Alarm; Maintenance - Monaco LaPalma Owner's Manual

Alarm

The red LED will flash and the alarm will sound whenever a dangerous level of
propane or methane gas is detected. The detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears
or the Test/Mute switch is pressed.
1. Turn off all gas appliances, (stove, heaters, furnace), extinguish all flames and
smoking material. Evacuate, leave doors and windows open.
2. Turn off the primary valve on the LP tank.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Contact a qualified service
professional if additional repairs are necessary or if the source of the leak
cannot be determined.
CAUTION: Do Not re-enter until the problem is corrected.
WARNING: Do not operate the remote LP disconnect switch during an alarm.
This may cause a spark that can ignite the fuel. Turn off the primary LP valve
on the LP tank.
Potential Sources of LP Gas Leaks When Operating the Motorhome:
• Cooktop Burners
• Oven
• Furnace
• Refrigerator
Alarm Mute:
Press the Test-Mute button when the detector is in alarm.
1. The red LED will continue flash and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds
until the gas level has dropped to a safe level.
2. The LED will flash green until the end of the Mute cycle.
3. If dangerous gas levels return before the end of the Mute cycle, the alarm will
beep four times and return to phase 1.
4. After two minutes the detector will return to normal operation (solid green) or
resound the alarm if dangerous levels of gas 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 gas detector must be repaired or replaced.

Maintenance

1. Vacuum the dust off the detector cover weekly (more frequently in dusty
locations) using the soft brush attachment of the vacuum.
2. Do not spray cleaning agents or waxes directly onto the front panel. This
action may damage the sensor, cause an alarm or cause a detector
malfunction.
