USER MANUAL
www.aguilera.es
The detector is automatically replaced when the level of METHANE gas concentration is reduced
under 10% L.I.E., and such level is maintained for 5 consecutive seconds. The acoustic alarm, the
ALARM red indicator and the operation relay are off.
MANUAL OPERATION TEST.
A test for the detector correct operation can be carried out by pressing the SW1 pushbutton. To
access this pushbutton, the alarm casing needs to be opened. While the pushbutton is pressed, the
acoustic alarm, the alarm red indicator and the operation relay are activated.
MAINTENANCE
Visual inspection is the minimum recommended maintenance work, checking that there are no
elements stopping the air circulation through the air vents. Periodical operation test is also
recommended.
LIFETIME
In order to verify the detector lifetime, the installation date is to be marked on the detector side label.
The sensor is to be replaced every
6 years
from the installation date.
For gas presence to be noticed in a place, LPG and methane gases contain a smelly substance.
This smell can be noticed before the detector starts working that, in any case, it has been
calibrated below the level of gas explosion.
The detector should be installed between 1 and 4 metres from gas appliances.
The detector should not be installed in a closed place, for example in a cabinet or behind a
curtain, directly under a sink, near a door or window, near an extractor fan, in places where dust
and dirt may block the sensor or in wet or humid places.
For cleaning, use a slightly wet cloth. Do not use cleaning products as well as solvents, alcohol,
bitumen, varnish or paint on the detector or near it as such products may affect the unit reliability.
Periodic tests of operation are recommended by pressing the TEST key, in order to check correct
operation of the light and acoustic indicators and the outlet, as well as the electrovalve if
connected, and checking that the detector air inlets are dust and dirt-free. Do not use another test
method, such as the use of gas from lighters or from other devices that could damage the detector
sensor beyond repair.
The use of a suction device for the cleaning of the air inlets is recommended.
The detector outlet may be used for the activation of a cut-off valve on the incoming gas pipe.
Such valve will need a manual action for being reset in open position. The valve installation and
use is to be in accordance with Regulation EN1775 and domestic regulations.
