smartwares FGA-13410 Gas Detector Instruction Manual
GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this Smartwares combustible gas detector! Please read these instructions carefully before using the detector. Retain this information in a safe and easily accessible place for future use and maintenance. If you have any questions or if you are looking for additional information about your gas detector, please visit our website www.smartwares.eu.
Make/model number: FGA-13410
Description:
- The FGA-13410 household standalone combustible gas detector adopts high quality gas sensor; It is made with high performance MCU and advanced electronic elements as well as sophisticated technologies; Its software and hardware technologies enable it to monitor sensor failure simultaneously when detecting gas leak concentration, which, at the same time, brings a high degree of safety and reliability.
- This detector is suitable for installing in residential houses with potential gas leakage, it can consecutively monitor indoor combustible gas concentration, when the gas concentration reaches its alarming value, it will send out a sound and light alarm. It will help you to take immediate action to prevent fire, blast and injury accidents from happening.
- Standard implemented: EN 50194-1:2009
IMPORTANT:
- Warning: The device is not intended to detect smoke or fire.
- Caution: The device may not be painted or covered because this may cause loss of functionality.
- Warning: The device must be replaced no later than 5 years after the installation date or when this is indicated by the Service Life indicator.
Double-insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two insulation systems are provided instead
of an earth wire. No earthing means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for earthing be added to the appliance.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should only be done by qualified service personnel. The
replacement parts for a doubleinsulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is labelled with the words
‘CLASS II’ or ‘DOUBLE INSULATED”. It can also be identified with the double
insulation symbol.
This product complies with conformity requirements of the applicable European regulations or directives.
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local Authority or local store for recycling advice.

INSTALLING THE GAS DETECTOR
Before mounting your Gas detector, please stick the rating label in your own
language (if included) to the detector.
This detector is suitable for indoor environment only, please install it in
places with potential gas leakage. It should be installed horizontally 1m~4m
from the gas appliance and vertically >0.3m from the ceiling.
- The device should only be installed by a competent person.
Avoid areas as below:
- Areas of ventilation inlet/outlet, exhaust fan, doors/windows with strong air flow.
- Areas with moisture and water drops.
- Areas right above heat source or water steam.
- Areas above gas appliances.
- Areas easy to be polluted.
- Areas covered by obstacles.
- If the room is to be painted or refurbished, please install the detector after the refurbishment or painting work is done.
Wall mount installation
- Choose a place on the wall suitable for installing the detector.
- Use the screws supplied to fix the installation baseplate onto the wall, with the attachment pins facing upwards.
- Power on the detector and check to ensure it works normally.
- Attach the detector onto the baseplate by aligning the attachment pins with the holes on the device and sliding it downwards until it clicks.
USE
-
Connect the detector to the power source, the LED ring indicator will flash green, and the detector will enter a 3-minute preheating status.
During preheating, the detector cannot detect gas leakage, after preheating the detector will enter normal detection mode and the LED ring indicator will remain illuminated. -
When the gas concentration value in the air reaches the set alarming point, the detector will enter alarming mode, the LED ring indicator will flash red and a beeping alarm will be sounded.
-
A gas leakage can be detected by the device or by scent. Follow the steps below if a gas leak is detected by scent or an by an alarm.
What to do in the event of an alarm/ gas detection.
In case of an alarm/gas detection please shut off the gas supply, open the
windows, evacuate the premises immediately and do not turn on any electrical
appliances (including cell phones). If necessary, please ask for gas experts
to eliminate the gas leakage. Only enter the building again when the problem
has been solved and the gas has disappeared.
- In the alarm state, when the gas concentration value is at a safe level, the detector will disarm the alarm automatically.
Service life indicator
If the Service LED Indicator is illuminated yellow and a constant beeping is
heard, it means the detector is defected and cannot detect correctly, if this
happens please visit our Customer Service at www.smartwares.eu for more
information.
- Testing your detector
It is important that the functionality of your detector is tested every 6 months. To test the detector, short-press the test button once, the LED ring indicator will flash red and 4 beeping alarms will be sounded. If the detector does not alarm normally please visit our Customer Service at www.smartwares.eu for more information.

MAINTAINING YOUR GAS ALARM
To maintain your device in proper working order, it is recommended that you:
- Test your alarm at least once every 6 months.
- Clean the device regularly to prevent dust build up. This can be done using a soft damp cloth once per month. Clean gently around the front grilled section and sides.
- Never use cleaning solutions on your alarm. Simply wipe with a damp cloth.
- Do not paint the alarm.
- Do not block or cover the alarm’s ventholes with paste adhesive or other materials.
ATTENTION
When scouring or stripping a wooden floor, painting, wallpapering or using adhesive or aerosol, you should remove the device and keep it in a safe place to prevent damaging the sensor. High concentrations of the following substances can damage the sensor, which often results in a false alarm: methane, propane, isopropyl butane, ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphate and sulphur dioxide. Also, aerosol sprays, alcoholic products, paint, solvents, adhesive, hair spray, aftershave, perfume and certain cleaning agents can cause damage.
