The optics bench contains components that can be replaced by Honeywell
Analytics. Care should be exercised when lifting and removing the optics bench.
When removing the optics bench for off-site service, Honeywell Analytics suggests
an adjustable height wheeled platform or dolly be positioned level with the optics
drawer. With the drawer open, the bench can then be slid onto the platform and
transported as needed safely.
The backup exhaust pump is also heavy. Should the pump need replacing, care
should also be exercised.
Flammability
The construction of the ACM 150 monitor enclosure consists of nonflammable
materials. All high voltage (110/220VAC) is contained within nonflammable
enclosures.
Potential key failure points and trouble spots
Potential key failure points and trouble spots can include, but are not limited to:
• Chemical exposure due to leaking fittings
• Chemical exposures due to maintenance activities
• Potential electric shock from servicing electrical components
Methods to avoid potential hazards include the use of personal protective
equipment, various system level safety interlocks and administrative controls.
Potentially hazardous maintenance activities
When performing maintenance on the ACM 150 monitor, especially for those
installations that have had hazardous gas alarm incidents, purge all sample lines
with air or nitrogen to prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals. Also, when
performing maintenance on the sample cell or any components that may trap or
collect hazardous gas, use appropriate protective equipment to limit exposure to any
possible gas sample residue.
Environmental issues
Environmental issues involve the proper disposal of potential hazardous wastes
generated during maintenance procedures. The following ACM 150 monitor
components are potential hazardous materials and may need infrequent
replacement:
• Lithium battery inside computer
• Gas sample filter inside pump cabinet
• End-of-line filters and check valves if installed
• Cleaning wipes and materials such as gloves
• Sample tubing and solenoid valves
Other materials in the sample stream that may have come in contact with hazardous
gases should also be considered potentially hazardous. Contact your local
environmental management agency or a hazardous waste management company for
proper recycling and/or disposal sites and procedures for these components.
