into two slots in the back of the detector.

A. Why should you be concerned

about propane gas?

Propane gas is a colorless, flammable gas that

can be explosive if it escapes and builds up.

Propane is stored as a liquid under pressure,

so most likely sources of leaks are in the con-

nections to propane tanks for propane-pow-

ered heaters, stoves, refrigerators, furnaces,

or flame.

B. Where should you install the

detector?

Propane gas is heavier than air and therefore

collects in the lowest areas of rooms and

homes. To detect a dangerous concentration

of propane gas, you should place your detec-

tor near a propane appliance. You should also

place detectors on floors that are below the

floor with a propane appliance. For example,

a leak in a kitchen can create a build-up of

propane in the basement.

back of the detector) using the connectors

supplied. The relay output wires have the fol-

lowing connections and are labeled as such:

the black wire is common

the red wire is from the normally-open

contact.

the green wire is from the normally-closed

contact

Note: Steps 10 and 11 must be preformed by

qualified service personnel only.

Ensure that any wires not connected are insu-

lated with a connector (supplied).

Wait for ten minutes before you test the detec-

tor. During that time, the alarm may sound

several times and the yellow (malfunction)

Horizontal line

lights may light up once or twice as the detec-

tor cleans the sensor. This will also occur if the

power to the detector is interrupted.

D. How can you test the detector?

To test the detector, wait at least ten minutes

after installing it, press the test button. The

alarm sounds.

To reset the alarm, turn the 12 Volt supply off,

wait ten seconds, then turn it on again.

The detector continually checks itself. If it finds

a malfunction, it lights the yellow light. If this

occurs, call Dicon Global Inc. at 1-800-387-

4219.

E. How can you maintain your

detector?

Horizontal line

A detector is only useful if it works. To keep it

working, all you need to do is:

vacuum the air vents occasionally to

keep them free of dust.

test the detector by pressing the test

button once a month.

F. What do the lights mean?

Yellow (Malfunction) light: This lights up

when a detector finds a malfunction while it is

checking itself. It is normal for this light to turn

on once or twice after you power the detector

or after a power failure.

G. What should you do if the

ALARM sounds?

EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!

Do a head count to check

that everybody is accounted

for. Call the nearest fire

department and ask them to

determine the source of

propane gas. Do not re-enter

the premises until the prob-

lem has been corrected and

the propane gas has been

dispersed.

WARNING:

Activation of

this device indicates the

presence of propane gas,

which is flammable and can

be fatal. The source of the

gas may be an object such

as a furnace, a hot water

heater or other propane gas

appliances.

This detector will only indi-

cate the presence of

propane gas near the detec-

tor. Propane gas may be

present in other areas.

Correction of the problem

may require the services of a

local propane gas utility

company or contractor.

H. What do you do after the

problem has been corrected?

On re-entering the premises after an alarm:

1. Turn the 12 Volt supply off for ten

seconds, and then turn it on again.

2. After ten minutes (during which the

alarm may sound once or twice and

the yellow light may flash), test the

detector to make sure that the detector
