A new noise?

[Rick Coleman]

Currently enjoying a short stay at Ocean Mesa, a new RV park adjacent to El Capitan Canyon, about 20 miles North of Santa Barbara. Yesterday afternoon we heard a double "chirp" coming from the area of the inverter/surge Guard/Direct TV unit/tank level guage apprpximately every 5 minutes. All seems o.k.. Any ideas? This noise is getting old, especially in the night hours.

Is your smoke alarm in the same general area--if so, its probably time for a new 9v battery...dean

[EngineerMike]

Rick- I had that. Check your AGS for an alarm or pending alarm, then find the screen that clears alarms, & clear alarms. Sometimes I plug in where the difference in voltage between legs on the incoming 240V service bothers the inverter. And sometimes there is an alarm the purpose or source of which I can't figure out. So far, I have cleared the alarms & the phantom goes away.

[Rick Coleman]

Scout- I did check the smoke alarm battery and it was o.k.

Mike- I'll look into that.

However, after 18 hours of quiet chirps, the bird mysteriously disappeared!

Rick -
if it's in the area, the propane alarm could be telling you that the battery is low.

Mike, where is the "clear Alarm" located? Is that up in the sceen with the pac man game?

[EngineerMike]

Go to AGS panel, hit Enter, arrow down to System Panel & hit Enter.
Arrow down to Clear Faults/Warnings, hit Enter (I don't recall if you have to hold Enter down rather than just hit it once).
