DELIVERY SCOPE 1 warning device: GAS ALARM GX-B3• 1 operating instructions• Mounting materials (screw, 5-mm wall plug)•english APPROPRIATE USE The GAS ALARM GX-B3 with external sensor is a gas warning device for town, natural and liqueed gases and can already deliver a warning at a gas concentration that lies well below life-threatening values. This monitoring system is, therefore, in line with its purpose, set to a very high sensitivity (see table TECHNICAL DATA).The alarm is signalled acoustically/ optically and the connected gas appliance is turned off at the same time. The unit is suitable for normal household use and may not be used in areas at risk of explosion. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Operating voltage: 230 (+/-10%) V AC / 50-60 Hz Power consumption: approx. 1.5 W (stand-by) Switching capacity: 2300 W / 10 A Operating temperature: -15°C / +40°C Protection type: IP 20 Acoustic pressure sounder: 60 dB @ 10 cm Cable length: 2.5 m Cable Ø: 3.6 mm Dimensions (HxWxD): 121x57x38 mm Data diagram Sensor Gas type Trigger point acc. to diagram Minimum concentration CO no alarm triggered no alarm triggered Methane 2500ppm (0.25%) <0.5% Propane (isobutane) 1000ppm (0.1%) <0.2% Ethanol (acetone) 2500ppm (0.25%) <0.5% It is essential to observe the prescribed sensor mounting height! For your own safety and reassurance, please obtain information from your supplier regarding their gas type and its properties! INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The GAS ALARM GX-B3 and the sensor may be installed only in dry, interior rooms and must be correctly placed according to the type of gas to ensure faultless operation of the alarm system.english Placing of the sensor for city and natural gas (methane CH4): Mount the external sensor at a height of 15-30 cm below the ceiling but no further than 4 m from the gas appliance. Note that the sensor must be moun- ted 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 sensor for liqueed gas (propane C3H8 / butane C4H10): Mount the external sensor at a height of 15-30 cm above the oor but no further than 4 m from the gas appliance. Escaping liqueed 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 sensor 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-B3 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-B3 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 briey from the supply and start the warm-up process again. You may need to repeat this procedure up to three times.english

Avoid the effects of moisture (spray or rain water), dust as well as direct insolation on the device. Clean the device exclusively with a dry linen cloth; in case of heavy dirt accumulation, it may be slightly moistened. Do not use any detergents containing solvents.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

The declaration of conformity can be obtained from our website: www.shop.elektrotechnik-schabus.de For your own safety and reassurance, we recommend that you carry out this test every month! Regularly clean the sensor by blowing off any dust. ALARM If there is an escape of gas, the system gives an alarm once the sensitivity threshold is ex- ceeded. The electronic siren sounds and the LED (Function) ashes red. WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF ALARM (or if you smell gas) Do not unplug the alarm unit• Do not switch on any other electrical devices or appliances• Do not ignite any open ame, turn off any open ame already lit• Immediately open windows and doors and thoroughly ventilate the area or house• Turn off the main gas feed and ensure that the cause of the gas escape is eliminated• In the event of persistent/repeated alarm, contact your energy supply expert/adviser or • the re service FALSE ALARM The sensitive system sensor also responds to other gaseous media. The use of aerosols (gas propellant in hair, disinfectant, alcohol etc. sprays), as well as strong tobacco fumes (smoking card party) can lead to a false alarm. FUNCTIONAL TEST A simple functional test of the alarm unit can be carried out with butane gas from a cigarette lighter. A short burst of gas, without igniting the lighter, triggers an alarm and the LED (func- tion) ashes red.english ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION For the production of the purchased product, natural raw materials had to be obtained and used.
