1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The natural (methane) gas detector provides an early residential warning of the
presence of explosive natural (methane) gas and is factory calibrated to sound an
alarm that meets UL1484 standard. The L.E.L. (Lower Explosive Level) of natural
(methane) gas is 5% in volume and the alarm level of this detector is set at 10 – 25%
of the L.E.L. (Lower Explosive Level).
When the alarm is triggered the red light and buzzer will stay on for a minimum of 5
minutes. If natural (methane) gas levels persist beyond the calibrated level, the
detector will continue to alarm until the natural (methane) gas is cleared.
