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.

When test button is pressed for at least 3 seconds (have to be
pressed during the first 10 minutes after powering the
detector).

3. Verify that the detector has been identified by the receiver.

TEST/HUSH POWER SERVICE A LA RM ALARM VENT

 Install the detectorin close proximity to every gas-operated

appliance.

 Do not:

x Install the gas detector directly on any gas appliance.
x Install the gas detector in sealed or closed compartments

or in an area where a wall or a closed door can obstructs
the flow of gas to the gas alarm.

x Install the gas detector in locations where fans, open

doors, open windows etc. may prevent gas from reaching
the sensor.

x Install the gas detector in any room where aerosols or

ammonia are used (e.g. bathrooms).

TESTING YOUR DETECTOR

To test the detector (do not test when detector is at warm up
mode), press the Test Button.

x The red and orange LED's will flash and a sound will be

heard

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.

LED & BUZZER Indication

go into a continuous full alarm. Try to take the following necessary
actions immediately or evacuate the building:
(a) Widely open doors and windows
(b) Disconnect electrical appliances
(b) Avoid open fire
(c) Repair the gas leak by a professional gas repairer

ACTIONS TO TAKE AFTER THE PROBLEM IS

Once the problem about the gas presence in the premises has
been corrected, the alarm of the detector should be off. After
waiting for 10 minutes, push the Test button to test the detector so
that you can make sure that the detector is working properly again.
