Automatic Changeover Regulator (Option)

(FOR OPTIONAL DOUBLE BOTTLES ONLY)
The automatic changeover regulator allows both gas bottles to be turned on simulta-
neously. The arrow on the regulator handle indicates which bottle is in service. When the
indicated bottle in service becomes empty, changeover is automatically accomplished to
commence drawing fuel from the other bottle. At this point, the plastic window will
display a red signal or flag to indicate the condition. The lever should then be flipped over
to indicate service on the other bottle. The first bottle which was depleted can then be
turned off, uncoupled and taken to be refilled without disturbing the RV gas supply.
After refilling, it can be removed and again turned to the "ON" position. When the other
bottle is depleted, the LP gas supply will again be automatically changed back to the first
bottle.

LP DETECTOR

All recreation vehicles with an LP fuel system with propane consuming appliances
require a propane leak detection device for safety protection. A converter or auxiliary
battery is required to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate the leak detector.
WARNING: Limitations of propane/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 propane 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.
