INTRODUCTION

This product is a detector designed to identify gas leaks.

GAS DETECTOR DESCRIPTION

Main features

• High reliability sensor
• Auto reset after alarm
• Induced gas – natural gas / LPG
• Indoor use, wall mounting

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION

1. Please confirm the induced gas is heavier than air or lighter than air. Gas heavier than air: LPG etc. Gas lighter than air: natural gas, marsh gas and etc.

2. Depending on the weight of the gas, choose the correct location of the gas detector. If the gas is heavier than the air, position the gas detector at 0.3 – 1.0 m up from the floor, over a range of max. 1.5 m of the gas source. If the gas is lighter than the air, position the gas detector at 0.3 – 1.0 m down from the ceiling, over a range of max. 1.5 m of the gas source.
   

3. Fasten the screws firmly into the wall, then hang the gas detector.

4. Avoid installing the gas detector near the following sources: direct air flow caused by wind, ventilators, open doors or windows, steam sources, oil vapor, etc.

5. The wires must have the correct size and color to avoid damages to the device or shortcircuit. A faulty wire connection may have repercussions in the event of an alarm due to gas leakage.

TERMINAL BLOCK

Wires configuration:

• Brown wire: (+)
• Blue wire: (-)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The gas detector can be used stand alone or with a wired gas valve.
USING THE GAS DETECTOR INDEPENDENTLY OR TOGETHER WITH A SOLENOID VALVE

1. Choose the right place to install the gas detector. Follow the installation instructions.

2. Power the gas detector to a 230V source. During the priming period of the sensor, for about 3 minutes, the green LED will remain lit and the red LED will blink. After this period, the detector will enter the normal operating mode.
   The green light stays on for the entire duration of operation.

3. If the detector identifies a gas leak, the red LED will light and the siren will sound continuously. If the detector is connected to an solenoid valve, it will transmit to it an impulse that will cause this device to stop the gas supply.
   The gas detector will return to its initial state of operation after the gas dispersion or after restarting the detector.

4. If the yellow LED is lit – indicates an internal sensor error. Disconnect power and contact a service center.

TESTING THE PRODUCT

To test an installed gas detector, you can spread in the air a bit of lighter gas to about 5 cm from the detector gas slots. CAUTION: Frequent testing may cause sensitivity reduction. The detector will interrupt the alarm and return to the normal mode after the gas density drops below the alarm level.

PROCEDURES IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM

The gas detector enters the alarm condition if the gas density inside the room exceeds the minimum alarm level (20% LEL).
Proceed as follows:

1. Close the gas supply immediately
2. Open the window and let air quickly penetrate into the room
3. Close any source of fire and do not use anything that could cause fire, for example lighters, matches
4. Avoid lighting any electrical equipment
5. Try to find the exact location where the gas leak occurs and immediately notify the specialized institutions or a qualified person

NOTICE

1. The gas detector must be installed and connected correctly.
2. The gas detector must be supplied with a current source.
3. Regularly maintain the detector as directed.
4. Test the detector every six months.
5. For various reasons, such as changing environmental conditions, disruption of electricity, or fraudulent action on the electronic system, the product may not work properly. The user is advised to take all safety precautions.

CONNECTING THE GAS VALVE AND THE GAS SENSOR

Connecting the gas sensor with the gas valve can be done using the plug & play connector. Both products can be adapted for other valves / sensors if changing the connections system.
Cable recommendations:

1. Cable type: two-wire, 2 x 0.3 mm² or higher
2. Cable length < 20 meters
