1.6 Safety

Operating the equipment in a manner not specified within this manual or under conditions outside of
the equipment specifications, may result in the protection offered by the equipment being impaired.

CO₂ gas is an asphyxiant.

Use in well ventilated areas.

Consider CO₂ alarms in confined spaces.

The release of gas could result in oxygen depletion: a risk assessment should be undertaken to deter-
mine whether oxygen depletion alarms should be installed.

Using default settings, the supplied gas is released to the room at the following rates.
Operating condition Gases released.
Normal Gas mix. 30 mL/min.
After lid closure Gas mix. 360 mL/min for 3 minutes.
After bottle change Gas mix. 360 mL/min for 9 minutes.

Additional ventilation may be required.

Equipment must be earthed. Class 1.

Ensure that the equipment and mains cords are regularly checked by a competent person, using a
Portable Appliance Tester or similar equipment, to ensure adequate earth bonding.

Ensure that the earth continuity of the mains installation is regularly inspected by a competent person.

Supply power via a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) operating at a differential of 30 mA.

Check that the rating label matches the local mains supply voltage.

Mains lead to the power supply is the main disconnect device. If power needs to be disconnected im-
mediately, disconnect the mains lead from the power supply or switch off at the mains power outlet.

Ensure that the equipment is positioned so that the mains lead can be easily disconnected.

Connected devices must comply with EN60950 or its equivalent.

Any circuit connected to the alarm output must meet the requirements for an accessible part as de-
fined in EN 61010-1 or its equivalent.

Do not connect to Ethernet local area networks (LAN) external to the building.

User servicing limited to cleaning and calibration.

To avoid risk of fire, fuses must always be replaced with the same type and rating.

Fuses should only be replaced by suitably trained service personnel.

Fuses should only be replaced after the cause of the original failure has been determined and correct-
ed as appropriate.

Samples may present other biological hazards. Refer to the person responsible for the equipment.
