Wireless Gas Leak Detector
(Model EL-2762)
Introduction
Electronics Line Ltd's Wireless Gas Leak Detector detects
mixtures of air and combustible gases (Natural Gas, Methane,
Propane and Butane).
Upon detecting the presence of gas, the unit emits an alarm and
notifies the control panel.
The main features of your Wireless Gas Leak Detector include the
following:
Integrated transmitter designed for use EL's wireless alarm
systems
Easy to install
Monitoring for Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane in
a continuous manner
Loud alarm (85 dB) when detecting a buildup of Gas
Test
button
Self-test
Selecting the installation location
The Wireless Gas Leak Detector will function effectively if installed in the
correct location. Consider the following before mounting the gas alarm:
Methane (Natural) Gas: Methane is lighter than air,
therefore the greatest concentration of gas is found right
below the ceiling, and therefore the Wireless Gas Leak
Detector should be installed on the wall, approximately
30
cm (12”)
below the ceiling.
Butane Gas: Propane and Butane are heavier than air,
therefore the greatest concentration of gas is found right
above the floor level. The Wireless Gas Leak Detector
should therefore be installed about
30cm (12”)
above the
floor. Do not mount in a location where the gas alarm
could be damaged by dirt, liquids, etc.
Note:
Do not install the detector on the ceiling or on the floor.
Install the
detector
in close proximity to every
gas-operated appliance.
Do not:
•
Install the gas detector directly on any gas appliance.
•
Install the gas detector in sealed or closed compartments or
in an area where a wall or a closed door can obstructs the
flow of gas to the gas alarm.
•
Install the gas detector in locations where fans, open doors,
open windows etc. may prevent gas from reaching the
sensor.
•
Install the gas
detector
in any room where aerosols or
ammonia are used (e.g. bathrooms).
To install the detector:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit according to Fig. 1.

4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
5. Line up the side slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the
detector onto the mounting bracket and fix it (see arrow
direction, Fig. 2). Pull the detector outwards to make sure that it
is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
6. Connect the detector power cable to the wall power outlet.
Transmitter/Receiver Communication Setup
1.
Set the panel to registration mode.
2.
Insert the batteries into compartment. The detector enters
registration mode during which a transmission is sent every
few seconds. You can terminate registration mode by
pressing the Test Button. Test mode is automatically
terminated after approximately five minutes
.
3.
Verify that the detector has been identified by the receiver.
