Propane/Carbon Monoxide Detector —#2
Any recreational vehicle which contains a propane fuel system with
propane consuming appliances requires a propane leak detection device
for safety protection. Currently this detector also serves as a carbon
monoxide protection device. A converter or auxiliary battery is required
to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate the device. There is no master
cut-off switch to disengage detector.

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which is released
when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore very
difficult to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions, in a
room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and correctly
ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by
appliances is not dangerous. These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal,
oil. natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Such gases can build
up in the blood, interfering with the body's ability to supply oxygen to
itself.
Because CO is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and highly poisonous
gas that prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to vital organs, CO is
200 times more likely to replace oxygen in the blood. It can endanger
lives even at low levels of concentration.

DUAL SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

The SAFE-T-ALERT 35 series combination CO/Propane Gas Alarm is an
alarm that combines into a single, compact system a powerful alarm that
detects both Carbon Monoxide (CO) and explosive gases propane.
The 35 series uses the latest microprocessor technology combined with
two electronic self-cleaning sensors that operate independently of each
other. The combined unit can detect CO and explosive gases
simultaneously.

OPERATION

When the unit is first powered up, the CO sensor requires a ten (10)
minute initial warm-up period to clean the sensor element and achieve
stabilization. The GREEN LED indicator will flash on and off during the
10 minute warm-up period. The unit cannot go into a CO alarm during
the warm-up period. To test your unit during the warm-up period, press
