In order to avoid losses caused by improper use by the majority of users, we summarize four precautions for everyone to know:
1. Choose the installation location correctly
According to the requirements of relevant departments, when the new house enters the household, it is a complete setFlammable gas detectorsThey are installed near the gas meter in the kitchen, and the instructions of many household Flammable gas detectors also require installation in the kitchen. However, because the gas is lighter than the air, if it is not detected in time after the leak, it will rush upstairs through the exhaust outlet, floor drain, etc., which may lead to poisoning of the residents upstairs. The mother machine is installed in the kitchen, the mother machine can be installed in the bedroom, and many citizens hang the alarm in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
Not a lot of people understandAlarmTechnicians install at least two alarms at home. Gas in the kitchenAlarmIt can detect the forgetting of its own gas or the leakage of indoor pipelines; The alarm installed near the bathroom exhaust outlet can detect the gas rushing downstairs or along the sewer in time; And the alarm installed in the bedroom can alert the sleeping person.
2. The detector should be self-tested at least once a month
of regular manufacturersFlammable gas detectorsThe use period is marked on the manual, more than 90% are marked as 3 years, and some brands of household flammable gas alarms are also specially stated in the manual, residents conduct self-inspection of the alarm at least once a month and introduce the self-test method.
However, quite a few residents who have installed the detector have never checked the detector at home, but subjectively believe that as long as the detector does not ring, the indicator light is on, it means that it is working normally.
The instrument manual is accompanied by a "self-test guide"
Professionals point out that the sensor is a sensitive device, and its sensitivity determines the reliability of the detector. The manual of the detector comes with a self-test guide, and you can also use a lighter or alcohol cotton ball to release a small amount of gas or swing several times at the bottom of the alarm when the power is turned on. Some manufacturers have upgraded the alarm sensor, and the alarm self-test needs to release a small amount of hydrogen or gas containing hydrogen.
3. When the detector alarms, the gas should be cut off and ventilated in time
Professionals said that when the detector alarmed, it did not mean that the person was going to be poisoned, but showed that there was a suspicious gas leak. The state has strict regulations on the range of alarm setting values for gas alarms, and the amount of this set value is lower than the value that may cause harm to the human body. In other words, when the alarm alarms, even if a normal person stands next to the leak point, as long as the gas and ventilation are cut off in time, it will not have adverse effects on the body.
4. Put thin stockings on the detector to prevent cockroaches from entering and causing false alarms
In addition, due to the low temperature in the north, it has been electrified for many yearsAlarmThe heat generated will attract mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc., causing false alarms. Experts suggest that when determining the alarm situation for similar reasons, the alarm can be covered with thin stockings, and the dense network of stockings can effectively block cockroaches from infesting the alarm, and good air permeability will not affect the sensitivity of the alarm to suspicious gases.
