General Information
WARNING
PROPANE FUME DETECTORS ARE MEANT TO SERVE AS A SUPPLEMENTAL WARNING SYSTEM. IT IS
NOT MEANT TO REPLACE STANDARD SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
AROUND EXPLOSIVE GASES.
The P-1BS-R, P-1CS-R, and P-2BS-R Propane Fume Detectors are an effective means to monitor
propane fumes in a compartment or leaking fuel systems. In addition, these units have the ability
to control the flow of CNG/LPG to your appliances. The system uses a sensor, located in a place of
interest, and a central display unit that notifies you of the state of the system.

Operation of Xintex Propane Fume Detector(s)
There are 3 LEDs located on the Display Unit for each channel on the system, as well as an LED for
the Solenoid Valve status. The Green LED, located at the top, indicates that the system is
operational. The Yellow LED, located in the center, indicates that there is a Fault in the system.
This is to notify the user to check the connections and wire runs of the sensors. There may be a
break in the wiring or a disconnected sensor on that channel. The Red LED, located at the bottom,
indicates a fume buildup of 20% of the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) which is considered an alarm.
The alarm horn will sound when the Red LED is illuminated. The alarm horn will actuate, Solenoid
Valve will close, and the Solenoid Valve status LED will deactivate when the Red LED is
illuminated. Whenever the Solenoid Valve status LED is illuminated, the Solenoid Valve is open.
The alarm status will continue as long as the fume level remains at an elevated level. The alarm
horn may be silenced by pressing the “Check/Reset” button. The alarm will reactivate after 30
seconds as long as the Detector remains in alarm status. The problem should never be considered
corrected as long as the Red LED is illuminated.

Installation
Installing the Display Unit (P1BR-S01-D/P1CR-S01-D & P2BS-S01D)
The Display Unit should be located at the instrument panel, so that the visible and audible
indicators may be easily observed.
Drill a 2-1/16” hole to accommodate the P1BR-S01-D/P1CR-S01-D Display Unit.
Drill a 2-1/8” hole to accommodate the P2BS-S01-D Display Unit.
Insert Display Unit into hole and secure with the provided threaded mounting nut. A Trim Ring is
available if needed.
NOTE
DO NOT MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AT THIS TIME. THEY WILL BE ADDRESSED IN A LATER
SECTION.
Installing the Solenoid Valve for LPG Applications
The Solenoid Valve should be mounted on the tank side of the LPG regulator, as close to the tank
as practical. The tank itself should be mounted outside the cabin or crew quarters to avoid the
possibility of gas accumulation due to a leak.
NOTE
TIGHTEN TO 12-13 FT/LBS. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
NOTE
ALL PIPING MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS. USE SOAPY WATER SOLUTION ON ALL JOINTS. NEVER
USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Routing Sensor Cable(s) (FS-X01 CABLE XX’)
A 20 FT Sensor Cable is provided for each Propane Fume Sensor. The Sensor Cables should be
routed starting at the Display Unit, then to the pre-determined location of the Propane Fume
Sensor. Connect to the Display Unit using the attached quick-disconnect connectors. Take care
not to pinch, break, or cut the Sensor Cable or put too much stress on the connectors while
routing the cable. Secure the Sensor Cable with the appropriate hardware for the application.
NOTE
DO NOT CUT EXTENSION CABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE. DOING SO VOIDS THE PRODUCTS
WARRANTY. LONGER CABLES ARE AVAILABLE FROM 20 FT TO 100 FT.

Part Number 18143, E, 01/28/2020
Installation Continued
Installing Propane Fume Sensor(s) (FS-T01)
The Propane Fume Sensor should be located by the propane powered appliance, near the floor.
Avoid areas where damage may take place due to cleaning, mopping, kicking, or other physical
damage. Harsh chemicals should not be used to clean sensors.
Use the appropriate #8 mounting hardware to mount the Propane Fume Sensor in the desired
location. The rubber gasket should be installed between the sensor and the mounting surface.
Connect to the Extension Cable using the attached quick-disconnect connectors.
Electrical Connections (P1BR-S01-D/P1CR-S01-D & P2BS-S01-D)
The Display Unit operates on 9-30V DC. A Red and a Black 16 GA wire are provided for connecting
to the power source. Connect the Red wire to Power (+) with an inline 1.0 Amp fuse. Connect the
Black wire to Ground (-).
A 2A fused Yellow 16 GA wire is provided for connecting the Display Unit to the Solenoid Valve.
Connect the Yellow wire to the Solenoid Valve. Connect the positive (+) voltage to the Solenoid
Valve.
NOTE
UNITS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO JANUARY 01, 2018 DO NOT INCLUDE THE 2A FUSE. A
DEDICATED 2A FUSE OR BREAKER SHOULD BE USED TO POWER THE SOLENOID VALVE.
NOTE
IMPROPER CONNECTIONS WILL DAMAGE THE DISPLAY UNIT AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Testing the System Operation
The Propane Fume Detectors can be tested by pressing the “Check/Reset”button on the face of
the Display Unit. The Display Unit will cycle through the LEDs and the alarm horn will activate
while the LEDs cycle.
Unplug the Propane Fume Sensor from each channel of the Detection System one at a time. The
Yellow “Fault” LED should illuminate. If the Yellow LED does not illuminate, remove Display Unit
and return direct to manufacturer following the instructions at the back of this manual.
To test the Solenoid Control function, check that the flame of your appliance extinguishes when
the Solenoid Control function is turned OFF.

Part Number 18143, E, 01/28/2020
Testing the Propane Fume Sensors
WARNING
DO NOT USE A PROPANE SOAKED RAG OR A PARTIALLY FULL CONTAINER OF PROPANE TO TEST A
SENSOR. THE RAW PROPANE COULD IGNITE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
Test the Sensors by holding an unlit Butane lighter to the sensor. Within a few seconds, the Red
“Danger” LED should illuminate and the alarm horn will sound. Remove the lighter from the
Sensor and mute the alarm horn. After approximately one minute, the Red LED will shut off.
Maintenance
The system should be tested periodically in the fashion described in the previous sections. Due to
the harsh environmental conditions in marine applications, it is recommended to replace the
Propane Fume Sensors every 3-4 years.
In the Event of an Alarm
Immediately have all passengers and crew exit the passenger compartment and vessel if possible.
Ventilate the space being monitored.
Carefully check all fuel lines and other potential sources of propane fume leaks. If leaks are
identified, shut off fuel supply and make any necessary repairs.
