Safety and Precautionary Measures to be adopted
WARNING
The following safety instructions must be observed implicitly. Only in this way can the safety
and health of the individual operators, and the correct functioning of the instrument, be
guaranteed.
•
The module described in this manual must be installed, operated and maintained in strict
accordance with their labels, cautions, instructions, and within the limitations stated.
•
The module is designed to detect volatile organic compounds or vapors in air.
•
The module is intended for installation in a higher-level device and not as standalone instrument.
•
The module must be installed in thermal isolated environment to achieve the full measurement
performance.
•
The only absolute method to ensure proper overall operation of the device is to check it with a
known concentration of the gas for which it has been calibrated.
Consequently, calibration checks must be included as part of the routine inspection of the system.
•
As with all modules of these types, high levels of, or long exposure to, certain compounds in the
tested atmosphere could contaminate the sensor. In atmospheres where the module may be
exposed to such materials, calibration must be performed frequently to ensure that the operation is
dependable and display indications are accurate.
•
Use only genuine manufacture replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures
provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair instrument performance. Repair or
alteration of the device, beyond the scope of these maintenance instructions or by anyone other
than an authorized manufacture service personnel, could cause the product to fail to perform as
designed.
•
The module as is is NOT designed for applications in hazardous areas.
•
The functionality of the module will be influenced by pollution. Checks for dust deposits must be
done at regular intervals.
