Sample area connections
NOTE
The buyer is responsible for deciding which areas and gases to monitor and
the exact location of the sampling points in gas cabinets, storage rooms,
valve boxes, exhaust ducts, exhaust hoods, breathing zones, etc. Honeywell
Analytics does not determine and cannot advise the exact point to sample
for hazardous gases. The buyer, the equipment manufacturer or a third party
consultant must make such decisions.

Points and gases monitored
The ACM 150 monitor is designed for and intended to detect occasional leaks
of hazardous gases at levels that are within its range of detection. The following
conditions may harm the ACM 150 monitor and may violate the warranty terms:
• Continuous presence of oxidizing or corrosive gases at one or more sample point
at levels exceeding 10 PPM, particularly if the air is humid.
• High PPM level leaks that saturate the ACM 150 monitor with oxidizing or
corrosive vapors.
• Liquids (water, solvents or oil) present in the sampled air that enter the ACM 150
monitor via the sample tubing.
• Flammable gases above explosive levels that might increase the risk of fire inside
the ACM 150 monitor.
The ACM 150 monitor is not suited for monitoring samples that contain high levels of
corrosive and/ or condensable gases, such as the exhaust from treatment systems.
