will beep every thirty seconds
until the gas level has dropped to a safe level.
2. The LED light 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.
MALFUNCTION ALARM
The microprocessor will activate the malfunction alarm when it detects a fault in the
detectors operation. The LED light will alternately flash red and green, while the sounder
beeps twice every 15 seconds. The mute switch will not function. Remove the detector
immediately and return it for repair or replacement.
Low Power Operation
This detector will operate normally down to 7-volt DC. Do not operate this detector
below 7-volt DC. Additional information is supplied in a manual published by the
manufacturer of this equipment.
LP Gas Consumption
Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water,
the water heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind
conditions, furnace consumption can be extremely high.
LP gas consumption depends upon individual use of the appliances and the length of time
operated. Each gallon (3.86 liters) of LP gas produces about 91,500 BTUs (46,514
kilojoules) of heat energy. Following is a list of typical appliance consumption when
turned on fully for one hour of operation:

NOTE: This chart is an example of a typical system and may not represent the exact
system in your particular unit.
If you have double bottles on your travel trailer, use only one at a time. Otherwise the gas
supply will be drawn equally from both bottles until the supply has been totally
exhausted. Using one bottle until it is empty, then using the second bottle will allow you
to fill the empty bottle at your convenience without being totally out of LP gas.
LP DETECTOR
All recreation vehicles with an LP gas system with LP gas consuming appliances require
a LP gas leak detection device for safety protection. A converter or auxiliary battery is
required to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate the leak detector.

WARNING: Limitations of propane/methane gas detectors:
• This detector will not work without power. Examples causing no power are:
an open circuit breaker, a faulty power line connection, a blown or missing
fuse.
• This detector will only indicate the presence of propane or methane gas at
the sensor. Explosive gas may be present in other areas.
• This detector may not be heard. The alarm loudness is designed to meet or
exceed regulatory standards, however, the alarm may not be heard if
detectors are located in remote locations or behind closed doors. The alarm
may not be heard by persons who are hard of hearing.
• This detector is not suitable as a smoke or fire detector.
• This detector is not suitable for installation in hazardous areas as defined in
the national electrical code.
Operation
Power ON Warm Up: When power is first applied the yellow LED light will flash for
three minutes while the detector is warming up. At the end of that time the LED light will
turn green indicating full operation. If the detector has detected unsafe levels of gas it
will immediately go into alarm.
