Where should a Gas Detector be fitted?

A gas detector should be fitted in the room where a gas escape is most likely to occur.
For most installations the most likely source of a gas escape will be the cooker in the kitchen.

Choosing a Location

Natural gas is lighter than air therefore the gas detector should be wall mounted above
the level of a possible gas escape but not more than 30cm from the ceiling.
The gas detector should be located between 1 and 5 metres from the gas appliance. It must not be located inside a cupboard,
behind a curtain, directly above the cooker or sink, next to a door or window or near an extractor fan.
The gas detector should be within 5 metres of a mains supply otherwise the cable provided will need replacing.
Typical Tools Required
Be careful when using step ladders – always face the direction you are working.
Always make sure the correct drill bits and screwdrivers are used.

Installation

1. IMPORTANT: BS EN50244:2016 Electrical apparatus for
the detection of combustible gases in domestic
premises states that gas detectors should be installed
via a permanent electrical connection and not using
a plug and socket.
2. Fix the mounting plate complete with detector
to the wall using the screws and plugs provided
through the FIXING HOLES "A".
3. Run the mains cable to the nearest mains supply and
secure using the self-adhesive cable clips provided.
4. The detector should be wired to the mains supply using a
flexible cable appropriately rated via a fused connection
outlet and fitted with a 3A fuse to BS1363-4 and BS1362
respectively, or according to local regulations.
5. If choosing to use a plug and socket then fit the plug-wrap,
plug-in and switch on the mains supply.
Check the following sequence occurs; all 3 indicators light
and the unit sounds a single chirp. The 3 indicators then
light in turn and cycle 4 times. The unit is operating
when the GREEN Power light is lit steady.
6. Press and hold the TEST/HUSH button for 1 second.
The red light will flash 4 times followed by the yellow
light 4 times accompanied by the audible alarm
sounding 8 times.
