Warning:
Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
Caution:
For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read
and understand the user manual completely before operating or servicing.
Do not use the detector if it is damaged. Before you use the detector, inspect the case. Look for cracks or
missing parts.
If the detector is damaged or something is missing, contact
BW Technologies by Honeywell
immediately.
Use only sensor(s) specifically designed for your GasAlertMicroClip model. (See the section,
Replacement Parts
and Accessories
).
Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor
exposure to poisons and contaminants. BW recommends at least once every 180 days (6 months).
BW recommends to “bump test” the sensors, before each day’s use, to confirm their ability to respond to gas by
exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible
and visual alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.
It is recommended that the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after
any known exposure to catalyst contaminants/poisons (sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated
compounds, etc).
The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in
the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.
Caution: High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA
International.
