LP Gas Systems
LP Gas Systems
When alarm sounds open all doors and windows to air out motorhome and
turn gas off at LP tank. Do not re-enter motorhome until alarm stops sounding. If
alarm sounds a second time after gas is turned back on, leave gas off and contact
a qualified service technician to find source and repair gas leak.
Operation
Detector only indicates presence
of Propane Gas at sensor.
Gas may be present in other areas.
This device is intended for detection of
Propane Gas leaks only. LP gas detec-
tor is operating at all times when it is
connected to its power source.
detector is a safety device, and must
not be connected in such a way as to
allow it to be switched off or become
disconnected from its power supply.
When the motorhome is equipped with
a master cutoff switch, the detector will be turned off when the switch is turned OFF.
When the detector is powered or turned ON a green indicator light will be lit. After 3 min-
utes the detector will begin monitoring immediate environment for combustible vapors.
Propane you use to cook and refrigerate with is combustible. Should a leak occur, when
gas reaches the detector in sufficient concentrations, your detector will produce a pul-
sating alarm sound and A RED indicator alarm light will flash. This alarm (4 rapid beeps
per second) will continue to sound until gas has dissipated or until reset button is
pressed. The reset button only stops alarm from sounding for 60 seconds.
Gas detector is powered by your motorhome battery and/or your converter. It
draws less current than drawn by one instrument panel lamp. Your detector will oper-
ate to detect gas until your battery is drained down to 9 volts. (Your low battery condi-
tion 10.4 volts). If the power source (battery and/or converter) is disconnected, or if
power is otherwise interrupted, detector will not operate.
The gas detector has a self check circuit which runs at all times while the detector
is powered. In the event that circuitry fails, a fault alarm will sound and the fault indic-
