How to install the Natural Gas Detector
We recommend the installation to be carried out by competent personnel
as an incorrect detector installation position can reduce the detector's
effectiveness.
1. Decide on the location of the Natural Gas Detector and
ensure it meets the guidelines of the manufacturer's
manual found inside the box.
i. Methane gas is lighter than air and will tend to
rise upwards; in order to maximise the
effectiveness of the detection the unit should be
placed 30cm from the ceiling.
ii. The detector should not be installed close to
cooking appliances, sinks, fans and in areas where
environmental conditions differ from those
recommended and specified in this document.
2. Drill two holes to line up with the key-slot holes in the
wall mounting bracket, securely fit two screws and leave
the heads of the screws protruding from the wall for the
wall plate to fit onto.
3. The Gas detector must be installed by a competent
person qualified to carry out electrical work
according to current national wiring regulations.
4. The installer should refer to the current edition of
the European Standard EN 50244 "Electrical
apparatus for the detection of combustible gases in
domestic premises – Guide on the selection,
installation, use and maintenance."
