CANARY
USER MANUAL
DESCRIPTION
CANARY is an electronic device for detection of explosive gases (propane-butane and earth gas)
that are being used in domestic housework. It can detect very small concentrations of gas below
5% of Lower Explosive Level (LEL). When the alarm level is exceeded, the device mediates light
and sound signal (approx. 85 dB). Until the gas is present, the alarm keeps howling.
*LEL Lower Explosion Level. LEL is level at which the mixture of air and explosive gas can ignite at
the present of spark or any other energy.
SECURITY WARNINGS
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and

• The device should be kept in original package in a dry place and within
the prescribed temperature range.
• Any device processing or changes in design are not allowed.
• The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for personal injury,
death or any other damages resulting from the processing device,
improper use or inadequate maintenance.
• In the case of repairs or maintenance only use of manufacturer original
spare parts are allowed.
• Connection and mounting of the device must be carried out exclusively
by suitably qualified personnel.
• Canary can only be connected to the grid power supply 230V
CONNECTION AND OPERATION:
The device is connected on an electric grid (230V/50Hz) through connection wire with the plug.
When the device is connected, 4 phases take place:
TEST: For approx. 3 seconds the piezo beeper switches ON. Then the green, red and orange
control lights on the device flash with 3 seconds interval. Device performs test cca 40 seconds.
O.K.: If the device works properly and there is no explosive gas present, the green light will
impulsively blink.
ALARM: When the alarm level is exceeded, the sound signal and red control light are impulsively
switched on. If the concentration of the explosive gas is still rising, the speed of beeping and the
red light flashing will increase. As long the explosive gas is present, the alarm will continuously
howl. When the concentration of gas falls, the alarm is shut down automatically.
FAULT: In case of malfunction on a sensor, the device will impulsively switch on the sound signal
together with the orange control light. The device is not working properly. It needs to be serviced or
replaced
IMPORTANT
• This device reacts in the presence of other highly flammable and vaporizable substances.
• A damaged connecting cord can only be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or any
other authorized person.
• Risk of electric shock
• Mount device directly to the source of danger.
• In the case of propane-butane gas the device should be mounted next to the gas tank, approx.
0-20 cm of the floor. Propane-b tane is heavier than air therefore it is gathering near to the
floor.
• If gas installation with natural gas is used than device should be mounted above the conducting
valve. Nat ral gas is lighter than air therefore it is gathering nder ceiling.
• If direct assembling is not possible, the device is mounted as shown on picture.
STEPS DURING THE ALARM
• Do not switch OFF or ON any electrical devices or any other sparkling devices.
• Open the doors and windows to ventilate the room!
• Check and eliminate the cause of gas leaking or call nearest gas service
• Device stops howling after the concentration is below set level < 5% LEL
