Gas detector Gazex DK-15 — domestic propane-butane sensor, mains 230V

Gazex DK-15 is a mains-powered indoor gas detector designed to monitor concentrations of propane and butane (LPG) in residential and utility spaces. Intended for continuous operation on 230 V supply, the DK-15 provides early detection of elevated gas levels and issues audible and/or visual alarms to alert occupants. The compact design and fixed installation make it suitable for permanent placement in kitchens, boiler rooms and other rooms with LPG appliances.

Advantages

The Gazex DK-15 offers reliable, continuous monitoring of propane and butane with mains power for uninterrupted operation. Its detection is tuned for LPG gases, providing prompt alarm signaling when concentrations approach hazardous levels. The unit’s design supports permanent wall mounting and straightforward electrical connection to a 230 V supply, reducing maintenance related to batteries. The detector is intended to complement ventilation and appliance maintenance by providing an independent layer of safety.

Suitable for

• Kitchens with LPG stoves or cooktops
• Boiler rooms and areas with LPG-fired heaters
• Utility rooms and garages where LPG cylinders or piping are present
• Rental properties and residential dwellings requiring fixed gas monitoring

Key specifications

• Gas types detected: propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10)
• Power supply: mains 230 V AC for continuous operation
• Intended mounting: fixed wall installation indoors
• Alarm indications: audible alarm and visual signal (LED)
• Operating environment: indoor residential and utility spaces

How to use

Install the Gazex DK-15 on an interior wall at the recommended height according to the manufacturer’s installation guide, ensuring proximity to potential leak sources while avoiding direct drafts from windows or ventilation outlets. Connect the detector to a 230 V AC supply following local electrical codes and safety practices; installation by a qualified electrician is recommended. Once powered, the detector continuously monitors air for propane and butane; if gas concentrations rise above preset thresholds, the device triggers its alarm indicators. Regularly test the unit using the test function specified in the user manual and follow any lamp or alarm diagnostics provided by the device.

Usage recommendations

Place the detector where leaked LPG is most likely to accumulate, typically near the floor for butane or slightly higher for propane depending on room ventilation. Do not obstruct the sensor with furniture or curtains, and avoid mounting near strong drafts or direct heat sources. Maintain periodic checks and functional tests as described in the product manual and arrange professional inspection of gas appliances and piping if the detector signals an alarm.
