if confined in a closed space, will accumulate close to the floor. When the LP gas
concentration in your unit exceeds 2000 PPM the detector will provide a visual and
audible alarm by sounding a buzzer and flashing the red LED two times per second.
WARNING: Activation of this detector indicates the presence of LP gas,
which can cause an explosion and/or fire. 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 electri-
cal 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.
OPERATION
Your LP gas detector is wired directly to your vehicle battery and incorporates a 1-amp
in-line fuse. When the device is operating normally the green LED will be lit.
CAUTION: 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 technician check all safety related
systems yearly or whenever any doubts of their ability to function properly arise.
OVERNIGHT STOP
In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful little roadside locations by turn-
ing off the main highway and exploring. There are many modern recreational vehicle
parks, including State, County and Federal parks with good facilities, where you may
obtain hookups of electrical, water and sewer connections. Directories are published
which describe in detail these parks and tell what is available in the way of services
and hookups.
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury is to:
1. Turn on LP gas supply and light appliance pilots if required.
2. Turn on water pump and open faucets until air is expelled from the system.
