This evening, all of the sudden, our Propane Gas Leak Detector started alarming. No appliances were running with propane gas at the time. Windows were open and fans were on at the time.
I grabbed the portable gas sniffer I had bought at CW. Sniffed all over the inside of the trailer, under the refer, outside the trailer around the gas lines, tanks, valves, regulator etc. Nothing.
The detector would not stop. Kept muting it, retesting around the room, under the stove top etc. Nothing.
I pulled the unit (CCI Controls model 7770.2) out of the wall and sniffed behind the wall too (detector works front and back per the manual). Earlier, I could not determine which 12 volt fuse that fed the unit and I didn't want to play fuse roulette. When I pulled the unit out of the wall and pulled the wires and connections out to snip the hot wire, I found a blade style fuse holder with a 1 amp fuse in it. So for now, the unit is off by way of removing the fuse.
Came in from a campfire and walk tonight and sniffed the trailer with the portable detector and nothing. We'll put the fuse back in before bed and see what the unit does.
Oh, I also blew all the dust out of the unit with air - front and back. No help. I think I have a bad unit. Planning to call CCI on Monday to see what they say.
Anyone else had this issue? Anyone else have other ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
