GAS ALARM

Placing of the unit for city and

natural gas (methane CH4):

Plug the unit into a socket at a height of 15-30 cm

below the ceiling but no further than 4 m from the

gas appliance.

Note that the alarm unit must be mounted above the

highest door or window opening in the room.

City and natural gas (methane) are lighter than air

and will therefore always rise.

Placing of the alarm unit for liqueed gas

(propane C3H8 / butane C4H10):

Plug the unit into a socket at a height of 15-30 cm

above the oor but no further than 4 m from the gas

appliance. Escaping liqueed gas is heavier than air

and sinks to the oor. It spreads across the oor rat-

her like water - but as a gas - and always seeks the

lowest point.

The alarm unit may not be used in the following positions:

places where the sensor is shielded from escaping gas (e.g. behind curtains or in •

cupboards)

directly above hearths or points of combustion or over a wash basin or sink•

next to a door, windows, ventilator, fan, air conditioning unit etc.•

in areas where dust or dirt can prevent the sensor from working•

in areas at risk of explosion.•

START-UP

The GAS ALARM GX-B1 is simply plugged into a 230V/50Hz socket. The LED indicator

(function) will light up yellow. The sensor of the monitoring system requires a warm-up time

of 3-5 minutes to become fully operational. The LED indicator (function) will then light green

and the GAS ALARM GX-B1 is operational.

NOTE: various transport conditions (lengthy storage / humidity) can lead to an alarm state

being triggered immediately after the warm-up time (LED ashes red). Disconnect the unit

briey from the supply and start the warm-up process again. You may need to repeat this

procedure up to three times.
