WARNING: ONLY USE THE MONITOR TO MONITOR THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE
GASES AND CONCENTRATIONS FOR WHICH IT IS SET-UP TO DETECT.
WARNING: TO PREVENT IGNITION OF AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE, READ AND
ADHERE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S LIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
WARNING: READ THIS MANUAL FOR INTRINSIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR INTRINSIC SAFETY,

exposing the monitor to a targeted gas concentration above the high alarm
set point.

CAUTION: Do not expose the monitor to severe mechanical or electrical shock. Always
conduct device startup and bump test procedures after such exposure to
verify the monitor's operation and accuracy.
WARNING: EXTENDED EXPOSURE OF THE DETECTOR TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
OF TOXIC GASES MAY RESULT IN DEGRADED SENSOR PERFORMANCE.
IF AN ALARM OCCURS DUE TO HIGH CONCENTRATION OF TOXIC
GASES, EXIT TO A SAFE AREA, BUMP TEST, RECALIBRATE IF
NECESSARY OR, IF NEEDED, CONTACT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE.
