Cautions
• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA
International.
• For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
• Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper
scale limit, which may be hazardous.
• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• Use only BW approved batteries for the GasAlertQuattro detector. Refer to
.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. BW recommends the detector be charged after every workday.
• Charge the GasAlertQuattro using BW charger adapters designed for the GasAlertQuattro only. Do not use any other
charging adapter. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead to fire and/or explosion.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertQuattro to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress a
detector element, which can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentrations of
combustible gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the sensor replaced.
• Do not test the combustible sensor’s response with a butane cigarette lighter; doing so will damage the sensor.
• Do not expose the detector to electrical shock or severe continuous mechanical shock.
• Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm the detector.
• Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions for that procedure are provided in
this user manual and/or that part is listed as a replacement part. Use only BW Technologies by Honeywell
