Carbon Monxide Sensor - Curt Sprenger - 12-29-2005 16:51
I'm getting ready to try the propane heaters to see if they work. Does
the 1987 PT38 come from the factory with a Carbon Monoxide sensor?

Yes and no. The sensor behind your breaker panel is listed as a CO
sensor, but it is intended to detect a fire in the breaker panel and
nothing else (assuming it is working properly), tied to the LP sensor
panel.
There is no original CO sensor for the heating system.

Thank you Jeff.
Next questions - Has anyone experience with the battery operated CO
sensor vs the hard wired? Wal-Mart sells a battery sensor. Camping World
sells a hard wired sensor. Is one CO sensor enough?

The hard-wired doesn't need batteries every year, and some of them
allow dual-power sources (APU battery & engine batteries for
example). I don't know if it is still made, but I have installed a
combination LP/CO detector to replace the original one (I believe it
became factory/standard in '88) which included an LP shutoff.
LP and CO are both heavier than air, makes a good dual-sensor under
the refrigerator.
I also feel more comfortable with a digital-readout type (110vac +
internal battery) such as the NightHawk brand from Menards et al just
for a "warm fuzzy" feeling, as a back-up.
