False alarm For your safety, the gas detector is very sensitive. For this reason the sensor also reacts to other gaseous media. Using aerosols (e.g. propellants in spray cans) or thick tobacco smoke, heavy alcohol fumes or steam arising from cooking can trigger an alarm even though no gas or anaesthetic gas is present. MSG-150.book Seite 26 Donnerstag, 30. Oktober 2008 5:03 17MagicSafe MSG150 Troubleshooting

11 Troubleshooting If the device is not ready for operation (the green LED does not glow), proceed as follows: ➤ Make sure the power supply is 12 or 24 V DC. If the voltage is less than this, or the voltage supply has been interrupted, the gas detector does not function. ➤ Check the fuse in the plug, if the gas detector is connected using a 12/24 V plug. Checking the fuse in the 12/24 V plug In the tip of the plug there is a fuse to protect the gas detector. If the thin metal connection in the middle between the two metal caps is broken, the fuse is defective and must be replaced. Replacement fuses are available from customer serv- ices. Make sure that you only use the same fuse type (5 A/250 V) in the plug. Damage to the device resulting from using inappropriate fuse types is excluded from guarantee claims under the terms of the warranty. To replace the fuse, proceed as follows: ➤ Pull the adapter sleeve (4 4, page 4) off of the plug. ➤ Unscrew the screw (4 5, page 4) out of the upper half of the housing (4 1, page 4). ➤ Carefully lift the upper half of the housing off from the lower (4 6, page 4) half. ➤ Take out the contact pin (4 3, page 4). ➤ Replace the defective fuse (4 2, page 4) with a new fuse that has the same rating. ➤ Re-assemble the plug in the reverse order. 12 Maintaining and cleaning the gas detector Caution! Do not use sharp or hard objects for cleaning as these may damage the device. ➤ Clean the gas detector with a soft, damp cloth from time to time. MSG-150.book Seite 27 Donnerstag, 30.
