The Pilot mini gas alarm has a single gas alarm. It has one gas detection sensor on a 3.5 metre length of 3-core cable. The unit draws 98 milliamps at standby rising to 100 milliamps in the event of an alarm.  Dimensions: 35mm x 53mmx 100mm.

PILOT GAS ALARMS

Pilot gas alarms are powered directly by a 12/24 volt battery. They sense and give an alarm for LPG, butane and propane. The units are not calibrated for diesel fumes and petrol vapour but these will be detected at higher concentrations. Sensors should be fitted as low as possible but must not get wet.  They are important and effective safety equipment and are complimented by the solenoid gas shut-off valve available with some specifications .  operating voltage is 12/24 volts 

Installation

Warning: Disconnect the power supply before proceeding with the installation!

  • The power supply must come from the vessel's Master Switch in order to activate the Gas Alarm whenever the power is on.
  • The Twin Channel Gas Alarm Mk2 will work on a 12V or 24V DC supply.

Suitable Locations

  • The main unit should be in a location where the alarm is audible and the LEDs can be seen. It must be protected from the elements however, ventilation holes should not be covered up.
  • The gas sensor should be mounted as low as possible in a position where they will remain dry - near gas appliances at floor level or just underneath floorboards is ideal.
  • There are cable routing and mounting holes on the rear and bottom of the unit casing.

Initialisation:

When the Twin Channel Gas Alarm Mk2 is first switched on it will begin its stabilisation process. The green LED will be on and the red will flash along with a beeping sound.

The stabilisation process may take up to 8 minutes. However, after 30 seconds the beep will stop.

When the unit has stabilised there will be one long beep and then the red LED and beep will stop.

If the alarm (constant tone and red LED) continues to sound after initialisation immediate action must be taken:

1. Ensure nothing is used which could ignite gas (matches, engine ignition etc.) and shut off all gas

2. Ventilate the area by opening doors and hatches

3. Investigate and remove any source of dangerous vapour

4. The alarm will stop once the vapour has been safely removed.

5. If the unit still alarms, see troubleshooting and Sensor replacement.

Testing:

The alarm may be tested at any time in two ways:

1. By pressing the "TEST" button, which simulates a presence of gas and should immediately sound the alarm and light the red LED

2. By allowing a small amount of lighter fluid vapour to pass by the sensor, which will test the sensor itself.

It is important to note that a failing or aged sensor will be detected by the main unit and will cause an alarm. Disconnecting the sensor will also cause an alarm.
