Frequently Asked Questions - GS869 Emos

What gases does the GS869 detect?

The GS869 detects flammable gases: natural gas, methane, propane, and butane.

How do I install the gas detector?

Install the detector about 30 cm from the ceiling in a room where gas leaks are likely (e.g., kitchen). Avoid placing near windows, doors, fans, or humid areas. Use the mounting plate to mark holes, drill, insert wall plugs, and screw the plate to the wall. Then attach the detector.

What do the LED colors mean?

Green LED steady: normal operation. Yellow LED on: fault or end of service life. Red LED flashing: gas alarm. Combination of green and yellow indicates fault or end of life.

How do I test if the detector works?

Long-press the TEST/HUSH button. The green LED will light, red LED will flash, and the alarm will sound intermittently. Perform this test once a week.

What should I do if the gas alarm goes off?

Extinguish all flames, turn off gas appliances, do not operate electrical switches, shut off the main gas valve, open windows and doors, leave the building, and call the gas emergency service or fire brigade. Do not use mobile phones inside.

Can I silence the alarm?

Yes, press the TEST/HUSH button to silence the siren for 5 minutes. After that, the alarm will reactivate if gas is still present.

How long does the detector last?

The detector has a service life of 5 years. The replacement date is printed on the front under the TEST/HUSH button. After expiration, replace the device.

How do I maintain the detector?

Clean the vents with a vacuum cleaner at least once a month. Do not paint the detector or use solvents. Keep away from dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures.

What does the yellow LED and beep every 30 seconds mean?

This indicates a fault state or end of service life. If fault, unplug and reconnect, then test. If still faulty, contact service. If end of life, replace the detector.

Is the detector suitable for outdoor use?

No, the detector is for indoor use only. Do not install outside or in areas with temperature outside -10°C to +40°C or high humidity.

Installation

The installation must be performed by a qualified person.

The person performing the installation is responsible for installing the product in accordance with valid regulations.

When in doubt, leave the installation to a qualified professional.

Ideally, the detector should be installed in a room where the risk of gas leaks is the greatest, e.g. the kitchen.

Natural gas is lighter than air and has the tendency to rise up and fill the space above the leak site. The detector should be installed above the likely place of leakage, ca. 30 cm from the ceiling. Do not install the detector in a place where air flow is hindered by furniture and other equipment. The detector should be installed in an accessible place so that the user is able to push the TEST/HUSH button in the event of an alarm.

The detector should be installed in a place from which an alarm will be easy to hear.

Do not install the detector:

• Directly above kitchen appliances
- Outside the building
• In an enclosed space (e.g. a cabinet)
- Directly above the sink
- Next to a window or door
- Next to a fan
- In a place where the temperature is not between -10^ and +40^
- In a place where the vents of the detector might get dirty or clogged
- In a humid place

Example of Detector Placement See fig. 2

1 – Gas detector

Installing the Detector onto a Wall

Before mounting, turn off the power for the room.

Make sure there are no wires or pipes in the place you intend to mount the detector.

Use the mounting plate to mark 2 drill holes, see fig. 2

Drill the two holes ( 5 mm) in the wall.

Insert the attached wall plugs into the openings, place the mounting plate and attach it to the wall with screws.

Fit the back of the detector firmly onto the fixing projections on the mounting plate.

See fig. 3

B – screws	F – fixing projections
C – mounting plate	G – holes for hanging
D – wall plugs

START-UP

After installation is complete, connect the detector to 230 V mains. The detector will take approx. 3 minutes to adapt and the green LED will be flashing.

Once the green LED stops flashing and remains lit up, the detector is ready for use.

Note: in order for the detector to work faultlessly, it is necessary for oxygen concentration in the room to be at least 21 %.

TEST MODE

If needed, you can check the functioning of the detector.

Long-press the TEST/HUSH button.

The green LED will light up, the red LED will be flashing and the alarm will be beeping.

Use test mode 1× a week.

FAULT STATE

If the detector is in fault state, it is not functional.

Fault state is indicated by 1 beep every 30 seconds and the green and yellow LED will be lit up.

Disconnect the detector from the mains and reconnect it after a few moments.

Perform a functionality test.

If the detector still does not work, contact a service centre.

END OF DETECTOR SERVICE LIFE

The detector has a service life of 5 years since production.

After expiration, the detector must no longer be used and must be replaced with a new device.

The date for replacing the detector is listed on the front of the detector under the TEST/HUSH button.

If you are using multiple detectors, remember to check their replacement dates!

ALARM WARNING

If gas is detected, the green LED will light up and the red LED will be flashing.

A siren will be beeping at the same time.

To silence the siren, press the TEST/HUSH button; the siren will be silenced for 5 minutes.

Then the alarm siren will reactivate.

In the event of an alarm, proceed as follows.

Extinguish all open flames.

Turn off all gas appliances.

Do not turn any electrical appliances on or off, including the detector itself.

Shut off the gas supply and the main shutoff valve.

Open the windows and doors.

Do not use a mobile phone while in the building where the gas leak is likely to have occurred. Inform people in the vicinity (do not ring the bell to alert your neighbours, only knock).

If the alarm is still active and the cause of the gas leak has not been found, leave the building and immediately contact the gas supplier's emergency breakdown service. Or contact the fire brigade or the police.

Upkeep and Maintenance

The product is designed to serve reliably for many years if used properly. Here are some tips for proper operation:

- Read the manual carefully before using this product.

• Do not expose the product to frost, rain or humidity, dripping or splashing water. The following substances may cause a false alarm or damage the sensor: silicone gasses, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur oxides, gaseous chlorine, hydrogen chloride, alkali metals, water, products with alcohol content, isobutane, isopropanol, ethylene, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, paints, diluents, solvents, glues, hair spray, perfumes, aftershaves.
• Do not place any open flame sources on the product, e.g. a lit candle, etc.
• Do not place the product in places with inadequate air flow.
• Do not insert any objects in the product vents, do not cover up the product.
• Do not tamper with the internal electric circuits of the product – doing so may damage the product and will automatically void the warranty. The product should only be repaired by a qualified professional.
• To clean the product, use a slightly moistened soft cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaning agents - they could scratch the plastic parts and cause corrosion of the electric circuits.
• Do not immerse the product in water or other liquids.
• In the event of damage or defect on the product, do not perform any repairs by yourself. Have it repaired in the shop where you bought it.
• This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental disability or lack of experience and expertise prevents safe use, unless they are supervised or instructed in the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must always be supervised and must never play with the device.
