Wireless Gas Leak Detector
Introduction
RISCO Group's Wireless Gas Leak Detector detects mixtures of air and combustible gases (Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane). Upon detecting the presence of gas, the unit emits an alarm and notifies the control panel.
The main features of your Wireless Gas Leak Detector include the following: Integrated transmitter designed for use RISCO Group's
wireless alarm systems
Easy to install Monitoring for Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane in
a continuous manner
Loud alarm (85 dB) when detecting a buildup of Gas Test button Self-test
Selecting the installation location
The Wireless Gas Leak Detector will function effectively if installed in the correct location. Consider the following before mounting the gas alarm:
Methane (Natural) Gas: Methane is lighter than air, therefore
the greatest concentration of gas is found right below the ceiling, and therefore the Wireless Gas Leak Detector should be installed on the wall, approximately 30 cm (12”) below the ceiling.
Butane Gas: Propane and Butane are heavier than air,
therefore the greatest concentration of gas is found right above the floor level. The Wireless Gas Leak Detector should therefore be installed about 30cm (12”) above the floor. Do not mount in a location where the gas alarm could be damaged by dirt, liquids, etc.
Note:
Do not install the detector on the ceiling or on the floor.
To install the detector:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit according to Fig. 1.

2. Hold the Mounting bracket against the wall as a template and mark the locations for the 2 mounting holes.
3. Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) drill bit, drill two holes at the marks and insert wall plugs (Fig. 2).
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
5. Line up the side slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the detector onto the mounting bracket and fix it (see arrow direction, Fig. 2). Pull the detector outwards to make sure that it is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
6. Connect the detector power cable to the wall power outlet.

MUTING YOUR DETECTOR
You can partially mute the detector in an event of alarm by pressing the Test Button. The Red LED will continue to flash and a short beep will be heard every 16 seconds.
DETECTOR MALFUNCTIONING
A malfunctioning unit is indicated by beep-sounding on and off sequentially, i.e., beeping for 3 seconds with 3 seconds delay between two beeps. If this occurs, unplug the detector from the power source for 10 seconds and then plug the unit again. Should the unit beep intermittently, DO NOT use this detector. Send the malfunctioning unit for servicing.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR
You have to maintain the detector frequently to ensure it working properly. Few tips are provided for you to take care of your detector:
1. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents occasionally to keep them free of dust.
2. Push the Test button on your detector to test its operating function once every week.
