MicroFID Software Manual
Adequate ventilation must be provided when MicroFID is being
calibrated.
If compound threshold limit values (TLV™) are exceeded, you
should use a gas bag for sampling and calibration.
To determine the TLV of the compounds contained in the
calibration gas, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
supplied with your calibration gas cylinder. See Calibration on page
65 for details of calibration using a gas bag.
Battery Pack Care
Do not leave battery packs uncharged for an extended period of
time. This will result in damage to the battery packs and possible
loss of logged data.
Leaving MicroFID for more than 3 months, without turning it on,
may result in the loss of recorded data and setup parameters. If
MicroFID is not used for long periods of time, turn the instrument
on for a few hours every month to avoid loss of data. See Battery
Charging on page 28 for instructions on charging the battery.
Please observe the following:
1. For replacement battery pack use only Part No. MX396005 or
MX396006.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
3. The battery pack is 57% lead (Pb) by weight. This battery pack
must be disposed of properly. Check with local codes for
special disposal instructions.
4. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
5. Exercise care in handling battery packs in order not to short
the terminals with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets
