MAINTENANCE
The user periodically (every 6 months) must perform a check of the operation of the control unit by spraying
a suitable test gas at the base of the probes connected until the alarm condition is reached.
• At least once a year make a more accurate check by a specialist technician.
• Disabling the detector must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The position of the probe is a crucial factor for a gas detection unit correct functioning.
In order to obtain the maximum results from an appliance and minimize the probabilities of false alarms, we
recommend to follow this diagram and to keep in mind the following general rules.
The remote probe must be located at different heights, according to the type of gas.
These heights are:
- 30 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect
Heavy Gases
:
LPG,
Gasoline vapours,
Alcohol,
white spirit, Ethanol, Acetone, Chlorine, CO.
- 30 cm from the highest point of the ceiling in order to detect Light gases:
Methane, Hydrogen,
Ammonia,
Acetylene.
- The probe should not be placed near the appliances to be controlled (boilers, burners, industrial kitchens,
etc.) but
on the opposite wall.
- The probe should not be affected by smoke, vapour, etc. as they could distort their measurement. It must
be placed
away from sources of heat, suction fans, ventilation fans.
