Propane System Issue

[David Hanvy]

Hi Bill, I have determined that there is no power to the detector. I
pulled it out and applied power to the unit direct from the battery
and it lights up. Now I need to find the incoming power source to
the gas detector. I have a call in to Wanderlodge but I plan to
check the CCI Controls web site.
