Important Warning Statements 

Please take the time to thoroughly read these instructions which should be retained for future reference. 
Detectors are shipped pre-calibrated and configured. 
The expected lifetime of a gas sensor is 3-10 years upon initial power up dependant on your target gas and environmental 
factors. The device will display a message to indicate this time and should immediately be replaced. 
It is recommended that this device be commissioned upon installation and serviced annually by a competent person. 
Do not apply lighter gas or other aerosols to the device – this will cause extreme damage to the sensors. 
High concentrations of alcohol found in many products may damage, deteriorate or affect the gas sensing elements. 
This device is designed to detect the gas type displayed on the screen only. 
It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or other gases and should not be used as such. 
This device provides early warning of the presence of gas, usually before a healthy adult would experience symptoms. This 
warning is possible provided your alarm is installed and maintained in accordance with this manual. 
Never ignore your device when in alarm. 
This device requires a continual supply of electrical power – it will not work without power. 
This device should not be used to substitute proper installation, use and/or maintenance of fuel burning appliances 
including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems. 
Multiple detectors may be required to adequately protect property and persons. 
This device does not prevent dangerous gasses from occurring or accumulating. 
Actuation of your alarm indicates the presence of dangerous levels of gas.  
The device is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. 
Seek fresh air supply and contact your local gas emergency service should you suspect a gas leak. 
This unit may not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a doctor/physician. 
Your product should reach you in perfect condition, if you suspect it is damaged, contact your supplier.

manufacturer. This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, tampering or other 
causes not arising from defects in material or workmanship. This warranty extends to the original consumer purchaser of the 
product only. Warranty disclaimers: Any implied warranties arising out of this sale, including but not limited to the implied 
warranties of description, merchantability and intended operational purpose, are limited in duration to the above warranty period. In 
no event shall the manufacturer be liable for loss of use of this product or for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential

negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. The manufacturer shall have no liability for any personal injury, property damage or any 
special, incidental, contingent or consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas leakage, fire or explosion. This warranty does 
not affect your statutory rights. Warranty Performance: During the above warranty period, your product will be replaced with a 
comparable product if the defective product is returned together with proof of purchase date. The replacement product will be in 
warranty for the remainder of the original warranty period or for six months – whichever is the greatest.  
 
 
 

Information on waste disposal for consumers of electrical & electronic equipment. 

 

When this product has reached the end of its life it must be treated as Waste Electrical & Electronics Equipment (WEEE). Any 
WEEE marked products must not be mixed with general household waste, but kept separate for the treatment, recovery and 
recycling of the materials used. Please contact your supplier or local authority for details of recycling schemes in your area. 

 

At the end of their working life, electrochemical sensors for oxygen and carbon monoxide detectors should be disposed of in an 
environmentally safe manner.

 

Alternatively they can be securely packaged and returned to S&S Northern clearly marked for 

disposal. Electrochemical sensors should not be incinerated as this may cause the cell to emit toxic fumes.
