Detector Test; Basic Lpg Safety Information; If You Smell Gas - Airstream INTERSTATE SE 2024 Owner's Manual

level is reached� However, if available power supplied
to the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 VDC,
the detector will not detect gas or provide protection
against dangerous levels of LPG�
WARNING
If the low voltage warning sounds, the detector
will need to be reset by disconnecting the battery,
before normal operation will occur.

Detector Test

If the Silence/Test button is pressed while in normal
operation, the alarm will perform a self test of the
CO sensor, propane sensor and battery voltage� It
is recommended to perform a self test weekly, after
power up from storage, and before each trip� If the self
test passes, the alarm will perform 2 cycles of the CO
horn pattern (4 rapid chirps followed by a 4 second
pause), followed by 2 cycles of the propane horn
pattern (constantly beeping)�
WARNING
Activation of this detector indicates the possible
presence of LPG, which can cause an explosion
and/or fire, causing serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation
or an LPG appliance. Extinguish all open flames,
open your windows and door, and evacuate the
unit immediately. Do not activate any electrical
switch. Turn off the LPG using the remote shut off
switch. Do not re-enter your unit until a qualified
repair technician has corrected the problem and
certified the system as safe.
NOTICE
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor
of the device that burns away impurities in the
air during periods of normal use. During periods
when power is interrupted, impurities can build
up on the sensor. When power is returned to the
detector, the detector alarm may activate until
the impurities are burned off. This could take a
number of hours, during which time the alarm will
be constantly on.
WARNING
Have a qualified technician check your LPG
system annually or if you detect any signs of
leaks or malfunctions.

Basic LPG Safety Information

Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited
due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and proper
ventilation when using appliances will avoid dangers
of asphyxiation� Portable fuel burning equipment,
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, must not
be used inside the recreational vehicle�
DANGER
The use of portable fuel burning equipment
inside a recreational vehicle may cause fires or
asphyxiation. DO NOT use cooking appliances or
portable gas heaters for comfort heating. Before
operation, open overhead vent or turn on exhaust
fan and open a window.
A Warning Label has been located near the LP
gas container� This label reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80% PERCENT
OF CAPACITY. A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80% of its volume as liquid LP gas�
DANGER
Overfilling the LP gas container to more than 80%
of capacity can result in uncontrolled gas flow
that can cause a fire or explosion.
DANGER
DO NOT store LP containers within vehicle. LP
containers are equipped with safety devices that
vent gas should the pressure become excessive.

If you smell gas

• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all
smoking materials�
• Do not touch electrical switches�
• Shut off the gas supply using the remote shut off
switch�
• Open doors and other ventilating openings�
• Leave the area until odor clears�
• Have the gas system checked and leakage source
corrected before using again�
