Wireless Gas Leak Detector
(Model EL-2762)
Introduction
Electronics Line Ltd's Wireless Gas Leak Detector detects
mixtures of air and combustible gases (Natural Gas, Methane,
Propane and Butane).
Upon detecting the presence of gas, the unit emits an alarm and
notifies the control panel.
The main features of your Wireless Gas Leak Detector include the
following:
Integrated transmitter designed for use EL's wireless alarm
systems
Easy to install
Monitoring for Natural Gas, Methane, Propane and Butane in
a continuous manner
Loud alarm (85 dB) when detecting a buildup of Gas
Test button
Self-test
Selecting the installation location
The Wireless Gas Leak Detector will function effectively if installed in the
correct location. Consider the following before mounting the gas alarm:
Methane (Natural) Gas: Methane is lighter than air,
therefore the greatest concentration of gas is found right
below the ceiling, and therefore the Wireless Gas Leak
Detector should be installed on the wall, approximately 30
cm (12”) below the ceiling.
Butane Gas: Propane and Butane are heavier than air,
therefore the greatest concentration of gas is found right
above the floor level. The Wireless Gas Leak Detector
should therefore be installed about 30cm (12”) above the
floor. Do not mount in a location where the gas alarm
could be damaged by dirt, liquids, etc.
Note:
Do not install the detector on the ceiling or on the floor.
Install the detector in close proximity to every
gas-operated appliance.
Do not:
•Install the gas detector directly on any gas appliance.
•Install the gas detector in sealed or closed compartments or
in an area where a wall or a closed door can obstructs the
flow of gas to the gas alarm.
•Install the gas detector in locations where fans, open doors,
open windows etc. may prevent gas from reaching the
sensor.
•Install the gas detector in any room where aerosols or
ammonia are used (e.g. bathrooms).
To install the detector:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit according to Fig. 1.

2. Hold the Mounting bracket against the wall as a template and
mark the locations for the 2 mounting holes.
3. Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) drill bit, drill two holes at the marks
and insert wall plugs (Fig. 2).

4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
5. Line up the side slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the
detector onto the mounting bracket and fix it (see arrow
direction, Fig. 2). Pull the detector outwards to make sure that it
is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
6. Connect the detector power cable to the wall power outlet.
Transmitter/Receiver Communication Setup
1. Set the panel to registration mode.
2. Insert the batteries into compartment. The detector enters
registration mode during which a transmission is sent every
few seconds. You can terminate registration mode by
pressing the Test Button. Test mode is automatically
terminated after approximately five minutes.
3. Verify that the detector has been identified by the receiver.

DETECTOR MALFUNCTIONING
A malfunctioning unit is indicated by beep-sounding on and off
sequentially, i.e., beeping for 3 seconds with 3 seconds delay
between two beeps. If this occurs, unplug the detector from the
power source for 10 seconds and then plug the unit again. Should
the unit beep intermittently, DO NOT use this detector. Send the
malfunctioning unit for servicing.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR
You have to maintain the detector frequently to ensure it working
properly. Few tips are provided for you to take care of your detector:
1. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents occasionally to
keep them free of dust.
2. Push the Test button on your detector to test its operating
function once every week.
LED & BUZZER Indication
The LED light and buzzer turn on and/or off to indicate various
situations. There are four different light and buzzer operations:

ACTIONS TO TAKE WHEN ALARM SOUNDING
In case of harmful levels of gas being detected, your detector will
go into a continuous full alarm. Try to take the following necessary
actions immediately or evacuate the building:
(a) Widely open doors and windows
(b) Disconnect electrical appliances
(b) Avoid open fire
(c) Repair the gas leak by a professional gas repairer
ACTIONS TO TAKE AFTER THE PROBLEM IS
CORRECTED
Once the problem about the gas presence in the premises has
been corrected, the alarm of the detector should be off. After
waiting for 10 minutes, push the Test button to test the detector so
that you can make sure that the detector is working properly again.
