Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my MTI Industries alarm to ensure it’s working?
Test the alarm weekly by pressing the test button or following the manual’s instructions; for gas detectors, use a safe gas source to trigger the sensor and confirm both audible and visual alarms activate.
How long do MTI Industries alarms last before needing replacement?
Most MTI Industries alarms have a service life of 5 years, with sealed battery models designed to last the full period without battery replacement.
What should I do if my MTI Industries alarm sounds?
Immediately turn off all gas appliances, extinguish flames, ventilate the area, evacuate, and locate the source of the leak; do not re-enter until the issue is resolved and the area is safe.
What does it mean if my alarm is beeping but there is no gas present?
If the alarm sounds after its initial three-minute warm-up cycle without gas present, the sensor may be contaminated or the battery voltage may be low (typically below 8V DC). You can attempt to press the Test/Mute switch and wait 90 seconds for a recheck, but if the malfunction signal—often an alternating red and green LED—persists, the unit should be replaced.
Where is the best place to install an MTI Industries propane detector?
Because propane is heavier than air, MTI Industries recommends installing propane detectors in a low position, generally between 4 and 20 inches from the floor. The detector should be placed near potential leak sources, such as a furnace, water heater, or stove, to ensure the fastest possible detection of hazardous gas levels.
