Title: Power to propane detector
Post by: RV Mike on February 08, 2021, 05:15:40 pm

Hey there Foretravelers,
I'm replacing my Safe T Alert Propane/LP gas detector. Anyone have an idea of how I might cut power to the old one? Can't find any fuses labeled for it. I've turned off the coach and basement switches and main breaker but the led indicator is still lit.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm pretty sure they hard wire those without possible interruption

Yup, just cut the wires-- one, then the other.

After first is cut, put a butt connector on it. Same for second.

Then attach wires from new detector to other end of the butt connector.

Detectors are wired to house battery bus bar circuit-breaker on bay wall behind white cover. Detectors & fridge 12 volts are not controlled by salesman switch or any other switch.

We put small 12v toggle switches next to each detector to cut power for full reset each detector on false alarms.

Thanks guys! I think butt wiring seems simple enough for now to stop beeping. Thanks Barry/Cindy for the hint about the bus bar. I might inspect a bit to see about adding a switch for future use.
