7.1 Positioning the appliance
The person carrying the appliance can:
•
either go about his or her work, leaving the MX 2100 to monitor the atmosphere (MX 2100 used as beacon),
•
or take measurements at various locations with a sampling system (MX 2100 on shoulder strap).
In order to be able to carry out the measurements correctly, the MX 2100 cells must always be
unobstructed. If this is not the case, gas contents could be underestimated and this could be fatal to
the user.
7.2 MX 2100 as beacon
The MX 2100 must be placed in the vertical position.
According to the type of gas to be detected or liable to be present, the appliance should be placed:
•
on the ground in order to detect heavy gases (H2S),
•
at mid-height (about one meter above the ground) or at the outlet of a ventilation port for general detection of
a maximum gas level or monitoring of oxygen,
•
in a high position for the detection of light gases (hydrogen).
7.3 MX 2100 on shoulder strap
The MX 2100 can be used fitted with a clip, a belt clip, a harness, a case or a bag.
These accessories avoid the cells being placed against clothing, so that the gas exchange openings are unobstructed.
