ALARM
The red LED will flash and the alarm will sound when dangerous levels of gas are detected. The
detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears or the "MUTE" switch is pressed. (See
Procedures To Take During An Alarm).
PROCEDURES TO TAKE DURING AN ALARM
1. Turn off all gas appliances (stove, heaters, furnace). Extinguish all flames and smoking
material. Evacuate - leave doors and windows open.
2. Turn off the LP gas tank valve.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Contact a qualified technician for help if
necessary.

ALARM MUTE
This feature is activated by pressing the TEST/MUTE button when the detector is in alarm.
1. The red LED will continue to flash and the alarm will beep every thirty seconds until the gas
level has dropped to a safe level.
2. The LED will flash green until the end of the mute cycle.
3. If dangerous gas levels return before the end of the mute cycle, the alarm will beep four times
and return to #1.
4. After two minutes, the detector will return to normal operation (solid green) or resound the
alarm if dangerous levels of gas remain in the area.
Malfunction Alarm
The microprocessor will activate the malfunction alarm when it detects a fault in the detectors
operation. The LED will alternately flash red and green, while the sounder beeps twice every
fifteen seconds. The mute switch will not function. Remove the detector immediately and return it
for repair or replacement.
Low Power Operation
This detector will operate normally down to 7-volt DC. Do not operate this detector below 7-volt
DC. Additional information is supplied in a manual published by the manufacturer.
