Installation; Areas To Avoid - MasterGuard GS-500 Manual Del Usuario

Installation

The GS-500 for Combustible Gas plugs directly into a standard 110-
volt AC household outlet. This socket should not be controlled by a
switch: this will prevent someone from inadvertently tuming off the
unit. The ventilation slots must not be blocked and the unit must be
kept free of dust. A proper airflow must be maintained through the
unit to obtain an air sampling representative of that area of the house
where the sensor is situated. The only maintenance the unit requires is
a thorough vacuuming once every month.
CAUTION: When the unit has been stored unplugged for several
weeks, its sensitivity to combustible gases will decline.
To restore the unit to normal sensitivity, allow a 24-
hour warm-up period.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
Removing the back cover will void the warranty.

Areas to Avoid

Do not locate the detector where the flow of air through the ventilation
slots might be blocked. The unit must be located at least three feet
from any gas appliance to eliminate false alarms but should not be
placed over 20 feet from such appliances. Locate the unit away from
any sources of vapor such as alcohol, liquor, vehicle exhaust, hair
spray, cleaning agents, deodorants, paint, fluorocarbons, or industrial
solvents because vapors from these substances will trigger false
alarms.
