- 13 - SD-1GH
CAUTION
This is a precision device. Because the detector may not perform appropriately in some
environments, check the installation environment and take appropriate actions, if necessary.
Install as many detectors as necessary to properly monitor an environment.
Because points where gases leak and collect vary depending on the types of gases and the working
areas, carefully choose installation points and the number of units to be installed.

How to Use
4-1. Before Using the Detector
All users must follow the operating precautions. Ignoring the precautions may damage the detector,
resulting in inaccurate gas detection.
4-2. Precautions for Installation Points
Do not install the detector in a place with vibrations or shocks.
The detector has sensitive electronic parts. The detector must be installed in a stable place without
vibrations or shocks.
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to water, oil, or chemicals.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where the detector is exposed to water, oil, or chemicals.
Do not install the detector in a place where the operating temperature range is exceeded.
The detector must be installed in a stable place where the operating temperature is maintained and does
not change suddenly.
<ATEX/IECEx Specifications> -20 to +60ºC
<TIIS Specifications> -20 to +53ºC
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to direct sunlight or sudden changes in the temperature.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or radiant heat
(infrared rays emitted from a high-temperature object) and where the temperature changes suddenly.
Condensation may form inside the detector or the detector cannot adjust to sudden changes in the
temperature.
Keep the detector (and its cables) away from noise sources.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where high-frequency/high-voltage devices exist.
