−
Do NOT go in close contact with or breathe any gas stream whose composition is different
from that of ambient air.
−
Prevent throttling and kinking of tubing.
−
Check tubing time to time for possible material usage.
−
Check that all tubing ends are well inserted into the connectors so they cannot slip off.
−
This device is not designed for use for medical applications.
−
Install safety valves and adequate pressure regulators on gas lines before CO2 Controller
input connectors.
−
Power cord of unit should be unplugged from electrical outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.
−
PRESSURIZED GAS. Secure all connections with hose clamps. Never exceed the input
pressure limit of 2.5 barg (36.3 psig). Bleed all lines before disconnecting. Wear safety
goggles if needed. If pressure regulators are not within sight and reach, make sure at least
one shut off valve is within reach.
−
LOW OXYGEN ATMOSPHERES. Never enter a room or enclosure which has a low oxygen
atmosphere because of severe danger of suffocation. Only operate in well-ventilated room.
A small amount for carbon dioxide gas leaks continuously out of the instrument and should
never be allowed to build up in the room.
−
VENTILATION. Unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere
with proper ventilation. Neither the gas controller nor stream destinations should be in
poorly ventilated areas.
−
Unit should be situated away from heat sources such as open flames, radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other appliances or processes that produce heat.
