If the product continues to chirp despite having new
batteries and the product is still within warranty then
contact Technical Support on 0800 141 2561. If the
product is no longer in warranty replace it immediately!
Testing the sounder, batteries and circuitry
Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry by pressing and
holding the Test button for approximately 1 second to
confirm that the alarm is operating properly. The green,
red, then yellow LEDs will flash, and the sounder will sound
indicating that the alarm is working and the batteries are
providing power to the unit. This test for the sounder,
batteries and circuitry should be performed monthly.
Silence the alarm
The alarm's loud sounder can be silenced only when the gas
detected is less than 20% LEL. Silence the sounder for a
short period (3 minutes) by pressing and holding down the
Test button for approximately 1 second until the sound stops.
The red alarm indicator will continue to flash every second.
To reset the alarm indicator
If the alarm has alarmed, once the air is clear the sounder
will stop. It is possible that an alarm event may happen
due to an intermittent occurrence when no one is in the
building. The red led indicator will remain flashing until it
has been manually reset.
To reset the red alarm press the Test button twice within
2 seconds. The red LED will turn off, should gas be
detected, an alarm will sound within 30 seconds.
Maintaining your alarm
Avoid using the following near the alarm; oils, cleaning
fluids, polishes, paints and greases.
Do not attempt to repair your alarm. Do not remove
any screws or open the main casing of your alarm. Any
attempt to do so may cause malfunction and will invalidate
the warranty.
What to do in the event of an alarm
Natural gas is odourless, therefore additives known as
stench agents are mixed with the gas so it can be smelt.
This stench agent may be smelt at very low concentrations
of the gas and therefore it may be possible to smell the
gas prior to the alarm giving an alarm signal.
WARNING: A loud alarm is a warning that potentially
dangerous levels of Natural Gas are present. Never ignore
this alarm, take immediate action.
Remain calm, and carry out the following actions:
• Extinguish all naked flames, including all smoking
material;
• Turn off all gas appliances;
• Do not touch any electrical equipment, including the
gas detection apparatus;
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas mains control or the
storage tank;
• Open doors and windows to increase ventilation;
• Do not use a telephone in the building where the
presence of gas is suspected.
If the alarm continues to operate, even after an alarm
resetting action where appropriate, and the cause of the
leak is not apparent or cannot be corrected, vacate the
premises and IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY the gas supplier
and the gas emergency 24 hour service so the installation
may be tested and made safe, and any necessary repair
carried out.
Care should be taken with battery-powered apparatus,
since the cessation of an alarm may be due to the battery
being discharged, rather than a decrease in ambient
combustible gas level.
The premises should be re-entered with care and only after
checking combustible gas concentrations to confirm the
absence of the hazard.
If the alarm stops and the reason for the alarm having
sounded is identified, (for example a gas tap switched on
with the burner unlit), after stopping the gas immediately
telephone your local Gas Emergency Helpline. Advise that
you have a Natural Gas alarm in your home and it is in full
alarm indicating that it has detected dangerous levels of
gas in the air and you are concerned that gas is leaking.
