OPERATION
Your LP gas detector is wired directly to your vehicle batteries and incorporates a
1-amp in-line fuse. When the device is operating normally the green LED will be lit.
WARNING : 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”.
DETECTOR TEST
Press the test button for 5 to 6 seconds until the alarm sounds then release the test
button. The red LED should flash and the alarm sound for approximately 4 minutes.
This test should be performed at least once a week during normal vehicle operation,
and after periods of storage, and before each trip.
LOW VOLTAGE
Below 10 VDC the detector will continue to operate but will blink alternately green and
orange. Below 8 VDC the unit will behave erratically and will eventually shut off. To
ensure proper operation, do not operate the unit below 10 VDC.
COMPONENT FAILURE
The failure of any circuit component will cause the detector to display a continuous
orange LED fault light and a short beep indicating failure. If this occurs, immediately
contact your dealer or Airstream Customer Service for the name of the nearest detec-
tor service center.
Please read the operating instructions for your detector, which have been supplied
with the paper work of your unit.
WARNING : Have a professional check your system if you have any
doubts.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire extinguisher just inside your forward door should have the charge checked
on a regular basis. Make sure your family, especially the cook, knows how to release
the extinguisher storage bracket, and how to properly operate the extinguisher. Check
with your local fire department for professional advice on its operation and use if you
find the directions on the extinguisher unclear. We’re sure they will be happy to assist
you and your family.
SAFETY:
Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important is your
common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material
or any other hazardous material, we are sure you realize your potential for ac-
cidents is greatly increased.
