TAKING A READING
To prevent fire and explosion:
•
Do not charge or open in a hazardous or potentially explosive area.
•
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights or cigarettes.
To prevent inhalation of harmful gases:
•
Read Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) to know the specific hazards of the gases you are using.
•
Ensure that users are adequately trained in the safety aspects of the gases being used and appropriate
procedures are followed.
•
Store hazardous gases in approved containers, and dispose of empty cylinders according to applicable
guidelines.
•
Ensure hazardous gases are exhausted from the instrument to an area where it is safe to discharge the
gas.
•
Hazardous gases may be exhausted from the instrument when purging with clean air. Ensure gases are
exhausted to an area where it is safe to do so.
Flow Chart 2 depicts the process for taking a reading on the i-Q.
Note: IDs are added to the instrument using GAMSoft or created on the instrument providing a site is already
present, see
Creating IDs in the field .
Note: Once a reading is stored against an ID, the ID will have a strikethrough in the ID list to indicate to the user
that this ID has been taken.
Note: Use of Affinity is optional but results in manual temperature entry if not used. To pair Affinity, see Affinity
Pairing .
Note: If Affinity is used once, it is assumed it is used for all readings unless defined by GAMSoft or disconnected.
Note: Site Questions and ID questions are optional and set in GAMSoft.
Note: System Pressure is set in GAMSoft and is optional for an ID.
Note: Special Actions can be accessed at any time by pressing any right-side Hotkey, or pressing the touchscreen
along the right edge of the display. The Special Actions available will be dependent on where in the process you
are.
