Warnings

  

The Dust Detective does not present a safety risk when you use it as instructed in this User Manual. 
However, it is possible that the environment where you use the instrument may present a safety risk. 
For this reason, always follow correct, safe working practices.

 

The  Microdust  Pro  and  associated  Static  Sampling  Unit  is  non-intrinsically  safe  and  MUST  NOT  be  used 
within a hazardous area. 

DISPOSAL  OF  BATTERIES:  Batteries  and  battery  packs  must  never  be  disposed  of  by  placing  in  a  fire  or 
incinerator, nor must they be punctured, crushed or otherwise mutilated or opened up in any way. Disposal 
must be in accordance to local environmental legislation. 

Ensure the Apex2 and Microdust Pro are held firmly by the Velcro straps provided, otherwise damage to the 
instruments could occur. 

All  optical  measurement systems  are sensitive  to  the  presence  of  moisture  droplets  both  in  the  air  and 
bonded to particulate matter. To prevent possible measurement errors, the system should not be used in 
conditions of high humidity, rainfall or condensation. 

The purge valve must not be closed during operation. Failure to open it will result in pump shutdown errors.
