CAZONER Propane/Natural Gas Detector: Home Alarm for Methane, Butane, LPG, and LNG

John Johnston: I purchased this gas detector for use in an RV that sometimes is not hooked up to electricity. This is the only one I could find that runs from plugged in AC current or power bank DC. I recommend this detector except for one caveat. The detector draws very low current so my power bank kept automatically shutting off.
Researching, I found that most power banks will automatically shut off because they expect a higher current draw for charging phones and other devices. If you want to run this detector from a power bank, you should use a power bank that has a low current option. Watch out though many of these still shut off after a couple of hours.
An alternative is to charge something like a phone at the same time as running the detector. This will keep the power bank on but use more of the stored juice so the detector will not run as long. Some power banks will continue to support the low current detector even after the phone is unplugged. Mine continued to run the detector after unplugging the phone after 10 minutes. This varies by power bank so you need to experiment.
Another alternative is you could buy a keep alive device that plugs into the power bank to pull a larger...

Lara: This little thing alerted us of a gas leak in our oven. Gas company came out tonight, confirmed and stopped the leak. This thing works!

JM_Z: El aparato enciende como lo manifiesta en el instructivo. Sin embargo, al probarlo con Gas LP, no funcionó. No mostró cambio en la concentración de gas, como debería.

Gabriela: Su instalación es fácil, lo probé dejando salir gas de la estufa y funcionó muy bien la alarma de concentración de gas

Guylaine: Easy to use in our pick-up camper, but it needs to be pluged on electricity

RW: This natural gas detector is small but has nice features. I got it out of concern that small children could fiddle with the controls of a gas stove that has no lock-out mechanism. I like that the detector has both a color coding that can be seen at a distance and a digital readout to give a more precise indication of the concentration of gas in the air. We tested it with a butane lighter, and the alarm and color coding both work. I used the double-sided tape option to mount it on a wall. At first, I thought that I might need to get a longer power cord, but I was able to find an outlet within reach of the supplied cord. Yeah, the cord's running down the wall is not the most esthetically pleasing, but it sure beats having a gas accumulation launch the roof into low earth orbit.
