8.3
Detector
If an error occurs during operation of the detector, use the displayed error codes to determine appropriate
next steps.
8.3.1 Routine Cleaning for Detector
Clean the exterior of the detector regularly using only a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, as many
contain silicone, which will damage the combustible sensor. Cleaning is required to ensure optimal
performance.
8.3.2 Routine Cleaning of Dust Build up on the Magnet
Use a damp cloth to periodically remove dust from the magnet.
8.4
Dust and Dirt Exposure
Use a dry, soft bristled brush to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the detector, especially at
the sensor openings. If there is a buildup of dust or dirt particles remaining in the sensor area after brushing,
use a vacuum to remove remaining particles, but maintain at least a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) distance from the gas
detector.
8.5
Chemical Exposure
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances e.g. acidic liquids or gases that
may attack metals or solvents that may affects polymeric materials, then it is the responsibility of the user
to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely affected.
8.6
Water Exposure
If water is noticed in the sensor cavity, turn the detector sensor side down and gently shake water off the
sensor area. Any remaining water can be removed with a clean dry cloth. In the event that the detector is
immersed in water, allow the sensor inlets time to dry before retesting and returning to service. Drying time
is dependent upon humidity conditions and the duration of immersion.
8.7
Routine Cleaning for Detector Accessories
Use a dry, soft bristled brush to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the SunShield, the
SensorShield, Sensor plug, and the Calibration Cap.
While detector case is open, do not touch any internal components with metallic /conductive
objects or tools.
Damage to the detector can occur
