OPERATING THE GAS ALARM
Once the Gas Alarm has been installed a GREEN
indicator light (LED) is on, and the Gas Alarm
conducts a sound test itself, while the RED indicator
light (LED) will be flashing quickly. After a few
seconds, the Gas Alarm will be muted and then
reset into normally mode after this period. Then the
Gas Alarm is ready for use.
If gas is detected the unit will emit a load pulsating
alarm and a RED indicator light (LED) will flash
until the gas concentration in the air decreased
to a certain level. This will happen before any risk
explosion.
If the power supply of 12V DC to the alarm has been
disconnected, and then re-established, the alarm will
conduct a self-test again. This function ensures the
Gas Alarm is in proper operation when in use.
TESTING THE GAS LEAKAGE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your gas alarm
once a week to ensure the detector is working
correctly.
Use gas from a cigarette lighter, and let it spread
around the sensor which is situated at the grills in
the left bottom side. A loud pulsating alarm should
sound and a RED flashing indicator light (LED) can
be seen to indicate the correct function. The Gas
Alarm will stop automatically when the air around
the sensor is clean from gas. Test your Gas Alarm
frequently to insure proper operation.
WHEN ALARM OCCURRED
Keep calm, and carry out the following actions, not
necessarily in the order given:
• Extinguish any naked flames, burning tobacco or
candles etc. immediately.
• When the alarm signals are given under normal
conditions, shut off the main gas tap, bottle valve,
or leaking source and open windows and doors
for perfect ventilation.
• Do not switch any electrical devices(light switch,
torch, door bell, telephone, intercom, or other
electric consumers) on or off.
• Touching electric switches is inhibited. Only a little
spark could cause explosion.
• If leaking gas is indicated constantly or repeatedly,
please contact your energy provider. Do not use
the telephone or any other electrical device near
or around the gas leak to notify the provider.
If the alarm continues to operate, even after an alarm
resetting action where appropriate, and the cause of
the leak is not apparent and/or cannot be corrected,
vacate the premises and IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY the
gas supplier and/or the gas emergency 24h-service
in order that the installation may be tested and made
safe, and any necessary repair carried out.
If the alarm stops or a latching alarm is reset
according to the instructions of the manufacturer
and the reason for the alarm having operated is
identified, (for example a gas tap switched on with
the burner unlit), after stopping the gas release and
ensuring that all appliances are turned off, the main
gas supply may be reinstated.
MAINTAINING YOUR GAS ALARM
Clean your gas leakage alarm regularly to prevent
dust build up. This can be done using a vacuum
cleaner with the brush attachment. Clean gently
around the front grilled section and sides.
If the alarm fails to operate currently, please send
back to the address of manufacturer shown on the
back label of the detector.
CAUTION!
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE UNIT
BY YOURSELF IN ORDER TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE HAZARDS OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
MALFUNCTION OF GAS ALARM
The service life of the gas alarm expires after
approximately 5 years of operation. Then, it should
be replaced.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Installation of your gas leakage alarm is only one
step in your safety plan. Other important steps
should be taken to further improve your safety:-
• Install the gas alarm properly, following this
instruction leaflet
• Test your gas alarm weekly
• Make sure that your electrical circuits are not
overloaded
• You may smell gas prior to the gas alarm giving an
alarm.

WHEN FAULT LAMP ON
The device carries out a self-checking routine for
your safety. Possible errors are displayed by the
FAULT LAMP flashing and a coincident beeping
noise from the device. This fault indicator may also
be triggered by problem inside the device.
If a fault is indicated you must check first:
• Whether the ambient temperature is outside the
specified range (-10oC to +40oC).
• Whether chemicals present in the air may have
caused the fault, e.g. a high concentration of acid
or alcohol. If this cannot be confirmed, then try
the device in another room. If no fault is indicated
there then the problem lies in the surroundings.
If the fault indicator is still active then the problem
lies within the device itself:
• The gas alarm has suffered internal damage.
• The gas alarm has been used for approximately 5
years.
Then, it should be replaced.
