Gas Detector Safety Precautions
1.
Never ignore a high alarm condition. This gas detector is designed to detect
hazardous atmospheric conditions. An indication of life threatening hazards should
be taken seriously.
2.
Turn on, and allow the unit to warm up, BEFORE entering the area when gases
are to be detected.
3.
High or off-scale readings may indicate a flammable gas concentration.
4.
Before entering an area for testing, make a test of the unit in a safe area with a
small amount of known gas from a container. Then test again with clean air. The
reading should return to zeros.
5.
Where a high or alarm condition is detected, evacuate the affected area and
contact the local fire department, gas company, or other proper authorities from
outside the affected area. Without switching on any electrical devices, properly
ventilate the area before reentering and retest.
