GAS Alert placement
Gas/CO Alert needs to be plugged in. One requirement for the Gas/CO Alert location is that a WiFi network is available to access Myspool cloud servers.
Natural gas is mostly methane: being lighter than air it rises and accumulates in the ceiling area. So if you have natural gas in your kitchen, place MySpool GAS/CO Alert about a foot below the ceiling and a few feet away from the gas source.
LPG is a mixture of propane and butane. It is heavier than air and tends to go down. So if you have LPG, propane or butane gas source, place MySpool GAS/CO Alert about a foot above ground and a few feet away from the gas source. Please refer to the diagram for installation hints
To test, press the TEST on the Gas/CO Alert. You can also use a butane lighter without the flame: hold it under the sensor for a few seconds. You should get an email and a text message within a minute.
Please remember that the portal limits the number of Gas/CO alerts to one every 5 minutes. So you may need to wait for 5 minutes to get a second text message. Email and pushbullet notifications are limited to 1 per minute.
