water heater, furnace, refrigerator),
extinguish all flames and smoking
material. Evacuate immediately. Leave
doors and windows open.
Turn off primary shut-off valve on the
propane tank.
Determine and repair the source of the
leak. If necessary, contact a qualified
professional for service.

Alarm Mute:
Press the Test/Mute switch when the detector
is in alarm.
The red LED will continue to flash and
the alarm will beep every 30 seconds
until the gas level has dropped to a safe
level.
The LED will flash green until the end
of the Mute cycle.
If dangerous gas levels return before
the end of the Mute cycle, the alarm
will beep four times and return to
phase 1.
After two minutes the detector will
return to normal operation (solid
green) or resound the alarm if
dangerous levels of propane remain in
the area.
Fault Alarm:
Should the microprocessor sense a fault in
the gas detector, a fault alarm will sound twice
every 15 seconds. The LED will alternately
flash red to green and the MUTE switch will
not respond to any command. The propane
detector must be repaired or replaced.

dusty locations) using the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum.
