Danger Statements

DANGER: The RKI Instruments Inc. AirLink 6940XP is an ambient air Hazardous gas sensor
assembly and only monitors in the immediate vicinity of the sensor housing. A site survey is
required in order to determine the best placement and quantity of sensor assemblies. Improper
installation can lead to an undetectable gas leak which could result in personal injury or loss of
life.
