interesting issue with Propane / CO detector
I have a new, 2017 TT with a combo Propane/CO detector. We have been camping with it since the last week in Dec.
One week ago, at 3AM of course, the propane alarm went off. I reset it and it would go the 5 minute reset period and start up again. No smell of propane. I was pretty sure there was no leak. After about 4-5 resets I turned off the propane and lit the range burner and ran it till the gas was out. Sensor still went off. I finally just disconnected the detector, again this was 3AM. Well, the next day I checked the voltage, about 13.3 at the detector. I hooked the detector back up. No alarm. Cut gas back on, no alarm.
Well, almost exactly one week later, last night, again at 2:30AM it went off again. I went through the same procedure as above. Alarm would not quit. I disconnected it again. This morning hooked it back up and no alarm. Waited 2 hours and cut gas back on. No alarm. It has now been about 12 hours and no alarm. Guess it is waiting till 2:30-3:00AM LOL.
Alarm is a safe t alert combo model which is pretty common. I read the paperwork and according to the indicator lights it is working properly. I think there is something wrong with the unit and disconnecting it somehow resets it. Really strange it has only gone off without stopping 2 days and they were 1 week apart.
Actually it has gone off about three times other than the above, but for known reasons. Once I had sprayed some ant spray and the other 2 times my GF was using some hairspray or something similar. So we know it does detect. In these cases venting the TT stopped the alarm.
Sorry for the long post but this is really weird. Anyone have a similar experience or advice?
