Smarter Living 6PDUW:L Smart WiFi Gas Detector Instruction Manual
Smart WiFi Gas Detector
Detects Natural Gas, Propane, and other Combustable Gases
*Please read the manual carefully before usage and keep it for future reference
Product Description
This device is a WiFi enabled, flammable gas alarm, which is used to detect any leakage of flammable gas and provide advance warning. When a flammable gas leak is detected and the concentration value set by the device is reached (7% LEL), the alarm will send an alarm signal. A loud audible alarm on the device will sound, and a notification will be sent to a phone which can be seen in the Smart Life APP.
This product is for indoor use where a gas leakage may occur, such as kitchens, garages, industrial shop, RV camper, or another location that stores or uses a combustible gas.

Installation Diagram
Before installation, please confirm the density of the gas which is desired to be monitored. If the gas density is heavier than air such as propane gas, the gas detector should be installed at a height of 0.3 – 1 meters above the ground, and within a 1.5 meters distance of the gas source.
If the gas is lighter than air such as natural gas, manufactured gas, methane and marsh gas, install the detector above the gas source, if possible, within a 1.5 meter distance of the gas source. The detector will still operate if it is installed next to a gas source, but more gas would need to be released to be detected.
How to Setup
-
Download the Smart Life APP from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple Store (iOS), or scan the provided QR code on the next page.
-
Insert the gas detector into power socket. The device will automatically enter network pairing mode, indicated by the green LED flashing quickly.
The device has 3 wifi network setup modes. The simplest mode is pairing via bluetooth. Enable bluetooth on your phone for automatic pairing mode via bluetooth. When following the setup steps on the next page, the device should be found and appear in the app, and can be added using the add button. If the bluetooth setup mode does not work, then try the EZ mode or AP mode. -
Create a user account or login to the Smart Life App. Then click “+” on the “Home” screen to add the device”. If the device appears, click on ADD. Otherwise, trying EZ mode setup by selecting the “Sensors” category from the left side menu, then “Gas Detector (WiFi)”.
-
To cycle the device into either “EZ Mode” pairing mode or “AP Mode” for connecting to WiFi, when device is powered on, use the pin to press the RESET button for more than 5 seconds. For the EZ Mode, the green LED will flash quickly. To enter into AP mode, reset the device again with the pin to toggle to the AP mode (the green LED will flash more slowly). In EZ Mode, enter the WiFI network name and WiFi password and follow the prompts.
-
If there is difficulty to connect via EZ Mode due to router incompatibility, put the device into AP mode via Step 4. Follow Step 3 to add device, then enter router WiFi and Password. Then in APP, select the “AP mode” option at the top right. Follow the instructions and click “Go to Connect. The phone’s WiFi network settings menu should open. Select the SmartLife-XXXX network and connect. Follow the prompts and the device should be added to the Wifi network and configured.
-
Once the network configuration is successful, click the gas icon to access the interface. If testing a gas source, a notification should appear in the Smart Life APP, and the corresponding gas concentration value will be displayed in the APP. *Please note that the alarm will not trip unless the gas concentration is above the preset level (7% LEL). This is to prevent false alarms.
-
In the interface of the Gas Detector settings, modify the settings for the audible alarm, alarm duration, alarm ringtone, and alarm notification alerts.
Indicator Status
Product Testing
This product has a self-test button, and there is also a self-test button in the APP, which can be used to test the alarm. When the self-test is run, the red LED of the detector flashes and the the audible alarm can be heard. The button is labeled “Auto-Detect” in the settings menu.
Alert Notification
When the concentration value of a gas exceeds the set alarm concentration value, the device will provide an alert and audible alarm.
There 5 different audible alarm tones that can be set, along, with the alarm duration.
%LEL and Alarm Warning
The alarm will sound when the gas concentration is above 7% LEL. Gases can only ignite at 100% LEL. The %LEL is not the percentage volume of gas concentration vs air. 100% LEL is the Lower Explosive Limit where there is a high enough concentration of gas where it will burn in air (around 5% by volume vs air for most gases). The device is designed to alarm when the gas concentration level reaches 7% LEL (93% below the 100% LEL). The alarm %LEL level is set high enough to prevent false alarms, but also providing sufficient advanced warning of a gas leak. When testing, please be aware that while you can smell the gas, and the alarm is not ringing, it doesn’t mean the device is not working; the % LEL must reach 7% to alarm.
Symptom and Troubleshooting
Tips
- It is normal to have slight heat on the surface of the case during operation.
- It is recommended to remove the alarm during cleaning.
- Avoid spraying aerosol on the gas alarm.
- If the alarm is used for a long time, the gas convention holes will have some oil stains, which will affect the sensitivity of the gas sensor. Do not let detergent enter the body. Retest the product after cleaning.
- The service life of the semiconductor sensor used in the alarm is 5 years. When it exceeds the service life, please replace it in time.
- It is forbidden to use a lighter to test the alarm gas convention holes to avoid damaging the internal sensor of the alarm.
- For your safety, besides using this product correctly, you should also take precautions in your daily life to ensure safety and prevention.
