ABOUT YOUR LP GAS DETECTOR: Liquid Propane (LP)
Gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest point which
is generally the floor of your coach. The detector is also
sensitive to other fumes such as hair spray of which most
contain butane as the propellant. Butane, like propane, is
heavier than air and will settle to the floor level where it will
be detected.
Other combustibles which will be detected include liquor,
alcohol, deodorants, colognes, perfumes, wine, adhesives,
lacquer, kerosene, gasoline, glues, and most cleaning agents
and the propellants of aerosol cans. Most fumes from these
chemicals are lighter than air and float upwards. They will not
be detected by your gas detector unless sprayed or exposed
directly into the sensor. However, if a strong cleaning agent
is used on the floor, the alert may sound and turn off the gas
valve. If this occurs, complete your cleaning and air out your
coach before resetting the detector.
Your gas detector is powered by your RV battery and/or your
converter. It draws less current than drawn by one instrument
panel lamp. Your detector will operate to detect gas and
continue your gas service until your battery is drained down
to 10 volts. (Your low battery condition is 10.4 volts). When
your battery has been drained down, the gas will be turned
off. The only way to reset the detector and restore the gas
service is to recharge your battery. Check all pilots after
restoring gas service.
If the power source is disconnected, or if the power is
otherwise interrupted, the detector light will go out and the
gas will be shut off. When the power source is reconnected,
the detector will alarm and the gas will remain off until the
detector is reset. The detector can only be reset when power
is present. The gas cannot be turned on unless the detector
is powered and the air is free of combustible vapors.

HOW TO OPERATE: When gas service is required, turn
the gas detector on by sliding its switch up to the ON position.
A pinging or ticking sound will be heard. This is the warm-up
and self-check mode. After 20 to 60 seconds, the green GAS
ON indicator will begin to flash indicating the gas valve is
open from your LP gas tank to your gas appliances. LIGHT
ALL PILOT LIGHTS. Slide the switch to the OFF position to
turn off the gas detector and close the gas valve. If the
detector has gone unused for an extended period of time, it
may produce an alarm sound at the end of the warm-up. If
this occurs, reset the gas detector and turn it back on.
If LP gas contacts your gas detector, your gas detector will
sound the alarm and turn off the gas valve. The alarm will
continue to sound until the detector is turned off. The gas
flow will remain off until the detector is reset and the gas
vapors are no longer present. Should this occur, air out your
coach, then reset your gas detector. If gas is still present
when reset, the alarm will again sound. Have a qualified LP
Gas Dealer or RV Service Center make the necessary
repairs to the source of the gas leak. The detector will
detect LP gas and sound an alert at 1/5th the LEL (Lower
Explosion Level) for LP gas. This device is intended for
detection of LP gas only.
TO TURN OFF: Slide the switch to the OFF (reset) position
to turn off the gas detector and close the gas valve. Always turn
off the propane at the tank when the coach is not in use.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE: Your gas detector is an
electronic instrument designed to provide years of trouble
free service. To check its sensitivity to LP gas, use a butane
lighter as follows: Do not rotate the flint wheel, just press the
gas release button and point the gas exit jet into the gas
sensing area under the flashing green light of your gas
detector. The alert will sound and the GAS ON indicator will
cease to light indicating the gas is turned off. To reset, turn
the detector off, fan the gas sensing hole to clear the gas
vapors, and then reset the detector. Check all pilot lights.
This test procedure should be repeated every
week or everytime the coach is taken on a trip,
whichever occurs first.
NOTE: After the gas has been turned off, the pilot lights may burn
for several minutes to exhaust the gas from the gas piping.

MOST COMMON CAUSES OF
APPARENT MALFUNCTION:
1. New Coach Odor: The glues and other materials
used in manufacturing the coach produce vapors
which will be detected and cause the gas to be turned
off. Air out the coach thoroughly and reset the
detector.
2. Keeps Beeping: The gas detector beeps about
once every minute - even when it is turned off. The
problem is a weak battery in the smoke detector
which causes the smoke detector to produce short
beeps which sound similar to the start up pinging
sound of the LP Gas Detector. This is a high pitch
and bounces off the walls, making its location very
hard to pinpoint. Replace the battery in the smoke
detector.
3. Hair spray triggers the detector: Most aerosol hair
sprays use butane gas as the propellent. Butane, like
propane, is heavier than air and will settle to the floor
level where it will be detected. The detector is doing
its job as butane is combustible.
4. NO GAS: Detector is turned on but there is no gas.
A. Is the battery fully charged ?
B. Is there any LP gas in the LP gas tank ?
C. Is the hand valve on the LP tank turned on ?
5. The detector will not set: This means that after the
detector is turned on and completes its warm-up
period, it goes into its gas alert mode. See item 1,
"New Coach Odor" in this column. This will also
occur in the presence of gas, a low battery, or may
be caused by unsecured detergent containers or clean-
ing rags frequently stored in cabinets behind the
detector.
6. Other Gases: Other gases which can cause the
detector to respond with an alert, include the vapors
from any fuel, liquor, alcohol, deodorants, colognes,
perfumes, wine, adhesives, lacquer, and most clean-
ing agents.
After reviewing the above, if the problem still exists,
call CCI for assistance.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The detector is powered by
two power sources. This may be two batteries or one battery
and one converter. When using a converter, connect to the
"filtered" side of the converter. The detector will operate
from the source with the highest voltage. This means that if
one battery should fail, the detector will operate from the
second battery or the converter. When the detector is turned
on, the circuit is tested and the air sampled for traces of
combustible gas. If all conditions are correct, the detector
sends a pulse to the valve. This pulse opens the valve and
allows gas to flow into the gas piping of the coach. After the
pulse has opened the valve, the detector holds the valve
open with a very low voltage. This is done to conserve on
battery power. If the converter is not connected and the
battery is weak, the valve will not open. If the battery drains
down while the detector is operating, the valve will be closed.
BATTERY DRAIN: The 7719 draws 162 mA. (0.162
Amps) when turned on. This is less current than drawn by one
instrument panel lamp. If left operating for a period of
months, the battery will drain. The detector should be turned
off when the coach is not in use.
SERVICE: See your RV Dealer or a qualified LP Gas Service
Center should service be required. If they are not familiar with this
product, have them call CCI for assistance. If service is not
available in your area, call CCI, you will be given a return
authorization number. To remove the detector, first disconnect
the battery and converter. Then remove the two mounting screws
which hold the detector to the wall. Pull the detector forward and
disconnect the three wires connecting the detector. Tape over the
three wires left in the wall to prevent them from shorting. Mail the
detector to the address on the back of the detector. Allow 10 days
for service and return. Be sure to include your return address and
a daytime phone number with area code.
