6.MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION 

 
Gas detection and alarm instrument is kept in continuous operation over a long time and must      perform a 
vital role as a safety device.    For this purpose, periodical inspection must be made.    The High-pressure 
Gas Safety Act in Japan sets forth the obligation of periodical inspection of the gas detection and alarm 
instrument.   

 

- Maintenance Contract – 

Be sure to perform the regular maintenance inspection since this is an instrument for security and 
safety.    If this detector head founds defective, contact our nearest agent or RIKEN KEIKI soon.   

   

6-1.Inspection frequency and items 

 
The  inspection  includes  a  daily  inspection  which  a  person  in  charge  of  control  and  operation  of  the  gas 
detection instrument performs inspection before work once a day, and a monthly inspection carried out once 
a month, and periodical inspections conducted by the service personnel designated by manufacturer. The 
inspection items are confirmation of lights, concentration indication and alarm function on the indicator/alarm 
unit side. It is also necessary to carry out gas calibration at least every 6 months. The law in Japan sets forth 
that  the  unit  must  issue  an  alarm  during  the  circuit  inspection  related  to  alarm  while  providing  normal 
operation, at least, once a month. 
To maintain the safety operation of the gas detection instrument, it is recommended to keep the maintenance 
contract with our authorized distributor for regular maintenance, adjustment and overhaul etc including the 
gas sensitivity adjustment (gas calibration).   
For the detail of maintenance contract, contact our nearest agent or RIKEN KEIKI.   
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

             
 

・  This is a safety instrument and the inspection every 6 months or more is mandatory to ensure the 

safety.    If the unit is used by continuously without inspection, the sensor sensitivity may change, 
resulting in failure of correct detection. 

WARNING 

             
 

・  Be sure to inform sections concerned beforehand when performing alarm test or gas calibration.   

For the equipment connected with output signal from indicator/alarm unit, perform them after 
disconnecting the output signal. 

・Special trained engineer for gas detection instrument can perform maintenance work and inspection 

accurately and efficiently. Then, it is recommended to contact our authorized agent for maintenance 
and inspection.
