Troubleshooting

In case of alarm

Extinguish any naked flames.
Do not switch lights or electrical devices on or off.
Open all windows and doors to increase ventilation.
If the 'ALARM' LED is off the levels of gas have dropped. A responsible, qualified person is now safe to find the cause of
the alarm.
If the alarm sound remains constant, and the cause is not evident or possible to eliminate turn off the emergency
isolation valves to the area and contact your gas provider emergency line. They will advice accordingly.

If you are experiencing difficulties, having made the checks listed above call Duomo on 01905 797989 for
technical assistance.

The Problem

The Solution

No lights are illuminated on the fascia of the detector

Check that the electrical supply is reaching the
device and that the plug in terminal rail is pushed
into place.

The sensor fault light is illuminated

Sensor fault continues to alarm

The detector is subject to repeated alarms

The detector is in a main alarm condition and the
main gas valve is not closing

There is no supply to the solenoid valve

Check that the wiring is correct.

Check that the sensor wiring is correctly terminated
at both the sensor and detector. Check that 12V DC
is present at the sensor. The green light on the sensor
should be illuminated. Pressing the TEST button it is
possible to check the efficiency of the device and if
the sensors have been connected correctly.

Check that the connections are correct and that
power is supplied to the valve i.e. the valve is not
stuck in the open position. The function of the alarm
relays both Pre-Alarm and Main Alarm can be
checked by pressing the TEST button on the detector
fascia. Check that the main alarm action is configured
for a latching alarm (see setting on internal menu).

Check the sensor wiring. If the red Overload LED is lit
a short circuit or overload has occurred on the sensor
or the connecting cable.

Ensure that there is not an occassional gas leak. This
may be due to a valve or joint which leaks under
pressure.

The Main Alarm relay is a volt-free contact, therefore
you must connect the live supply to the common of
the main alarm relay contacts. Check the wiring
diagram in this manual.

Sensor is connected, but no information is shown on
the display.

Check that the sensor is enabled in the internal
menu.
