Well... the LP detector is located under the table (one of the few safe places in the r-pod where a dog can get out from underfoot) and its pretty much at butt level to the poor beast while she's laying down.  Every now and then she'll get comfortable in her fort under there and accidentally set off the alarm Ouch]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:20:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5653&PID=55318#55318 2015 Carbon Monoxide Sensor : Originally posted by Outbound..I've... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5653&PID=55315#55315 Author: techntrek

Have things changed?  On my r-pod, I have a separate LP detector (hard wired into the system), separate CO detector (battery operated), and separate smoke detector (also battery operated).

Anyway...  The LP detector isn't particularly easy to clear.  The button on the LP detector is for testing and won't reset the detector, neither will cycling the power to the detector.  Generally, for me, getting the damnable thing to quiet down involves opening all the windows and doors and getting on my hands and knees and repeatedly blowing across the detector.

I've never had a genuine LP alarm.  But, it has been set off (many times) by my dog farting in the vicinity of the detector.  I've also found that plumbing antifreeze sets it off, so I'll make sure to leave the door and several windows open while winterizing and dewinterizing the trailer.  Apart from that, I suspect that some cleaning supplies and perhaps alcohol (or medicinal rubbing alcohol) could set it off as well.

If the battery was connected while in storage, the sensor may have drained it and you will then get a "low voltage" situation that will set the alarm off. It should be fine after the battery is charged. Most of us disconnect and/or remove the battery while in storage so it doesn't get discharged by the draw from the sensor. ]]> Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:54:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5653&PID=55266#55266 2015 Carbon Monoxide Sensor : I picked up my 179 from storage... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5653&PID=55257#55257 Author: lillypad

I picked up my 179 from storage today and once I got home the CO/LP sensor started beeping. The propane is not even connected. I pulled the fuse, reset it and I'm still getting a chirp. The battery looks good and I am now plugged in to the house. The sensor its self doesn't seem to take any batteries, its hard wired.

What on earth could be tripping it? Its four months old!
