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 MUTE switch is pressed.
Procedures to Take During an Alarm:
1. Turn off all gas appliances (stove, heaters, furnace). Extinguish all
flames and smoking material. Evacuate the motorhome, leaving all
doors and windows open.
2. Turn off the propane tank valve.
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.
WARNING: If the alarm sounds and there is no immediate
danger open all doors and windows to air out the
motorhome. Exit the motorhome and turn off the gas at the
LP tank. Do Not re-enter the motorhome until the alarm
stops sounding. If the alarm sounds again after the gas is
turned back on, turn the gas off. Leave the gas off and con-
tact a qualified service technician to find and repair the leak.
Do not re-enter the motorhome until the problem is correct-
ed.
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 concentration of LP-Gas has dispersed 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.
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.
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.
