NATURAL GAS

Natural Gas which is primarily Methane

(CH4), sometimes referred to as swamp

gas, is lighter than air and will rise.

IMPORTANT: The gas alarm you have

purchased is calibrated to detect Natural

Gas. If your gas supply comes from a

portable cylinder or storage tank it is more

likely to be propane, butane or a mixture

of these two Liqueﬁed Petroleum Gases

(LPG). This alarm is not suitable for

detecting LPG.

Natural gas is dangerous when the

concentration is high enough to become

explosive. The lowest concentration point

at which the combustible gas may become

explosive is called the Lower Explosive

Limit (LEL). FireAngel gas alarms are set to

alarm when the gas concentration reaches

10% of LEL.

Natural gas is odourless, therefore

additives known as stench agents are

mixed with the gas so it can be smelt. This

stench agent may be smelt at very low

concentrations of the gas and therefore it

may be possible to smell the gas prior to

the alarm giving an alarm signal.

If your alarm is in alarm immediately

telephone The UK Gas Emergency Service

Helpline 0800 111 999.

Tell the operator that you have a Natural

Gas alarm in your home and it is in full

alarm indicating that it has detected

dangerous levels of gas in the air and you

are concerned that gas is leaking.

Common Sources of Natural Gas:

• Cookers or other Gas powered

appliances

• Boilers

• Gas Fires

Do not: Ignore any warning from your gas

alarm!

WHERE TO INSTALL

YOUR ALARM

The Natural Gas alarm is suitable for use

in domestic premises and static caravans

with a mains gas supply.

WARNING: This alarm will only indicate

the presence of Natural Gas at the sensor.

Natural Gas may be present in other parts

of the property.

The alarm should be installed in any room

where a gas leak is possible to occur. The

most likely sources for a Natural Gas leak

are cookers, boilers and gas ﬁres.

Where in the room should the alarm

be located?

Firstly you must conﬁrm the type of gas in

your home.

Your NG-9B alarm is designed to detect

Natural Gas and is clearly marked with this

gas type.

Gas Alarm

Within 5m

Within 30cm

from

ceiling

As Natural Gas is lighter than air it will

naturally rise and build up at a high level

in the room. The NG-9B alarm should

therefore be placed above the highest

window, door or vent in the room. Ideally

within 30cm of the ceiling.

Do not locate your alarm:

• in an enclosed space (e.g. in a

cupboard or behind a curtain);

• directly above a sink;

• next to a door or window;

• next to an extractor fan;

• in an area where the temperature may

drop below −10 °C or exceed 50 °C;

• where dirt and dust may block the

sensor;

• in a damp or humid location.

• Its location should not be too close to

openings or ventilation ducts since

the airﬂow at these places may be

high and may locally decrease the gas

concentration.

The alarm should not be installed

immediately above or next to gas

appliances since small gas releases may

occur before ignition that may result in

unwanted alarms. It should be noted

that installation near cookers may lead

to:

• alarms produced by cooking vapours

and not gas escapes;

• contamination by grease that may

impede the correct operation of the

alarm.

Caravans and boats

IMPORTANT: Your NG-9B Natural Gas

alarm has not been designed or calibrated

to detect LPG which is most commonly

found in caravans and boats and as such is

not suitable for these vehicles.

HOW TO INSTALL

YOUR ALARM

compartment

eIf you have followed all of the

above steps correctly, your unit will

begin monitoring for Natural Gas

immediately.The Power LED will ﬂash

green once per minute to indicate that

the alarm is receiving power from the

batteries and is fully operational.

fTest that the sounder is working and the

batteries are providing power to the unit

by pressing and holding theTest button

for 1 second.The sounder should chirp

once as soon as the button is pressed,

the alarm LED will ﬂash red and the

power / fault indicator will ﬂash green

and yellow once to indicate that the

alarm is working.

WARNING: Prolonged exposure to the

sounder in close proximity to your ears

may damage your hearing.

Under normal operating conditions, the

batteries should last for at least 12 months.

The alarm will not detect Natural Gas

when the batteries are drained.

WARNING: Prolonged exposure to

extreme high or low temperatures may

reduce the life of the batteries.

OPERATING FEATURES

Your alarm offers many features which set

it apart from other Natural Gas alarms on

the market today.

Alarm Test, Silence and Reset Button

• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry.

• Silence the sounder for 3 minutes (only

when the gas detected is less than 20%

LEL).

• Reset the red alarm LED after an alarm

activation when the air is clear.

Testing the sounder, batteries and

circuitry

Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry

by pressing and holding the Test button

for approximately 1 second to conﬁrm

that the alarm is operating properly. The

green, red, then yellow LEDs will ﬂash,

and the sounder will sound indicating that

the alarm is working and the batteries are

providing power to the unit. This test for

the sounder, batteries and circuitry should

be performed monthly.

Silence the alarm

The alarms loud sounder can be silenced

for a short period (3 minutes) by pressing

and holding down the Test button for

approximately 1 second until the sound

stops.The red alarm indicator will continue

to ﬂash every second.

To reset the alarm indicator

If the alarm has alarmed, once the air is

clear the sounder will stop. It is possible

that an alarm event may happen due to

an intermittent occurrence when no one

is in the building.The red led indicator will

remain ﬂashing until it has been manually

reset.

To reset the red alarm press theTest button

twice within 2 seconds. The red LED will

turn off, should gas be detected, an alarm

will sound within 30 seconds.

UNDERSTANDING

THE PRODUCT’S

INDICATORS

The product is designed to immediately

alarm when it is exposed to ﬂammable gas

at a level of 10% of the Lower Explosive

Limit (LEL) or higher.

When ﬂammable gas is detected a loud

audible signal will be emitted and the

alarm LED will ﬂash red every second.

Fault / End of life signal:

The unit continuously checks the settings of

its sensor and circuitry. If any of these settings

are found to be incorrect then the alarm will

emit a audible chirp twice every 5 minutes

for up to 30 days. Replace unit immediately.

IMPORTANT: This does NOT mean that

the alarm has detected Natural Gas.

Low battery

If the batteries are low then the alarm will

emit a single audible chirp every minute for

up to 30 days. Replace batteries immediately.

If the product continues to chirp despite

having new batteries and the product is still

within warranty then contact Technical

Support on 0800 141 2561. If the

product is no longer in warranty replace it

immediately!
