The following locations are not suitable installation sites:
The alarm may not be used outdoors!
Placement
The gas alarm is designed to be wall-mounted.
The installation location must be selected in accordance with the following criteria:
For liquefied gas (propane/butane)
For the detection of liquefied gas, the distance from the floor should be 15 - 30 cm and
the distance to the gas device at most 4 m. Please make sure that the selected
installation site is not directly next to an exit.
Escaping liquefied gas is heavier than air so falls to the floor and spreads out there.
For town gas/natural gas (methane)
For the detection of town gas/natural gas, the gas alarm should be installed 15 - 30
cm below the ceiling and at most 6 m from the gas device. Please make sure that the
selected installation site is above the highest window or door opening.
Town gas and natural gas are lighter than air so rise upwards.
Outside of buildings, e.g. for the monitoring of open bottle crates
Separated areas (e.g. closet interiors or behind curtains) which
could, in the event of a gas leak, prevent the alarm from triggering
In air currents from fans (ventilation, air-conditioning, etc.) or in the vicinity
of doors or windows
Close to a smoke exhaust
Areas in which the temperature can fall below -10°C or rise above +40°C
Wet rooms such as bathrooms and showers where the relative humidity
can rise above 95%
Directly next to a cooking stove
Directly above cooking facilities
Directly above a drain (for town gas/natural gas)
Directly below a drain (for liquefied gas)
Areas where dirt and dust can clog the sensor
In rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres
Installation
Make sure that the voltage is disconnected during installation
and when connecting the power supply!
Two screws are used to fasten the alarm to the wall or selected location. Use the
enclosed spax screws. Both the assembly holes and the connection terminals are under
a cover plate. The cover plate is attached simply with two pins and can be lifted off by
moving it sideways without the need for tools.
Make absolutely sure to install the alarm at the height specified in the
chapter entitled 'Placement'!
