What is this little beeping thing?

It is most likely the on/off electric valve that shuts off the LP supply to
your LP appliances.

Mounted below the refrigerator near the floor in my FC kitchen is some
sort of detector/alarm device. 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.

What is this thing?

Hi Scott,

Could it be your LP Gas alarm/monitor?
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???

Propane sniffer/shutoff. It is supposed to activate that big in-line valve
behind the refer when there is a leak detected.

Scott, that is a propane detector, the little switch beside it pushes
in and the led "should" glow green. 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. (Elmer Fudd)

Scott, I think you will find that the short beeps are probably caused by low
battery voltage to the sensor.
