Page 5: Preliminary Information
Preliminary information The Alpa MOD LED8 Control Unit Module is a device designed to detect the presence of: flammable gas such as natural gas (methane) and LPG (propane, propane – butane), vapours of volatile substances (alcohol vapour, liquid fuels), toxic gases (hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide), any other gas, detectable by an appropriate sensor. -
Page 6: Safety
www.atestgaz.pl Safety All activities related to connecting detectors, signallers and other system components must be carried out while control unit's power supply is off. Although switching power supply of the Gas Safety System off, there is a possibility that a dangerous voltage can exist on the terminals of the Control Unit. It can originate from another system like for an example ventilation system that uses one of the output pins of control unit. -

FAILURE relay (NC – COM contact closed). Pressing CONFIRM / CLEAR will disable the internal siren. POWER indicator lamp If the POWER indicator lamp is on, the Alpa MOD LED8 is operational. The indicator lamp will be turned off: if Alpa MOD LED8 is defective, in case of decrease or loss of controller voltage or battery discharge. -

www.atestgaz.pl pressing MEMORY will display the contents of the memory on the front panel, which will be signalled by the MEMORY indicator lamp lighting continuously, Pressing CONFIRM / CLEAR for 5 seconds allows to erase the memory, pressing the MEMORY key again will return to displaying the current status. Life cycle Transport The device should be transported in the same way as new devices of this type. -
Page 11: Start-Up
www.atestgaz.pl Liquid gas (LPG) These gas detectors should be placed acc. to similar principles as methane gas detectors, taking into account the fact that both propane and butane are heavier than air and will accumulate close to the floor. This is why the gas detectors should be placed no higher than about 20 – 40 cm from the floor level. Carbon monoxide (CO) Due to similar density to the density of air, the gas detectors should be installed approx. -

Page 13: Utilization
www.atestgaz.pl 6.5.1 Maintenance Except cleaning the external part of the enclosure, the device does not require any maintenance. The external part of the enclosure should be cleaned by means of a soft cloth moistened with water and a bit of a mild detergent. -
Page 14: Technical Specification
Table 6: Technical specification The value applies only to power consumption of the Alpa MOD LED8 Control Unit Module. When determining the total power of the gas detection system the power consumption of all devices in the system, e. g. gas detectors, sirens, battery charging, etc. should be taken into account. -
