Alecto GA-10 Mode D'emploi page 9

USE, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
USE:
The gas detector is operational if the 9 volt battery is placed and the GA-10 is connected by adapter. You can only
place the detector on the ceiling plate if the 9 volt battery is installed. If the detector is operational the red LED will
blink. After calibration it will turn green.
Once gas is detected, the alarm will go off. A loud beep will sound and the red LED will blink continuously. Once the
gas dissipates, the alarm will stop automatically.
Testing:
By pressing the test key on the GA-10, the alarm can be tested to ensure it is still operational. Hold the key for
at least 2 seconds. Operation is correct if the red LED blinks and a tone is audible. Preferably check the detector
weekly. During alarm state, the GA-10 will generate a tone of at least 85dB(A) sound pressure.
Hush function:
With this function, the alarm will be deactivated for 5 minutes. This function can be activated by pressing the button
once, shortly. The red LED will blink to indicate the alarm is silenced. After 5 minutes, the blinking will stop and the
alarm will be reactivated
ATTENTION:
• If there is any doubt over the cause of an alarm, then assume the alarm is caused by a gas leak and
evacuate the premises as soon as possible.
• Keep the gas detector away from small children.

The GA-10 can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
