LP GAS DETECTOR
THIS ALARM HAS A SEVEN YEAR LIFE, SEE END OF LIFE NOTIFICATION
IN LP DETECTOR MANUAL. PLEASE READ ENTIRE DETECTOR MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING UNIT.
The detector is designed to provide the user with a LOW VOLTAGE WARNING
before reaching that level and to provide additional distinct, clear warnings and
alarms after the 8 VDC level is reached. However, if available power supplied to
the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 VDC the detector will not detect gas
or provide you protection against dangerous levels of LP Gas.
E
In the kitchen area of your unit is the LP gas detector. LP gas is a mixture
of gases produced and sold commercially as a fuel for heating and cooking
appliances. LP gas is highly flammable and, as a result, can be explosive if
ignited under certain circumstances. LP gas is heavier than air and, if confined
in a closed space, will accumulate close to the floor. The LP gas detector is
designed to alarm at less than 25% of the legal explosive limit. It will provide
a visual and audible alarm by sounding an alarm every 5 seconds and lighting
the red LED.
DANGER: Activation of this detector indicates the presence of
LP gas, which can cause an explosion and/or fire causing death or serious
injury. This normally indicates a leak in the LP gas installation or a LP gas
appliance. Extinguish all open flames, open your windows and door and
evacuate the unit immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch. Turn
off the LP at your gas bottle(s). DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR UNIT UNTIL A
QUALIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND
CERTIFIED THE SYSTEM AS SAFE.
Your LP gas detector is wired directly to your vehicle battery and incorporates a
1-amp in-line fuse. It has no internal battery back up. In Normal Stand By Mode
the LED indicator will be green.
LOW VOLTAGE
The operating voltage for the detector is 12 VDC. The actual voltage supplied
to the detector in a recreational vehicle may drop below the minimum 8 VDC.
DANGER: It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of storage. There is a
small heater on the sensor of the device, which “burns” away impurities
in the air during periods of normal use. During periods when power is
interrupted, impurities can build up on the sensor. When power is returned
to the detector the detector alarm may activate until the impurities are
“burned” off. This could take a number of hours, during which time the
alarm will be constantly “on”.
