OPERATION
First Power Up
On connecting power, the detector enters ‘sensor stabilisation’ phase for approximately 60
seconds – during this period the device is not yet ready for gas detection.
Power

When the detector has reached a low level alarm –
the LED will illuminate amber.

When a high concentration of gas is detected, the alarm will sound and LED will
illuminate Red
.
High (Flashing & alarm beeping).
There is a fault – contact your supplier.
Service & Maintenance
Keep your detector in good working order follow these basic principles;
DO carefully remove any accumulated dust from the outer enclosure once a month.
NEVER use detergents or solvents to clean your device – this may permenantly or
temporarily damage the gas sensing elements.
NEVER spray air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the device.
NEVER paint the device. Paint will seal vents and interfere with the device.
At dangerous gas levels, the alarm will continuously sound if the buzzer dip-switch is ON.
There are no provisions to silence this alarm.
Only when gas levels are at a safe level will the audible alarm stop.
High concentrations of alcohol found in many products may damage, deteriorate or affect
the gas sensing elements – such as; wine; deodorants; stain removers; thinners etc.
It is recommended that detectors are inspected and serviced at least annually from the date
of installation for optimum performance and protection due to sensitivity drifts.
