Placement of the warning device / sensor for
refrigerants whose vapors are heavier than air:
Plug the alarm into a socket below or mount the sen-
sor at a height of 15-30 cm from the floor, but no more
than 4 m from the air conditioner. For example, R-290/
propane is heavier than air and will sink to the bottom.
It spreads there like water and collects in depressions.
GAS ALARM
The alarm unit may not be used in the following positions:
• Places that could prevent the alarm from being triggered in the event of a gas leak (e.g.
behind curtains or in cupboards, unless the air conditioning unit is in the same cupboard)
• directly above hearths or points of combustion or over a wash basin or sink
• next to a door, windows, ventilator, fan, air conditioning unit etc.
• in areas where dust or dirt can prevent the sensor from working
• in areas at risk of explosion.
INSTALLATION
The GAS ALARM GX-K1 / -K2 is simply plugged into a 230V / 50Hz socket. The LED
(Function) indicator lights up once in each color, a short alarm tone can be heard. The sen-
sor of the monitoring system needs a warm-up time of 3-5 minutes to achieve functionality,
during that time the green LED flashes. The LED (Operate) then lights up green and the
gas warning device is ready for operation.
ATTENTION: Due to different transport conditions (long storage / humidity) an alarm can
be triggered immediately after the heating-up time (LED flashes red). Briefly disconnect
the device from the mains and start the heating time again. This process may have to be
repeated up to three times.
TEST button
In the event of an alarm, the alarm tone is muted with the TEST button, the red LED conti-
nues to flash until no more gas is detected.
In monitoring mode, use the TEST button to test the function of the LEDs and the acoustic
alarm device. The sensor cannot be tested with it.
FAILURE
If a fault is detected, the LED (error) flashes yellow and the acoustic alarm sounds every 30
seconds. Unplug the device and plug it in again, with the GX-K2 please check the sensor
cable and the plug on the sensor. Get in contact with Elektrotechnik Schabus.
