SAFETY WARNING
This analyser can be used to extract combustion gases that may be toxic
in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the
back of the instrument.
This analyser must only be used in well-
ventilated locations by trained and competent persons after due
consideration of all the potential hazards.
It is recommended that the analyser is switched on in outside fresh
air so that the levels of CO when entering a premise can be
measured and any potential danger can be spotted.
Users of port
able gas detectors are recommended to conduct a “bump”
check before relying on the unit to verify an atmosphere is free from
hazard.
A “bump” test is a means of verifying that an instrument is working within
acceptable limits by briefly exposing to a known gas mixture formulated
to change the output of all the sensors present. (This is different from a
calibration where the instrument is also exposed to a known gas mixture
but is allowed to settle to a steady figure and the reading adjusted to the
stated gas concentration of the test gas).
