Installing With Screws and Anchors |
A. Using the mounting plate, mark your hanging points with a pencil. B. Using a hammer, tap small “pilot holes” into the wall. C. DO NOT make the holes wider than the anchors. D. Place the anchors over the pilot holes & firmly tap them into the wall until flush. E. Place the mounting plate appropriately over the anchors and screw the mounting plate into the wall using the 2 screws. F. Attach the detector to the mounting plate by aligning it and twisting it clockwise until you hear the "click.” |

Note: Immediately after plugging in, the device beeps and begins the 3-minute long warm-up process.
2. Wait for the 3-minute warm-up process to finish.
Note: During the warm-up process, the detector will count down from 180 to 0. After the warm-up process is finished, the detector is operational.
3. Press the “TEST” button on the side of the detector to ensure the detector is functional (you will hear a beep after pressing “TEST”).
4. In the event of a gas leak when the gas concentration in the air reaches 8% LEL, the GasKnight 2.0 will alarm with an 85dB siren, a flashing indicator light, and the word “GAS” flashing on the screen.
5. While the alarm is sounding as a result of a gas leak, you may press the “TEST” button to silence it.
6. During a gas leak, if you do not press “TEST” to silence the alarm, it will continue to alarm until the LEL reaches 0%.
Note: After the LEL has returned to 0%, the siren, blinking indicator light, and flashing “GAS” will stop signifying that the detector has re-calibrated and returned to operational monitoring status.
7. Enjoy the added safety of having the GasKnight 2.0 in your home.
Maintenance: Recalibrate each 6 months by unplugging and plugging back in.
Replace detector 3 years after purchase date.
Testing: Test weekly. Press the “TEST” button or use a gas/propane source to test.
