Atwood 36681 RV Carbon Monoxide / Propane Leak Detector / Alarm

The Atwood 36681 RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Leak Detector is a multifunctional safety device designed to protect you while on the road. Meeting all UL2034, UL1484, and CSA 6.19-01 requirements for gas safety alarms, this detector is specifically engineered to detect hazardous levels of both carbon monoxide (CO) and liquid propane gas (LP) in your recreational vehicle. As a replacement unit, it seamlessly integrates into your RV's existing safety system, providing enhanced protection against potentially life-threatening gas accumulations.

• Safety Standards: Meets all UL2034, UL1484, and CSA 6.19-01 requirements for gas safety alarms.
• Dual Detection: Equipped with sensors for both carbon monoxide and liquid propane gas.
• Efficient Design: Operates on a supply voltage of 12 VDC and has a low current draw of 17mA.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that is produced as a byproduct of incomplete combustion. Sources within an RV that can produce CO include fuel-burning appliances such as generators, cooking equipment, and heating systems. Inhalation of elevated levels of CO can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and in severe cases, can result in death. The CO sensor within the combination detector continuously samples the air and activates an alarm when the CO concentration reaches a level that could be hazardous to human health.

Liquid propane is a highly flammable gas that is commonly used in RVs for cooking, heating, and sometimes for refrigeration. Unlike CO, propane has an odor; however, it can still accumulate to dangerous levels without being noticed, especially during sleep. A leak or malfunction in the propane system can result in gas buildup that presents an explosion risk. The LP sensor in the combination detector is designed to identify elevated levels of propane and sound an alarm, thereby giving occupants the opportunity to vacate the area and address the issue.
