LP DETECTOR
Any recreation vehicle which contains an LP fuel system with propane consuming appliances
requires a propane leak detection device for safety protection. A converter or auxiliary battery is
required to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate leak detector.
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.
I
CAUTION: This detector cannot alarm during the three minute warm up cycle.
TESTING
I
WARNING: Test the operation of this detector after the vehicle has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per week during use.
Press "the TEST switch" (Fig. 4-28) any time during the
warm up cycle or while in normal operation. The LED
should flash RED and the alarm should sound. Release the
switch. This is the only way you should test your detector.
This test feature checks the full operation of the detector. If
this detector does not test properly return the detector
immediately for repair or replacement.
ALARM
The red LED will flash and the alarm will sound when dangerous levels of gas are detected. The
detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears or the "MUTE" switch is pressed. (See Procedures
To Take During An Alarm).
PROCEDURES TO TAKE DURING AN ALARM
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 propane tank valve.
3. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Contact a qualified technician for help if
necessary.
I
CAUTION: Do not re-enter until the problem is corrected.
