The Carbest 2-in-1 Gas Detector is a wall-mounted device designed to detect leaking Propane/Butane (LPG) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). It operates on a 12V DC power supply and features a 3-minute warm-up period upon startup. The device provides both optical and acoustic alarms.
Product Overview
The detector consists of the following main components:
- Power Cable: For 12V DC connection.
- Air Intake: Area for gas detection.
- Test Button: Used for manual testing.
- LED Indicator: Displays operational status.
- Buzzer: Emits acoustic alarm signals.
Installation
Proper installation is critical for effective detection. The mounting height depends on the density of the gas you are monitoring:
- Gas heavier than air (e.g., LPG/Propane/Butane): Install 0.3 to 1.0 meters from the floor, within 1.5 meters of the gas source.
- Gas lighter than air (e.g., CO): Install 0.3 to 1.0 meters from the ceiling.
Operation
The detector operates independently once installed:
- Warm-up: Upon connecting to 12V DC power, the green LED flashes for approximately 3 minutes.
- Normal State: Once the green LED remains lit, the detector is in normal working mode.
- Alarm: If gas is detected, the red LED flashes, and the buzzer sounds a voice alarm.
- Voice Alarm: The device provides specific voice alerts for gas leaks and carbon monoxide detection.
Testing
To test the detector, you can use an unlit lighter to release a small amount of gas near the air intake (approx. 5 cm distance). Alternatively, press the test button to verify the CO alarm function. The device will return to normal operation once the gas concentration drops below the alarm threshold.
LED Status Indicators
- Preheating State: Green light flashes.
- Standby Mode: Green light on.
- CO & Gas Alarm: Red light flashes.
- CO & Gas Fault: Red light on.
Troubleshooting
If the buzzer emits a long beep and the red LED is on, this indicates an internal sensor failure. Disconnect the power supply and contact the After Service Center. If the detector behaves erratically, power it off and restart it.
Maintenance
Perform periodic maintenance according to the instructions and ensure the detector is tested at least every six months.
