However, after a gas detector reports exceeding of the alarm level, the supply of gas (valve closing) takes
place only after a specific delay (about 5 seconds) and three output pulses necessary to close the valve are

produced at that output. On the contrary, when alarm is reported at the input for an external alarm, the gas
supply is isolated with no delay.

Indicators of detector statuses

These indicators are designed to reflect operation statuses of detectors (1-5) collaborating with the control

unit.

OPERATION

A specific detector reports its failure or its maximum level of gas
detection is exceeded 

 / green

A   specific   detector   operates   correctly   and   no   exceeding   of
emergency threshold is exceeded
