Positioning
Gas alarms should be fitted in the room where a gas escape is
most likely to occur. For most installations the most likely source
of a gas leak will be the cooker in the kitchen.
Natural gas is lighter than air, so a leak of gas will build-up at high
level. The gas alarm should positioned above the highest window
or door opening, usually not more than 30cm from the ceiling.
The gas alarm should be located between 1 and 5 metres from
the gas appliance.
The gas alarm must not be located in or below a cupboard or in
any enclosed space, behind a curtain, directly above the cooker
or sink, next to a door or window or near an extractor fan.
Refer to the Manufacturer’s
operating and installation
instructions for more information on positioning.
IMPORTANT:
BS EN50244:2016 Electrical apparatus for the
detection of combustible gases in domestic premises states
that detectors should be permanently installed, and it should
not be possible to switch off power to the device, unless for
maintenance. A plug and socket type connection should not
be used, due to the ease with which the detector may be
disconnected from the power supply.
The gas alarm must be installed by a competent person
qualified to carry out electrical work according to the current
national wiring regulations.
Normal Operation
The green power light will be illuminated to indicate normal
operation.
Alarm Condition
The red alarm light will flash, and the audible alarm will sound.
Keep calm and carry-out the following actions, not necessarily in
the order given;
Extinguish all naked flames
and don’t smoke
Turn off all gas appliances
Do not switch on or off any electrical equipment
Turn off the gas supply
Open doors and windows to increase ventilation
Do not use a telephone where gas may be present
When the gas clears the alarm will return to normal operation.
If the alarm continues and the cause of the leak cannot be found,
vacate the premises and contact the
Gas Emergency Service
on
0800 111 999
immediately.
Alarm Silence
The audible alarm can be silenced for 5 minutes by pressing the
Test/Hush button (the red light will continue to flash). If the gas is
still present after 5 minutes the alarm will sound again.
Low Battery Condition
The telecare transceiver battery is self-
tested once a day, if it’s
low for 7 consecutive days a low battery condition will be
reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or
the local Manager once a week. The complete gas alarm should
be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Fault Condition
Different fault conditions are notified by the yellow fault light and
chirp patterns;
Power Fault
: flashing yellow light and an intermittent single chirp
Sensor Fault
: flashing yellow light and 2 long chirps per minute
Software Fault
: steady yellow light and continuous chirps
For a power fault get the electrical installation checked, for other
faults the complete gas alarm should be replaced immediately.
Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)
The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to
determine whether they have been damaged or removed from
an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to
detect a device’s
heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range”
notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the
alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced
immediately.
The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30
hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be
disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each
peripheral device in Pulse CMP.
Maintenance
Test the gas alarm once every month.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with
the soft brush attachment. Do not use solvents or cleaners on the
gas alarm as they may cause damage to the sensor, the unit can
be wiped with a lightly damped cloth.
