Sample inlet coupling:
The sample inlet coupling is a metal
quick disconnect fitting located at the front of the Cannonball3.
Sample draw probe assemblies must be attached to the
sample inlet coupling for the Cannonball3 to function properly.

Chapter 2. Basic operation
This chapter will cover how to use the Cannonball3 for safe
work in potentially hazardous atmospheres.
2.1 Operational warnings and cautions
1.
The Cannonball3 personal,
portable gas detector has been designed for the
detection of dangerous atmospheric conditions. An
alarm condition indicates the presence of a potentially
life-threatening hazard and should be taken very
seriously. Failure to immediately leave the area during
an alarm condition may result in serious injury or
death.
2.
In the event of an alarm condition
it is important to follow established procedures. The
safest course of action is to immediately leave the
affected area, and to return only after further testing
determines that the area is once again safe for entry.
Failure to immediately leave the area during an alarm
condition may result in serious injury or death.
3.
Use only Energizer E95 or EN95,
Duracell MN1300, or Duracell PC1300, 1.5V D cell
Alkaline batteries in the Cannonball3. Substitution of
batteries may impair intrinsic safety.
4.
The accuracy of the Cannonball3
should be checked periodically with known
concentration calibration gas. Failure to check
accuracy can lead to inaccurate and potentially
dangerous readings.
5.
The accuracy of the Cannonball3
should be checked immediately following any known
exposure to contaminants by testing with known
concentration test gas before further use. Failure to
check accuracy can lead to inaccurate and potentially
dangerous readings.
6.
A sensor that cannot be
calibrated or is found to be out of tolerance should be
replaced immediately. An instrument that fails
calibration may not be used until testing with known
concentration test gas determines that accuracy has
been restored, and the instrument is once again fit for
use.
7.
Do not reset the calibration gas
concentration unless you are using a calibration gas
concentration that differs from the one that is
normally supplied by Sperian Instrumentation for use
in calibrating the Cannonball3. Use of inappropriate
calibration gas may lead to in accurate and potentially
dangerous readings.
Customers are strongly urged to use only Sperian
Instrumentation calibration materials when calibrating
the Cannonball3. Use of non-standard calibration gas
and/or calibration kit components can lead to
dangerously inaccurate readings and may void the
standard Sperian Instrumentation warranty.
8.
Use of non-standard calibration
gas and/or calibration kit components when
calibrating the Cannonball3 can lead to inaccurate and
