G.A.S.-Pro KO-Gas and Gasalarm

We want to congratulate you on buying a new G.A.S.-pro. You have purchased a system that is technically state-of-the-art, and has been tested and approved according to the European Motor Vehicle Directive. G.A.S.-pro detects narcotic gases, bottled gases and, depending on its equipment level, also carbon monoxide in the most minute concentrations long before these gases have reached a threatening concentration. To make installation and use as simple and error-free as possible, the G.A.S.-pro is equipped with AutoSense inputs, dynamic temperature adjustment and an automatic self-test function.

Sensor positioning / mounting:

• Depending on the vehicle type, the use of several sensors may be necessary.

• If only one bed is to be protected, the sensor should not be positioned more than one meter away from the bed. Best mounting height is near to the floor.

• If several beds at different heights are to be protected, it is recommended that additional sensors be positioned near the beds (near to the floor).

• If the cable length is not sufficient, the cable can be extended with commercially available cable of the same or a larger cross section to a maximum of 7 m.
  Information: Both narcotic and bottled gas is heavier than air!

• If a CO sensor is used, it should be mounted close to the ceiling, as carbon monoxide is lighter than air.

The following installation locations are not advisable:

• Heater vents (minimum distance 1 m)
• Lead-acid battery (minimum distance 1.5 m)
• Bathroom unit

1.1 Preparation for mounting: Drill a hole at the mounting location (20 mm or 12 mm for CO sensor)and press in the bushing provided from the outside.
1.2 Securing sensor: Secure the sensor from the inside using the screws provided.
Never use adhesives containing solvents or sealing compounds containing silicone!

Mounting location of device:

• As there is no sensor in the device, the G.A.S.-pro can be mounted at any desired location (including in a cabinet).

• Mounting in the immediate vicinity of the heater or boiler is not advisable, as this can impair the dynamic temperature adjustment.

• If the G.A.S.-pro is mounted in a cabinet, the use of an external siren (Art.
  No.:100190) may be advisable, as the internal buzzer might be overheard.

• As the power indicator is located on the front of the housing, the use of an external power indicator (Art. No. 100034) may be advisable when the device is mounted in
  a cabinet.

Connecting sensors/siren/automatic switch-off:

• The G.A.S.-pro can be operated with up to 3 sensors. These can be either narcotic/ bottled gas sensors, CO sensors or a combination of the two.
• The G.A.S.-pro is equipped with an alarm output with which any commercially available vehicle alarm system can be controlled.
• The external siren is used to scare off the perpetrator and to alert possible passers-by.
• The G.A.S.-pro is equipped with the option of automatic activation/deactivation via the vehicle ignition (active with ignition switched off/inactive with ignition switched
  on). For connection, see last page. This connection variant is recommended. Should this variant not be possible, the G.A.S.-pro can naturally also be operated with a switch (connect +12 V to the „IGN“ terminal via a switch).

All connection work must be carried out in the deenergised state!
See last page for terminal diagram.

Connecting to an alarm system:

• Most alarm systems operate with normally-closed (NC) contacts. Connect the terminals marked “NC” and “COM” in series to one of the inputs of your alarm system.
• If your alarm system operates with normally-open (NO) contacts, connect the terminals marked “NO” and “COM” in parallel to one of the contacts of your alarm system.

System operation and function:

• After switch-on, the G.A.S.-pro signals its readiness for operation with three beep tones and the power indicator on the front of the housing lights up continuously.
• Following the warm-up phase (approx. 4 min.), the power indicator flashes periodically and the G.A.S.-pro is now able to detect gas.
• In case of an alarm, the integrated siren and, if installed, the external siren sounds for approx. 30 seconds. If, after an alarm break of 30 seconds, gas is still present, the alarm sounds again. With a carbon monoxide alarm, the external siren sounds for 10 sec.
• If a sensor error or a cable defect is determined during the permanent selfdiagnosis, an interrupted tone sounds until the defect is eliminated.

Operating test:

• Following installation, an operating test should be conducted with each connected sensor.
  6.1 Switch on the G.A.S.-pro and wait until the warm-up phase has been completed, and the power indicator flashes.
  6.2 Now allow cigarette lighter gas to flow onto Sensor 1. After a few seconds the alarm sounds.
  6.3 Wait approx. 30 seconds and repeat the process with all connected sensors.
  The CO-Sensor does not have to be tested. Test of the CO-Sensor can not be carried out with lighter gas but only with carbon monoxide.

Troubleshooting:

• If the operating test does not trigger an alarm, check the wiring using the terminal diagram.
• If, after initial switch-on and the end of the warm-up phase, an alarm sounds immediately, the sensor may not have been stored properly, and is therefore heavily soiled. Repeat the switch-on procedure several times until the alarm no longer sounds.
• If a problem other than the one described occurs, please check the wiring using the terminal diagram. If the fault is not in the wiring, please contact your dealer or our technical hotline.
