SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-4
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular inter-
vals, a leak may be present. Contact your dealer
or an LP gas service center to have the problem
corrected before using the LP system again.
If the coach batteries become extremely
drained (8.5 volts or less), the amber Low Volt-
age/FAULT light on the face of the alarm will
come on, and in some cases the LP alarm may
begin to sound on its own. This condition is not
likely to occur except during storage situations
when coach battery charge is not being restored
by the converter charger or solar charger.
Other Combustible Fumes or Vapors
This alarm is designed to detect the presence
of LP gas, however there are other combustible
fumes or vapors which may be detected by the
sensor. These include: alcohol, liquor, deodor-
ants, colognes, perfumes, wine, adhesives,
lacquer, kerosene, gasoline, glues, most all clean-
ing agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.
Most are lighter than air in their vapor state and
will only be detected when the area is closed up.
Glues and adhesives may exhaust hydrocarbon
vapors for months after they are applied. They
are easily activated by high temperatures. If you
close up an RV coach on a hot day, the chemicals
used in its construction may be detected for
months after the coach was manufactured.
Power Connection
The gas alarm is powered by the coach batter-
ies. If the battery cable is disconnected from the
batteries, or the fuse is blown, the alarm will not
work. The LP gas alarm fuse is located on the
power converter breaker panel shown in section
6.
Because the LP gas alarm is connected direct-
ly to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a
small amount of current. Even though this current
draw is slight, it could drain the coach battery
during storage periods when the house battery
will not be charged regularly by the engine or
shoreline. To avoid battery discharge we recom-
mend turning the Aux. Batt switch off during
storage periods or between periodic weekend
usage. We recommend disconnecting the battery
cables from the auxiliary battery during extended
storage periods to avoid discharge.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s information entitled
“Your LP Gas Detector” in the InfoCase for
further instructions on nuisance alarms and care
and testing of the LP gas detector.
ELECTRICAL
·
Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical
components or appliances while feet are bare,
while hands are wet, or while standing in
water or on wet ground.
·
Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury. Do not plug the utility power
cord into an outlet which is not grounded and
do not adapt the plug to connect to a recepta-
cle for which it is not designed.
·
Do not attach an extension cord to the utility
power cord.
·
Be sure that all electrical appliances to be
used contain 3-prong plugs for proper
grounding.
·
Avoid overloading electrical circuits. Re-
place fuses or circuit breakers with those of
the same size and amperage rating only. Nev-
er use a higher rated fuse or breaker.
Never use an open flame to test for
gas leaks. When testing for gas line
leaks with a soapy water solution, DO
NOT use a detergent containing
ammonia or chlorine. These sub-
stances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas
lines, resulting in dangerous leak con-
ditions.
