Safe t alert

SAFE-T-a ALERT carbon monoxide/propane gas detector: 2005 Georgetown. Have replaced it several times. Just alarms for no reason. There is no propane leak as we have checked all options. Anyone else experienced this

Yes that seems to be a common problem. Sometimes it is caused by low voltage from the battery.

What is the battery voltage? If the voltage drops below the level needed to operate the detector, it will alert. If you leave the house battery connected and the unit is not powered ( so batteries are being charged) for more than a week or two, it will draw the battery low enough to set off the LV alarm

While it is alarming, hook up to shore power. If it stops it the batteries

Had weird experience with my safety-alert. This was a new one old one that was replaced was in the coach for14 years. installed new on in april took the rig to Ft Myers, then Lazydays then mims and for 11 days straight like it was on a timer it beeped a soft code at exactly 12:01am battery voltage 13.71 volts took it back to camping world and replaced it
never happened again. It was not a true Alarm jst a soft tone.

Puppy sets off alarm

Just in case you have a pet. Our 6 mos old collie lays in the hallway next to the propane alarm and lays again test button. So at 2 am he sets off the alarm. It has happened 3 times. Now we put trash can in front of button. No loud alarms now. Good luck safe travels.
