What is this little beeping thing? - krminyl@... - 06-28-2006 23:52 It is most likely the on/off electric valve that shuts off the LP supply to your LP appliances.

It has a small red LED light that is always on, and a 'test' button that emits a high-pitched alarm when pushed. What is this an alarm for? Every once in a while, it will beep once. Usually the beep seems to happen when I am operating on battery power and the water pump is activated. It doesn't do it every time. I wondered if it might be some sort of low battery voltage alarm, but it will sometimes let out the beep even when the batteries are fully charged. It has never gone off any other way.

Depending upon your model and various LP accessories, often there is an electrical shut off outside near the diesel fill and LP fill, to permit all gas appliances to be shut off during LP filling and diesel filling. That shut off could be called "the Master shut off." Also, there is normally another internal monitor/shut off and reset, which beeps and shuts down all LP flow should a leak in LP be detected at floor level within the coach. Remember, LP is heavier than air so testing/monitoring is completed at low points. Sometimes the LP detector will alarm from odors besides LP. Have any dogs???

This is also a shut-off for the propane, should it detect propane. So push the switch in and it should glow green and the refer will work on propane. If you try this and it continues to glow red and beep shut the main propane off at the tank and further investigate...as a old "hero" once said ..."be vewey. vewey careful.
