Safe-T-Alert 40-411: Propane Gas Detector & Methane Gas Detector

Features	Description
MADE IN THE USA Please Remember: Gas detectors sense ONLY uncombusted gas. They provide NO protection against Carbon Monoxide which is produced as a by-product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Click here for the companion CO detector. Safe-T-Alert's 40-411 Dual Liquid Propane Gas (LP) and Natural Gas (Methane) Detector was developed to provide protection from hidden gas leaks that can explode with a spark. The Safe-T-Alert Propane Methane Detector should be located near sources of a potential gas leak. For example, install the detector near a water heater, furnace, or stove/oven that is heated by natural gas, propane gas, or methane gas. Unlike some combustible gas detectors, this unit does NOT V.directly plug into a wall outlet. The 65 inch cord permits proper mounting near the source of gas for more accurate detection. Propane gas is heavier than air. The detector should be mounted within 4 to 20 inches of the floor to protect against propane gas leaks. Methane gas (natural gas) is lighter than air. Mount the detector within 6 inches from the ceiling or on the ceiling at least 12 inches from a wall. The STA-40-411 uses the latest microprocessor technology. The Underwriters Laboratories tests approved residential/RV usage only for Propane Gas and Methane Gas. This unit also detects acetone, alcohol, butane, and gasoline, all of which be present in your home. Caution: Places where the gas alarm should NOT be installed: DO NOT install behind furniture, drapes, in closets or in areas that will block airflow to the detector. DO NOT install within 12 inches of exterior doors, windows, heating or cooling return cents, or other drafty areas or corners. DO NOT install in or on outside walls or within 12 inches of corners. DO NOT connect to a wall switch controlled power outlet or to a ground fault circuit. Units require minimal maintenance. Test the circuit weekly. Test by pushing test switch. The alarm will sound and the LED will flash red. If an alarm sounds: Turn off all gas appliances; extinguish all flames and smoking materials. Evacuate, leaving doors and windows open. Turn off the propane tank/ central natural gas valve. Determine and repair the source of the leak. Seek professional help if necessary. Caution: This unit requires power. This unit indicates presence of propane or methane gas ONLY at the sensor. Explosive gas may be present in other areas. This detector may not be heard. If mounted in a remote location, behind closed doors, or in a home with a person with hearing impairment,the alarm may not be heard.
InteleCheck Circuit	Eliminates false alarms from momentary exposure to Propane Gas, Natural Gas, aerosol cleaners, hair spray and other flammable gases. An 8 second double-check circuit is used to distinguish a gas leak from a momentary gas exposure.
Long Life, Self Cleaning Sensor	Maintenance free built-in sensor. Sensor is tripped at less then 25% of the lower explosive limit for natural gas, propane gas, and butane.
Loud 85dB Alarm	Alerts for presence of a potentially dangerous gas leak.
Test/Reset Button	Will temporarily silence alarm during ventilation. Tests all detector functions with one touch. No Dangerous Gas Required.
Warranty	5 Year Limited Warranty
Installation	Attaches to wall with two screws. "Plug-it-in" installation
Micro Current Technology	Wall Transformer (120VAC to 12VDC) consumes only 3.8 watts of energy. I.E., only 33 Kwh per year costs less than US $3.00 per year to operate.
Power Alternatives	RV Models are available which operate on 12V DC.
Operational Temperature Range	-31°F to +150°F (-35°C to +66°C).
Operating Relative Humidity Range	15% to 93%
Approval	UL Listed as a "Single Station Propane/Methane Detector" to 1484 requirements. A Propane Gas / Natural Gas Alarms for Residential and Unconditioned Area Use. UL file number 151449. Use homes, and 'unconditioned' areas such as garages, boiler/furnace rooms, warehouses, barns, offices, etc.
Mute Circuit	Silence the alarm temporarily for two minutes. For added safety the Red LED will continue to flash and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds until the gas has cleared.
Re-Alarm During Mute	If gas re-enters the area during the Mute cycle, the detector sounds the alarm 4 times and the red LED will signal an new alarm condition.
Safe-T-Lock Malfunction Circuit	If a malfunction occurs, the detector flashes an alternating Red/Green visual signal and sounds once every 15 seconds. A malfunction cannot be over ridden by the Mute switch. This operating feature gives an immediate identification of the type of alarm and assists service and response personnel.
Test Circuit	Press test switch for a complete diagnostic test in an instant. No gas is required.
Detector Case Dimensions	5.5"W x 3"H x 1.4"D
