Welcome to the Natural Gas Detector.
This guide is for use with the Natural Gas (methane) Detector
Tunstall part number 69005/10.
What is the Natural Gas Detector?
The Natural Gas Detector has an integrated 869 MHz radio
module. The unit is mounted on a wall bracket - with moulded
screw holes. The product has been assembled and programmed
to simplify installation.

How to install the Natural Gas Detector
We recommend the installation to be carried out by competent personnel
as an incorrect detector installation position can reduce the detector’s
effectiveness.
1. Decide on the location of the Natural Gas Detector and
ensure it meets the guidelines of the manufacturer’s
manual found inside the box.
i. Methane gas is lighter than air and will tend to
rise upwards; in order to maximise the
effectiveness of the detection the unit should be
placed 30cm from the ceiling.
ii. The detector should not be installed close to
cooking appliances sinks fans and in areas where
environmental conditions differ from those
recommended and specified in this document.
2. Drill two holes to line up with the key-slot holes in the
wall mounting bracket securely fit two screws and leave
the heads of the screws protruding from the wall for the
wall plate to fit onto.
3. The Gas detector must be installed by a competent
person qualified to carry out electrical work
according to current national wiring regulations.
4. The installer should refer to the current edition of
the European Standard EN 50244 “Electrical
apparatus for the detection of combustible gases in
domestic premises – Guide on the selection
installation use and maintenance.”

5. The installation must include some form of isolation
switch to allow for future maintenance work.
6. All necessary care should be taken to ensure that
the unit cannot be disconnected accidentally.
7. Once connected to the mains the gas detector needs a
warm-up period of 3-4 minutes after which the unit will
work.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER ROM THE NATURAL GAS
DETECTOR WHEN THE DETECTOR IS CONNECTED TO MAINS
POWER.
Pairing the Natural Gas Detector to a Tunstall Lifeline.
1. Place the Lifeline home unit into telecare sensor assign
mode by pressing the green cancel button until the unit
beeps and/or announces ‘Programming Mode’ then
press and hold the green cancel button again until the
unit beeps release the cancel button and the unit will
announce ‘Registration Mode’ .
2. Generate a radio transmission from the Natural Gas
Detector by placing the magnet (supplied in the box)
adjacent to the Detector at the point labelled
“MAGNET”. The Lifeline will announce “Gas Detector” to
confirm pairing was successful.

3. Once pairing has completed and the Natural Gas
Detector has finished its warm-up period; an end-to end
test can be performed using the following method:
End to end test:
1. To test the detector's correct functioning and to ensure
the successful pairing with the Tunstall Lifeline; use a
certified mixture of sample gas and by verifying that the
Lifeline announces and raises an alarm. Using a gas
bottle with maximum concentration of 25% LEL
Methane balanced in air and set the gas flow at 0.5
litre/minute max (Speciality Gas UK www.speciality-
gases.com supplies such gas bottles).
DO NOT USE THE GAS O LIGHTERS TO TEST THE OPERATION O
THE DETECTOR, AS THIS LIGHTER GAS WILL IRRETRIEVABLY
DAMAGE THE BUILT IN SENSOR.
