My alarms keeps dectecting carbonmixed. Am using this as natural gas. What am I missing to hook up ng

shouldn't be missing anything...you need to flip that switch under the cover in the back to NG and get a 3/8" nipple for the inlet on the bottom of the unit. I'm not sure if things can break and cause more unless it's not burning correctly and need some cleaning

the heater is pre-set at factory for propane...did you change from propane to natural gas as the instructions #2 ( Quick Guide say)?

It may very well be that you alarm is correctly detecting carbon monoxide or some NG. I would request you local fire department come and check for Carbon Monoxide or NG as they have more accurate instruments than your alarm. It may be that your alarm needs to be repositioned or replaced. Don't take a chance have the Fire Department check it out. Just call them when your alarm is sounding.:) BJ

My heater is hooked up to propane but the installer should have checked for leaks at the time it was hooked up. Surely they used the correct connector piece for ng. This model can use either one but has to be connected up properly with the correct connector piece. I would call them back. If you did not have a professional hook it up, you need to get one there ASAP to be sure you are safe. I have purchased 3 of the ProCom Vent-Free heaters over the years for different locations in the house and never had a problem but they were installed by professionals because safety is always #1 for my family and myself. My advise is to contact your professional installer to be sure you are safe. My heater is hooked up to propane but the installer should have checked for leaks at the time it was hooked up.

Make sure you bought the one for ng and not propane. I sure wouldn't burn it if your alarm keeps sounding.

This alarm, like most CO detectors, can sense CO at low levels, but as stated, the UL does not permit them to sound an alarm below 70 ppm. At levels between 30 and 70 ppm, it MAY sound an alarm after 30 DAYS, but by that point, you'd be seriously poisoned or dead. The UL standard does not adequately protect people from CO. If you want one that does, check out a Defender LL6070.

I just received my order of 2 CO400 alarms and one had 2 AA batteries and one has a 9 volt battery. I ordered the kind with the 2 AA batteries. I will check what I can do about getting the correct one with the AA batteries.

This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) detector; it is a dual smoke and fire detector. Where the old smoke detectors do not sense smoldering fires, this one does, using dual technology to "sense" a fire more quickly. You need a separate CO detector.

looks like its a NATURAL GAS detector..... will it detect other explosive gasses? dunno

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

From the manual... CO displays from 30 to 999 pm. Alarms at 70 ppm within 60 minutes, 150 ppm 10 - 50 minutes, 400 ppm 4-15 minutes. For methane displays "GAS" . Will alarm before gas reaches 25% of lower explosive limit.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

It seems like a regular CO sensor. don't know how well it works, and I only had it for a few months.

I tested mine by blowing propane at it from a propane torch - the delay was about 5-10 seconds. The alarm stayedon as long as I could stand to keep the propane going, and went off within 30 seconds after I stopped the propane. Haven't tested it with natural gas yet, and haven't had any gas leaks. I like having this unit on duty! I even bought an additional unit for the utility room.

Honestly, I'm still having trouble installing it. Everytime I even plug it in it starts going off. I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by now if it was legitimate carbon. I'm actually in the market for a new one because of the trouble I'm having.

You don't have too. It's built in, and trust me, quite audible! However, the system appears to be very good at detecting false alarms. EXP: At times when the system, when powering on, will not immediately recieve one of the sensors? The only acknowledgement is that specific sensor reading will flash for a short period. Once the reader recieves, the system functions normally. I echo Synergy Farmer, do not purchase this system if you expect customer service. It is worse than non-existent, trending toward Asians saving face. You will get bad promises, rather thn nothing at all?

Check propane levels, keep purging line of air, several attempts may be needed. Check exhaust for debris (mud dauber nest clogging). The quick connect will not help you. My refrigerator works fine on propane but not on electric! (new camper!)

Look for a combustible gas alarm instead such as the Kidde KN-COEG-3 or the SafetySiren Family Safety Combustible Gas Alarm.

This is a fuel burning appliance so carbon monoxide poisoning would be an issue. I wouldn't want to take the chance.

This was the beginning of the end of several service visits. Contact GE as this is an alarm that is a flaw. We had the same issue many times. Right after the filter was cleaned and dried properly the alarm continually went off. After contacting my service center, I was informed that a service call was needed. Sorry that I couldn't have a real solution oriented response.
