LP GAS DETECTOR  
 
In the kitchen area of your unit, approximately six inches above the floor, 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. 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 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.  
 
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 detector 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.
