Electrical apparatus for the detection of combustible gases in domestic premises - Guide on the selection, installation, use and maintenance

This draft European Standard provides information on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of apparatus for the detection of combustible gas designed for continuous operation in a fixed installation in domestic premises as described in the EN 50194 series. This guide should be read in conjunction with any additional relevant national or local regulations. The draft European Standard refers to the installation of two types of apparatus designed to operate in the event of an escape of town gas, natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas: - Type A apparatus - to provide a visual and audible alarm and an executive action in the form of an output signal that may actuate directly or indirectly a shut-off device and/or other ancillary device; - Type B apparatus - to provide visual and audible alarms only. This guide is not applicable to the use of apparatus: - for the detection of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, see EN 50292; - for industrial or commercial premises, see EN 60079-29-2.

Električne naprave za zaznavanje vnetljivega plina v gospodinjstvih - Vodilo za izbiro, vgraditev, uporabo in vzdrževanje

Ta osnutek evropskega standarda podaja informacije za izbiro, vgradnjo, uporabo in vzdrževanje naprav za zaznavanje vnetljivega plina, ki so namenjene za neprekinjeno delovanje v inštalacijah, vgrajenih v stanovanjskih zgradbah, kot je opisano v skupini standardov EN 50194. Ta navodila je treba brati skupaj z vsemi dodatnimi ustreznimi nacionalnimi ali lokalnimi predpisi.
Osnutek evropskega standarda se nanaša na namestitev dveh vrst naprav, zasnovanih za delovanje v primeru uhajanja mestnega plina, naravnega plina ali utekočinjenega naftnega plina:
– naprave vrste A, ki sprožijo vizualni in zvočni alarm ter izvršno dejanje v obliki izhodnega signala, ki lahko neposredno ali posredno sproži napravo za zapiranje plina in/ali drugo pomožno napravo;
– naprave vrste B, ki sprožijo samo vizualni in zvočni alarm.
To vodilo se ne nanaša na uporabo naprav:
– za zaznavanje strupenih plinov, kot je ogljikov monoksid, glej standard EN 50292;
– za industrijske ali komercialne objekte glej standard EN 60079-29-2.
