Remove the paper covering the adhesive backing on the sensor-mounting surface and press the sensor into position on a previously cleaned surface. Install with two (2) screws provided.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to use any other manufacturer’s sensor or previously installed sensors.

Sensor Location

CAUTION: Propane is heavier than air and will settle. Therefore it is important that a location be selected that is as low as practical and as near the appliance as is possible. Keep sensor dry.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is lighter than air and will rise. Therefore, it is important that a location be selected that is within nine (9”) inches (22.86cm) of the ceiling height. Do not locate sensor directly over cooking or heating appliances. Keep sensor dry.

Solenoid Installation

Propane (LPG) — Mount the solenoid in-line on the tank side of the LPG regulator as close to the tank as is practical. The tank itself should be mounted outside the cabin or crew quarters to avoid the possibility of gas accumulation due to a leak between the tank and the solenoid valve.

CNG — Because of the high tank pressure of CNG, the solenoid valve MUST be installed after the CNG regulator and as close to the regulator as practical. The tank

and regulator should be mounted outside the cabin or crew quarters to avoid the possibility of gas accumulation due to a leak between the tank and the solenoid valve,

NOTE: DO NOT over-tighten fittings. Doing so will cause the solenoid valve to malfunction. After installation, check

all fittings for leaks with a soapy water solution - NEVERFigure 3 use flame to check for leaks. Use 2 wrenches when tightening

connections to avoid twisting the valve and causing damage.
