Lp Detector; Operation; Testing - Jayco COVE 2002 Owner's Manual

LP DETECTOR

All park trailers with an LP gas system with gas consuming appliances require a 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.
I
WARNING: Limitations of LP gas/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 LP gas 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 will flash for three minutes while
the detector is warming up. At the end of that time the LED will turn green indicating full operation.
If the detector has detected unsafe levels of gas it will immediately go into alarm.
#
CAUTION: This detector cannot sound an alarm during the three minute warm up cycle.

Testing

I
WARNING: Test the operation of this detector after the trailer has been in storage
and at least once per week during use.
Simply press the TEST switch (Fig. 4-21) 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. This test feature checks the full
operation of the detector. If this detector does not
test properly return the detector immediately for
repair or replacement.
