29、OM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover electrically operated gas detectors intended for installation in residential occupancies and recreational vehicles (RVs). 1.2 These requirements cover gas detectors intended to detect ammable gases such as propane and natural gas. 1.3 These req
30、uirements also cover all remote accessories that may be connected to a gas detector. 1.4 These requirements do not cover gas detectors for use in hazardous locations, as dened by the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, for industrial or commercial use, or for use as smoke and re detectors. 2 Componen
31、ts 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a speci
32、c requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard; or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended condit
33、ions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. A

Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate informa
35、tion. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Terminology 5.1 The term product as used in these requirements refers to all or any part of a
36、product covered by these requirements unless specically noted otherwise. 6 Glossary 6.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 6.2 ALARM SIGNAL A signal intended to indicate a gas concentration in excess of the preset detector alarm level. 6.3 COMPONENTS: a) Nonreliable Comp
37、onent A component that is expected to fail and be periodically replaced and the failure of which is supervised. Typical examples of such components include incandescent lamps, electronic tube heaters, and functional heating elements. b) Reliable Component A component that is not expected to fail or
38、be periodically replaced and is not supervised. A reliable component shall have a predicted failure rate of 3.5 or fewer failures per million hours. 6.4 DETECTION THRESHOLD The minimum gas concentration at which the detector will alarm. 6.5 DETECTOR, GAS A self-contained alarm device that consists o
39、f an assembly of electrical components including an element to detect gas concentration, an alarm sounding appliance, and provision for connection to a power supply source by either splice leads or a cord and plug arrangement. Terminals may be included for connection to a remote audible signaling ap
40、pliance or accessory. 6.6 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS: a) High-Voltage Circuit A circuit involving a potential of not more than 600 volts and having circuit characteristics in excess of those of a low-voltage circuit. b) Low-Voltage Circuit A circuit involving a potential of not more than 30 volts AC, rms,
41、42.4 volts DC or AC peak and: 1) Supplied by an NEC Class 2 transformer, or by a transformer and xed impedance each of which, as a unit, is in compliance with the requirements for a Class 2 transformer; or APRIL 20, 2016 RESIDENTIAL GAS DETECTORS - UL 1484 8UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR
42、 FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2) Limited to a maximum of 100 volt-amperes. A circuit derived from a source of supply classied as a high-voltage circuit, by connecting resistance in series with the supply classied as a high-voltage circuit, is not considered to be a
43、 low-voltage circuit. 6.7 END-OF-LIFE-SIGNAL An audible signal, differing from the alarm signal, intended to indicate that the device has reached the end of its useful life and should be replaced. It is permitted for the audible component of the signal to be of the same format as a trouble signal, p
44、rovided a visual indicator is employed to differentiate between the end-of-life and other trouble conditions. The end-of-life signal shall repeat once every 30 60 seconds 10 percent. 6.8 LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL) The minimum concentration of a gas in air which, if ignited, will propagate ame throu
45、ghout the gas-air mixture independently of continued application of the source of ignition; expressed as a percent by volume of gas in air. 6.9 NORMAL STANDBY CONDITION The operating condition of the detector as intended by the manufacturer in which the detector is ready for alarm-signaling performa
46、nce. 6.10 SPECIFIED LIFETIME A continuous period of time specied by the manufacturer, during which the alarm meets the requirements of this standard. The manufacturer will specify the start date of the period as either the date of manufacture of the fully assembled unit in its nal enclosure, or the
47、date the unit is placed into service. 6.11 SWITCHING DEVICE A device designed to close and/or open one or more electrical circuits. 6.12 TROUBLE SIGNAL A visual or audible signal intended to indicate a fault or trouble condition, such as an open or shorted condition of a component in the device or a
48、n open or ground in the connected wiring. 7 Detector Reliability Prediction 7.1 A detector unit shall be intended for a failure rate of not more than: a) 4.0 failures per million hours as calculated by a full part stress analysis prediction as described in Section 5.1 of MIL-HBK 217 or b) 3.5 failur
49、es per million hours as calculated by a simplied parts count-reliability prediction as described in Section 5.2 of MIL-HBK 217, or equivalent. A Ground Fixed (G F ) environment is to be used for all calculations. If equivalent data is available from the manufacturer, it may be used in lieu of the projected data for the purpose of determining acceptable reliability. 7.2 Any component, the failure of which results in an audible trouble signal, shall not be included in t
