Geca SE330K User manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: POWER SUPPLY
Attention: undertrack cables are required to connect the instrument to the mains.
The gas detector must be powered at 230Vac 50/60Hz using terminals 1 and
2, or at 12Vdc using terminals 3 (+) and 4 (-). (Fig. 2).
A circuit breaker must be fitted that is able to disconnect the detector from the
power supply, with a contact distance of at least 3 mm, in accordance with the
European standard IEC EN 60335-1.
INSTALLING THE INSTRUMENT
The instrument MUST BE INSTALLED:
- In the case of Beta SE330KM and Beta SE333KM methane gas detectors,
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OUTPUT SIGNAL
The Beta SE330K and SE333K control units have an output relay with voltage-
free contacts; the rating of the contacts is 8A 250Vac/30Vdc.
LIGHTING DELAYS
After the detector is turned on, the catalytic sensor in the detector takes about a
minute to warm up, during which time the green LED blinks to indicate the alarm
is disabled.
INSTALLATION
Attention: the instrument must be installed and put out of service by a specialized
technician.
Your gas supply and any shut-off devices must be installed in conformity with the
domestic laws in force.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Beta SE330K and SE333K gas detectors are methane or LPG control units
with LEDs and a buzzer that warn of the presence of gas in the room. They are
designed to be operated either directly or in remote mode.
TheBeta detectors are calibrated to detect gas at 10% of the LEL (Lower Explosive
Limit); this threshold can vary according to environmental conditions but will not
exceed 15% of the LEL within the first five years of use. After such a period
or in case of lighting of the LED “FAULT”, the Interchangeable Sensor
has to be replaced.
With that aim, the package is provided with a printer label on which have to be
indicated the maturity of correct working period (5 years from installing date);
this printer label have to be filled by who makes the installation.
LEDSAND BUZZER
There are three LEDs on the front of each detector:
- GREEN LED (ON): indicates the instrument is powered.
- YELLOW LED (FAULT) + BUZZER: Indicates the sensor is broken.
- YELLOW LED (FAULT) blinking only: indicates the CO sensor
needs to be replaced.
- RED LED (ALARM): indicates the concentration of gas in the
air is above the alarm threshold.
If the gas sensor is defective, the buzzer will make a noise at a rate of every two
seconds, turning on the yellow LED and relay output.
In the event of an alarm, the red LED turns on and the buzzer and relay are
activated twenty seconds later.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Use a screwdriver to undo the screw on the right-hand side of the instrument and
lift the cover (Fig 1).
Position the base correctly and fasten it on the built-in 3-module box or on the
wall, using the screws and dowels provided. For installing the dowels drilling
the wall with a 5mm drill.

at a maximum distance of 30 cm from the ceiling; in the case of Beta SE330KG
and Beta SE333KG LPG gas detectors, at a maximum height of 30 cm above
the floor.
- At a distance of between 1 and 4 metres from the gas appliance (cooker, boiler,
etc.). If possible, in every room where there is a gas appliance and, in the case of
multi-storey buildings, at least one on each floor.
The instrument MUST NOT BE INSTALLED:
- Directly above the sink or gas appliance.
- In small rooms where alcohol, ammonia, spray cylinders or other substances
based on volatile solvents might be used.
- In closed environments or corners where there is no free circulation of air.
- Near walls or other obstacles that could prevent the flow of gas from the appliance
to the detector, or extractors and fans that could divert the flow of air.
- In environments where the temperature could exceed 40°C or fall below – 5°C.
- In environments where there is a high level of humidity or steam.

CONNECTION OF THE ELECTRIC VALVEAND REMOTE SENSORS
The Beta SE330K and SE333K control units each have two terminals (5-6) active
when closed, for connecting the following remote detectors (Fig. 3):
for METHANE gas: model SE195KM or model SE396KM.
for LPG gas: model SE195KG or model SE306KG.
If the remote sensors are not connected to terminals 5 and 6, these must not be
modified, and therefore kept disconnected at all times.
Do not forget that the electric valve must be installed on the gas pipe outside the
room to be controlled as it cannot protect against leaks upstream.
The Beta SE330K/SE333K + Beta SE330K/SE333K configuration is IMQ
certified.
The other configurations, Beta SE330K/SE333K + SE195K and Beta SE330/
SE333K + SE396K are not IMQ certified.

ATTENTION: If there is a temporary loss of power during operation with
positive logic, the N.C. valve closes automatically and will need to be reset
manually when power is restored.
NEGATIVE LOGIC (SE330K): in this case, the coil of the relay is
kept deactivated (Fig. 6).
It is perfect for N.O. (normally open) electric valves (Fig. 7) or N.C.
(normally closed) electric valves (Fig. 8).
In the event of an alarm, contacts 8 and 9 remain closed until the
alarm stops.

POSITIVE LOGIC – NEGATIVE LOGIC
The Beta SE330K and SE333K gas detector can control an electric valve using
two different logics:
1 – POSITIVE LOGIC (SE333K)
2 – NEGATIVE LOGIC (SE330K)
The J2 JUMPER allows you to select the one required.
N.B. The J2 JUMPER is set by default to NEGATIVE LOGIC (SE330K).

POSITIVE LOGIC (SE333K): in this case, the coil of the relay is
always live (Fig. 4) to ensure the inherent safety of the relay.
It is perfect for N.C. (normally closed) electric valves (Fig. 5).
In the event of an alarm, contacts 7 and 8 remain closed until the
alarm stops.

ROUTINE TESTING
You are advised to ask the installer to give the detector a general test at least
once a year.
IMPORTANT: Do not use pure gas, such as that in a lighter, directly
on the sensor since the sensor could be irremediably damaged.
OPERATION TEST
In the case of the Beta SE330K and SE333K models, before carrying out the
operation test, open the cover under the three LED lights (Fig. 9) with a flat-
headed screwdriver.
Fig.9
When this is done, it is possible to test operation of the instrument by pressing
and holding the little TEST button on the Sensor module (Fig. 10) of the Beta
SE330K and SE333K control unit for at least 2 seconds, or the button on the card
of the Beta SE396K remote detector, if connected, for at least 30 seconds.
All the LEDs turn on and the buzzer and relay output are activated for 5 seconds.
Fig.10
You will then need to re-engage the electric valve connected to the output of the
gas detector (if present).
N.B. Make sure the code of the new Sensor module matches
the code on the Sensor module to be replaced.
1_Turn off the detector, unplug it from
the mains and use a screwdriver to
lever off the little cover under the three
LEDs (Fig. 11).
2_Undo the two screw fasteners on
the Sensor module to be replaced
(Fig. 12).

LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (L.E.L.)
The use of different systems from the calibration gas sample cylinder, makes it
impossible to verify the proper functioning of the sensor.
Even when you want to recreate the actual conditions of danger for which protection
the gas sensor is installed, this is inapplicable.
As an example, the supply of gas from the normal home kitchen equipment.
Our detectors are calibrated at 10% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit).
The explanation is simple: lets suppose to have a kitchen measuring 3 meters.
wide by 4 meters in length, and with height of 3 meters.
- The volume of the kitchen is equivalent to 4 x 3 x 3 that is 36 m3, equal to 36,000
Lt.
When 4,4% of the volume of the kitchen, is filled of natural gas, in the room a
dangerous mixture is created.
- This 4,4% is called L.E.L (Lower Explosive Limit)
- In our case a 4,4% of 36.000Lt correspond to 1584Lt. (L.E.L.)
- Our detectors, according to the IMQ approvals operate at 10% of the LEL, then
10% of the value of 1584Lt, that in this case is 158,4LT, THEREFORE ONETHENTH
OF THE LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (L.E.L.)
Taking into consideration the fact that the house cooker has a gas nozzle of a few
tenths of a millimetre and that the gas pressure is of a few millibars, the gas flow
would allow the delivery of 158,4 litres of gas (sufficient to make the sensor react)
only after hours.
Even with broader gas supply sources, the peculiar and strong smell of natural
gas, makes impossible the human presence and it make evident the serious
danger situation even when the natural gas saturation is still too little to allow the
explosion.
REPLACING THE SENSOR
N.B. The Sensor module must be replaced by a specialized technician.
The sensor module should be replaced no more than TWICE, for a total
product life-span of 15 years.
Replace the Sensor module if the “FAULT” LED starts blinking, or by the expiry
date on the label on the cover.
Replace the label on the cover stating the expiry date (5 years after the date of
installing the new sensor module); this label must be compiled by the person who
installs the detector at the time of replacing the sensor module.

ATTENTION! In the event of an alarm:
1) Put out all naked flames.
2) Close the valve on the gas meter or LPG cylinder.
3) Do not turn any of the lights on or off; do not use any electrical
appliances or devices.
4) Open the doors and windows to increase ventilation in the
room.
If the alarm stops, find the cause and take appropriate action.
If the alarm continues and you cannot find and eliminate the
cause of the leak, vacate the premises and, when you are outside,
contact the gas emergency service.
WARNING
Remove any dust on the surface of the instrument with a cloth.
Do not attempt to open or dismount the gas detector since this could result in
electric shock and damage to the product.
Bear in mind that the sensor is also sensitive to commonly used products such
as sprays, detergents, alcohol, glue and paint.
These products can contain substances which, in high quantities, could trigger
the sensor and cause false alarms.
It is advisable to ventilate the room when using these products.
Do not forget that the detector cannot detect leaks outside the room in which it is
installed or leaks in the walls or under the floor.
The gas (methane or LPG) contains an additive that gives it an unpleasant
odour, to make it easy to detect by smell. If a ring on a gas hob is left on without
being lit, even for several minutes, the amount of gas will not be sufficient to
trigger the alarm of the detector (even though it can be clearly smelt).
In fact, the amount of gas in the room could be under the alarm threshold.
The detector does not work when there is a power cut.
After the instrument is turned on, the catalytic sensor in the detector takes about
a minute to ‘warm up’, during which time the green LED blinks to indicate the
sensor is warming up and the detector is not operational.
