Initial operation
Preparation and materials required:
The stated materials are not included in the
delivery scope. The information provided here
is non-binding and intended as a guide. The
quality of the material depends on individual
local requirements. You will need:
앩
Power supply: 12 V DC mains adapter
connection to a 230 V~50 Hz socket, or
12 V DC on-board power supply system.
앩
A crosstip screwdriver for installation with
the fastening screws.
앩
A pen to mark the installation points.
앩
A drill for the mounting holes.
앩
An in-line fuse holder (250 mA/slow-act-
ing fuse) – only for connection to on-
board supply system.
Selecting the installation position
Danger:
take care not to damage any
gas, electricity or telecommunication lines
when fi tting the device. Danger to life and risk
of injury and damage.
Choose a position for installation that is as
close as possible to the gas appliance/device
and no further than 4 m (liquid gas) or 6 m
(methane) away from it (see Fig. C). Make sure
that the mains socket for connection of the
12 V DC mains adapter is located max. 2 m
away from the installation position of the gas
alarm. To detect town, natural and methane
gas, the installation position should be as far
up on the wall as possible. The gas alarm
should be mounted 15-30 cm below the room
ceiling and must be higher than the highest
door or window opening. The gases in ques-
tion are lighter than air and therefore rise.
To detect propane and butane gas, choose a
low installation position on the wall. It should
be 15-30 cm above the fl oor. Liquid gases are
heavier than air and therefore sink to the fl oor
and spread from there.
Do not under any circumstances install
the gas alarm in any of the following
places:
앩
Outside buildings, e.g. to guard open
crates of bottled gas.
앩
Enclosed spaces (e.g. in cupboards or
behind curtains), which could prevent the
alarm from responding in the event of a
gas leak.
앩
Directly next to an oven.
앩
Directly above a washbasin or drain.
앩
Next to a door, window, ventilation, fan, air
conditioning unit, etc.
앩
