INSTALLATION

Planning

Our monitors should be installed in areas at risk of gas leaks e.g. over boilers, valves, meters or
storage of LPG. Take in to account the design of the air flow patterns within the zone area.
Detectors should be installed in the correct orientation, as recommended by the
manufacturer, and ease of access should be accounted for to allow for any bump tests,
recalibration and other forms of maintenance.

Typical Location and Positioning

Consider the coverage required and function of the area. Emphasis should be placed on
airflow patterns and correct placement, not perceived detecting ranges. The target gas will
only be identified when contact is made with the sensing element itself.
Multiple detectors may be required to adequately protect property and persons.
Locations for detectors will vary based on the intended application, they should be located
near identified sources of a potential gas leaks/ pockets where hazardous gas could quickly
accumulate and areas of identified consequential risk.
6ft from sources of combustion e.g. boilers/ heaters/ gas fired appliances etc.
a)
4ft from draft zones and ventilation areas e.g. windows, doorways and A/C units etc.
b)
5ft from ground level.
c)
Recommended heights may vary based on air flow and temperature conditions in addition to
the proposed application and location. The device should be mounted near the boiler or gas
fired appliance/s such as domestic & commercial boiler rooms and basements.
When choosing your location, make sure you are able to hear the alarm from all areas.
Avoid conditions of any other environmental factors that could potentially impede the
accuracy and operation of the detector such as; condensation; vibration; temperature,
pressure, the presence of other gases, electromagnetic interference and draft zones.
