General description & intended use
DANGER
If you smell natural gas, evacuate the area right
away, then call 911 or your gas utility. Do not wait
for alarm to sound.
DANGER
This gas alarm is designed to act as a continuous
monitor of natural gas that reaches the sensor.
This gas alarm should not be used as a short-term
testing device to perform a onetime check for the
presence of natural gas, as starting the device in
the presence of natural gas may cause an
explosion.
This gas alarm detects natural gas. Natural gas is a fossil
fuel that is primarily made up of methane. It is commonly
used for cooking, home heating and water heating. Natural
gas is typically supplied through a main utility line
connected to your home. It is a highly flammable chemical
compound. Although it happens rarely, a natural gas leak
can sometimes occur inside the home. This can be
dangerous because it increases the risk of explosion and
fire.
Natural gas is typically odorless and colorless, unless your
supplier treats it with a chemical to make it smell.
Individuals with diminished sense of smell may not be able
to detect even treated natural gas. If you are not sure which
gas your home uses, contact your utility company.
When this product detects natural gas at a concentration of
greater than or equal to 10% LEL for methane, it is
designed to beep 4 times and state "Danger – gas leak
explosion risk – evacuate, then call 911."
It is possible that you may smell natural gas before the
alarm is activated. If you do smell natural gas, do not wait
for the alarm to sound. Evacuate right away, then call 911.
