Testing the Propane Fume Sensors
WARNING
DO NOT USE A PROPANE SOAKED RAG OR A PARTIALLY FULL CONTAINER OF PROPANE TO TEST A
SENSOR. THE RAW PROPANE COULD IGNITE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
Test the Sensors by holding an unlit Butane lighter to the sensor. Within a few seconds, the Red
“Danger” LED should illu
minate and the alarm horn will sound. Remove the lighter from the
Sensor and mute the alarm horn. After approximately one minute, the Red LED will shut off.
Maintenance
The system should be tested periodically in the fashion described in the previous sections. Due to
the harsh environmental conditions in marine applications, it is recommended to replace the
Propane Fume Sensors every 3-4 years.
In the Event of an Alarm
Immediately have all passengers and crew exit the passenger compartment and vessel if possible.
Ventilate the space being monitored.
Carefully check all fuel lines and other potential sources of propane fume leaks. If leaks are
identified, shut off fuel supply and make any necessary repairs.
