HELP! Alarm going off

I have a COI output alarm going off. Not sure what that is and can't find anything about it in the owner's manual.

Do u mean CO alarm? Carbon Monoxide? Please be very careful, if it truly is carbon monoxide you need to stay Out of that trailer until you get the source of the gas repaired.

Assume it’s real. Get everyone out of the RV leave door open and go to you Propane tanks and turn them off. The CO Detector info is in my owners manual.

Carbon monoxide is orderless and colorless. Many times the alarm is alerting to low battery. Too low for it to work. Have use/store in use and test battery voltage. Are you on shore power is also helpful info for us trying to help.

Not CO, it is like this link. COI Output. Says level in tank 2 is critically low. Tank 1 is 100% so I cut off tank 2 and turned arrow to tank 1 but the alarm on the Czone panel keeps going off. I can hit acknowledge and the alarm will go of for approx. 5 minutes then come back on.

Can you do a system reset? Sounds like a glitch. Not familiar with the CZONE stuff and there is very little info online unfortunately.
Even less about the AS specific CZONE system.

Unplugged from shore power and did battery disconnect. Waited 5 minutes and got the same alarm.

I'm having a hard time understanding how I can have an alarm for low level in a lp tank that is not selected and is turned off. Any thoughts?

If I unplugged the wire going to the tank that is almost empty would that stop the alarm?

No.
It will alarm, and continue alarming until you fill the tank. If you unplug the connector, the alarm will be for a bad connection. And it will continue until you refill the tank and connect the plug.

No, that is not true. Disconnect the tank sensor and the Czone will ignore it. I had this happen to me. It stopped the alarm.

Also, if you blew through a tank of gas quickly, you probably have your Alde set to propane priority. Change that to electric priority.

Your tank connector should automatically move to the full tank on it's own. The sensor will still read empty on the 1st tank, but you should still have gas from the second without manually having to change it.

JC told me to disconnect the sensor when this happened to me. There is no solution other than this to stop it from popping up. They need to fix that.

No I had it set to electric priority like you instructed me to do but I had it running at my house for about seven weeks with us sleeping in it a few nights a week and using as many of the systems as we could just to get use to everything before we made this first trip that we are on.

Yes. It stops the alarm for low lp.
Then it will alarm for no connection.

Hmmmm - mine shows it's not connected but it does not show an alarm. My trailer is not with us so I cannot test it.

Mine has been unplugged for about 30 minutes now and no alarm. Is there a way to verify that your tanks have switched over automatically?

Yep! Get your manual out and read about the LP switch. There is a green band that shows if the tanks are full and its made the switch.

And just for the record
If the CO alarm is going off (which it isn't in this case), Yes! you need to open doors and windows, but the alarm goes off at a safe warning level. If you are actually sanding in the trailer and the CO alarm is ringing, then the CO is not high enough to panic. If the CO was so dangerously high that you should run, you probably couldn't!! CO ties up the hemoglobin in your blood and blocks absorption of Oxygen. The result of lethal exposure is nearly instantaneous; you drop period...no chance of getting out.. Thankfully CO alarms are set to tell you something is wrong and have a look at fixing the problem.
CO alarms are notorious for false alarms, whether battery or a dead or faulty cell, but take heed when one goes off...don't unplug it like a smoke detector.
