Identification and Safety
CARBON
MONOXIDE AND
PROPANE GAS
DETECTOR
The carbon monoxide and propane gas comination detector is powered at all times
when the coach battery disconnect switch is in the ON position. When power is
supplied to the detector the green indicator light will illuminate. After 60 seconds, the
detector will begin monitoring the air in the motor home for combustible vapors. The
Propane you use to cook, refrigerate, and heat is combustible. Should a leak occur,
the detector will produce a pulsating alert sound when the gas reaches the detector.
This alert will continue to sound until the gas has dissipated or until the reset button
is pressed. When the alert sounds, open all doors and major windows to air out the
motor home and turn the gas off at the tank. Do not reenter the motor home until the
alert stops sounding. If the alert sounds a second time after the gas is turned back
on, leave the gas off and have a qualified Propane Dealer or Motor Home Service
Center make the necessary repairs. The reset button only stops the alert from
sounding for 60 seconds. This device is intended for detection of carbon monoxide
andropane gas ONLY.
Maintenance Note: Never use water, cleaners or solvents to clean the detector.
The following maintenance steps should be taken to ensure proper function of
the detector.
• Test the detector at least once per week.
• Clean the detector at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of
the detector using the vacuum's soft brush attachment.
• If detector becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime,
and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit
immediately.
Be sure to replace your detectors by the “Replace by”
date on the cover, or according to the timeframe listed in
the detector’s user’s manual.
How To Test
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. If this detector does not test properly return it immediately
for repair or replacement.
Note:
Refer to the detector manufacturer if you have any questions about
the Propane Gas Detector.
Checking the
Propane System for
Leaks
ROAD VIBRATION CAN LOOSEN PROPANE FITTINGS. It
is important to check the Propane system for leaks at least
every 5,000 miles, and whenever the tank is filled. It is also
a good idea to have the entire Propane system checked
annually by a qualified Propane service representative.
This test procedure should be repeated every week or every time the motor home is
taken on a trip.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST
THIS UNIT. The built-in test switch accurately tests the
unit's operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL)
