Appendix B: Transmitter Installation

Gas Leak Detector (EL-2762)

The EL‐2762 is a Wireless Gas Leak Detector that detects mixtures of air and combustible gases
(Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane).
Upon detecting the presence of gas, the unit emits an alarm and notifies the control panel.
The main features of your Wireless Gas Leak Detector include the following:

Integrated transmitter designed for use with ELʹs wireless alarm systems

Easy to install

Monitoring for Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane in a continuous manner

Loud alarm (85 dB) when detecting a buildup of Gas

Test button

Self‐test
Selecting the Installation Location
The Wireless Gas Leak Detector will function effectively if installed in the correct location. Consider
the following before mounting the gas alarm:

Methane (Natural) Gas: Methane is lighter than air, therefore the greatest
concentration of gas is found right below the ceiling, and therefore the Wireless Gas
Leak Detector should be installed on the wall, approximately 30 cm (12") below the
ceiling.

B utane Gas: Propane and Butane are heavier than air, therefore the greatest
concentration of gas is found right above the floor level. The Wireless Gas Leak
Detector should therefore be installed about 30cm (12") above the floor. Do not mount
in a location where the gas alarm could be damaged by dirt, liquids, etc.
Do not touch the adhesive with your fingers.


I nstall the detector in close proximity to every gas‐operated appliance.
Do not:

Install the gas detector directly on any gas appliance.

Install the gas detector in sealed or closed compartments or in an area where a wall or
a closed door can obstructs the flow of gas to the gas alarm.

I nstall the gas detector in locations where fans, open doors, open windows etc. may
prevent gas from reaching the detector.

I nstall the gas detector in any room where aerosols or ammonia are used (e.g.
bathrooms).
