1.2 Emergency measures in case of gas leakage
• Always observe your own safety.
• Hold your breath.
A cloth held in front of the mouth and nose does not protect and does not filter toxic
gases.
• Extinguish open flames including smokers.
• Breathe fresh air, eg. at the window.
• Provide fresh air by opening windows and doors.
Thus, the concentration of gase in the air is rapidly reduced.
• Turn off all gas sources.
• Rescue victims with symptoms of intoxication in the fresh air.
• Do not turn on or off electrical appliances, including telephones, doorbells and
the Tri-Gas Detector 230 V & 12 V.
• Close the main gas stopcock.
With LPG this is usually directly at the gas tank.
• Depending on the situation, call the gas supplier or the fire brigade:

2 Description and function
2.1 Tri-Gas Detector 230 V & 12 V
The product is made for detecting natural gas, city gas and cylinder gas leaks. It is inten-
ded for installation in homes, caravans and campers. The Tri-gas detector 230 V & 12 V
can be connected to a 12 V DC power source such as the on-board network of caravans
and motorhomes, but also via 230 V~ power supply to the domestic power grid, for exa-
mple in kitchens or garages. In addition to the visual and audible alarm, it has a self-test
function and is insensitive to organic liquids.
