ALARM
The device only triggers an alarm and the LED (Function) flashes red if the sensor has de-
tected an elevated gas concentration for longer than 30 seconds.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF ALARM
• 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. Inform
any other people in the house. Everyone must leave the house!
• Search the area or house for any points of combustion/fire. Carbon monoxide is
developed by incomplete (smoky) combustion. Important: everyone must leave the
house!
• Eliminate the cause of the escape of gas. In the event of uncertainty, contact your
energy supply expert/adviser
• 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), 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.
GENERAL
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.
