Thanks for your responses. Each time the alert goes off, it beeps once every 30 seconds, meaning that the alarm is defective, not that CO or propane are present. It appears that the lysol that was sprayed under the fridge a couple of years ago still lingers. Is there any way of getting rid of that "gas"? I've rinsed that area out numerous times and now when I hook up the alarm it takes about 5 days before it sounds the alarm, so it seems that it takes a while for the "gas" to build up. Initially the alarm would sound off within a few hours of hooking it up so things are improving but it is a little unnerving not knowing when it will surprise meant my dog.
That aerosol gas if LONG GONE!
when I was a newbie mine went off like yours is couldn't figure it out. Everyone telling me it was a bad detector.:R
It was the 'low voltage' alert. Let it sit and the battery goes low from being a bad battery and the beeping would start to alert 'low voltage'.
Drive the MH charges the battery so the beeping stops. Park it with bad coach battery and beeping will eventually start again to alert 'low voltage if the battery is bad and low and/or the converter is not charging the battery.
The battery does 'not' have to be dead for the 'low voltage' alert to start beeping. It is what it is an alert that it is not getting a consistent 12v.
2 items on an RV will make a detector beep low voltage alert.
1. Converter
2. Coach battery
OR
Both.
