MAINTENANCE & TESTING
Cleaning
Keep your Parksafe gas detector in good working order - follow these basic principles;
Remove any dust/debris from the outer enclosure regularly using a slightly damp cloth.
Never use detergents or solvents to clean your device.
Never spray air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the device.
Never paint the device. Paint will seal vents and interfere with the device.
High concentrations of alcohol found in many products may damage, deteriorate or affect the gas sensing
elements – such as; wine; deodorants; stain removers; thinners!
Other gases and substances to avoid; Corrosives (i.e. chlorine & hydrogen chloride); Alkali metals; Basic
or acidic compounds; Silicones; Tetraethyl lead; Halogens and halogenated compounds!
Service Indication
It is recommended that detectors are serviced at least annually from the date of installation for optimum
performance and protection due to sensitivity drifts.
A service message will appear on the Parksafe control panel after one year of detector operation. The
detector will still operate during this time but contact your supplier immediately.
You should not attempt this yourself and should employ the services of a specialist company!
Manual Operation Test
This option gives the engineer the opportunity to test each relay/output in response to gas.
When the test button on the detector board is pressed and held – the detector will simulate an open
circuit to ensure all configured systems, outputs, alarms, indications and other external devices operate as
intended in response to gas.
When the test button is released – the test sequence will terminate and return to normal operation.
