SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General
• Before you start mounting the device please read the operating instructions carefully.
• The installation shall be performed by qualified personnel.
- Packaging material is not a children's toy. Keep it away from children!
- Do not open the device. It does not contain parts you have to maintain.
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.
- All areas of application characterize themselves by a connection to the public low voltage mains.
APPROPRIATE USE
The GAS ALARM GX-B1pro 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-B1pro may only be installed 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 position of the alarm unit! For your own safety and reassurance, please obtain information from your supplier regarding their gas type and its properties!
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 liquefied gas (propane C3H8 / butane C4H10):
Plug the unit into a socket at a height of 15-30 cm above the floor but no further than 4 m 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.

- 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-B1pro is simply plugged into a 230V / 50Hz socket. The LED (Function) indicator lights up in each color, a short alarm tone can be heard. The sensor of the monitoring system needs a warm-up time of 3-5 minutes to reach functionality, during this time the green LED flashes. The LED (Operate) then lights up green and the GAS ALARM GX-B1pro is ready for operation.
TEST button
In the event of an alarm, the alarm tone is muted with the TEST button, the red LED continues to flash until gas is no longer detected.
In monitoring mode, test the function of the LEDs and the acoustic alarm with the TEST button.
FAULT
If a fault is detected, the LED (error) lights up or flashes yellow. Unplug and plug in the device again or contact Schabus electrical engineering.
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.
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 burst of gas (approx. 30 seconds) at the lower ventilation slit in the housing, 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 GASALARM to us for the work examination.
Elektrotechnik Schabus GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for damages and/or losses of any kind such as individual damages or consequential damages brought about by the gas detector not issuing an alarm despite the presence of an elevated gas concentration.
CLEANING AND CARE
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.
