This alarm is designed to sense the presence
of propane gas however there are other
combustible fumes or vapors that may be
detected by the sensor including (but not
limited to): acetone, alcohol, butane and
gasoline. These chemicals can be found in
commonly used items such as deodorants,
colognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer,
kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning
agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and
adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreational
vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its
construction may be detected for months after
the vehicle was constructed (for more
information, refer to
Sec. 9 Storage &
Maintenance
, Formaldehyde).
If the alarm sounds
1. Turn off all propane gas appliances (i.e.,
stove, water heater, furnace, etc.).
2. Open all windows and roof vents, and
evacuate the RV.
3. Turn OFF the propane tank valve.
4. Do not touch any electrical switch or use
any phone or radio in the RV.
5. Do not start any vehicle engine or
generator.
6. Determine and repair the source of the
leak.
7. Do not re-enter the RV until the problem
has been corrected.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular
intervals, a leak may be present. Contact your
dealer or propane gas service to have the
problem corrected before using the propane
system again.
Testing the propane leak alarm
If the propane leak alarm does not test
properly, return the alarm immediately to your
RV dealer for repair or replacement.
Do not remove the following label from your
RV:
Battery or converter power source
The propane gas alarm is powered by 12-volt
DC through the converter or from the house (or
coach) battery. This alarm is always drawing a
small amount of 12-volt current. Although this
current draw is slight, it could drain the house
batteries during extended storage periods. If
the house batteries becomes extremely
drained, the LED light on the face of the alarm
will not light or the alarm may begin to sound
on its own. This condition is not likely to occur
except during storage situations when the
converter cannot maintain the battery charge.
For more information
Read the OEM operator’s manual. Be sure to
know how and when to use the propane gas
alarm and where it is located.
