Ambient conditions

The standards used to assess the product specify limit values for use in the living area, business area and in small enterprises; the product has been intended for use in the following operating environments:

Residential buildings/living areas such as houses, flats, rooms, etc. selling areas such as shops, wholesale markets, etc.
- Premises of small enterprises such as workshops, service centers, etc.

APPROPRIATE USE

The GAS ALARM GX-B2pro with external sensor is a gas warning device for city, natural and liquefied 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 and optically. The unit is suitable for normal household use and may not be used in areas at risk of explosion.

Another use of the device as described above is not authorized.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The GAS ALARM GX-B2pro 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.

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!

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 4m from the gas appliance. Note that the sensor 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 sensor for liquefied gas (propane C3H8 / butane C4H10):

Mount the external sensor at a height of 15 - 30cm above the floor but no further than 4m from the gas appliance. Escaping liquefied gas is heavier than air and sinks to the floor. It spreads across the floor rather 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.

INSTALLATION

The GAS ALARM GX-B2pro is simply plugged into a 230V / 50Hz socket. The LED (Operate) flashes green. The sensor of the monitoring system needs a warm-up time of 3-5 minutes to achieve functionality. The LED (Operate) then lights up green and the GAS ALARM GX-B2pro is ready for operation.

TEST button

The test button is for checking the LEDs and the acoustic alarm and does not test the sensor itself. Please do not press the test button during the heating up period.

During the alarm, the alarm is muted with the TEST button and the LED (alarm) continues to flash red until no gas is detected.

FAULT

In the event of a fault, the LED (error) flashes yellow, e.g. in the event of a cable break or disconnected sensor. To rectify a fault, you must unplug the device, check the cable and sensor and plug the device in again. The preheating time starts over. If you cannot find the fault yourself, please contact Elektrotechnik Schabus.

ALARM

The device only triggers an alarm and the LED (Alarm) flashes red if the sensor has detected an elevated gas concentration for longer than 30 seconds.

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 flame, turn off any open flame 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 fire service.

FALSEALARM

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 burst of gas (approx. 30 seconds), without igniting the lighter, triggers an alarm and the LED (function) flashes red. Disconnect the unit briefly from the supply and start the warm-up process again.

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.

The date (month/year) is at the sensor for the next sensor examination. Please send the sensor to Elektrotechnik Schabus for the work examination.
