5.1.1 Placing the product
The products must not be mounted in the following areas:
• Areas in which the product cannot detect escaping gas (for example,
behind curtains or in cupboards).
• In the immediate vicinity of a stove or above a sink
• Next to doors, windows, fans, air conditioning systems
• In areas in which dust or dirt can contaminate the product.
5.1.2 Detection of propane/butane
Propane and butane are heavier than air. Therefore, the product must be
mounted in the floor area of the monitored room if propane or butane are
to be detected.
Verify that there are no openings in the floor or near the floor through
which the gas can escape into rooms or spaces at a lower level.
Verify that the product is not mounted directly next to an exit.
- Propane and butane can diffuse on the floor.
1. Mount the product close to the floor at a height of 30 - 40 cm above the
floor and at a maximum distance of 5 m from the gas source to be mon-
itored.
- In the case of sloping floors, mount the product at the lowest point of
the sloping floor.
5.1.3 Detection of methane
Methane is lighter than air. Therefore, the product must be mounted below
the ceiling of the monitored room if methane is to be detected. Verify that
there are no wall openings (doors, pass-throughs, extractor hoods) in the
vicinity of the product through which the gas can escape into adjacent
rooms.
1. Mount the product 30 - 40 cm below the ceiling and at a maximum dis-
tance of 5 m from the gas source to be monitored.
- Mount the product above the level of the highest door opening or win-
dow opening of the room.
- In the case of sloping ceilings, mount the product at the highest point
of the ceiling.
