Page: 7 / 56

Safety Information
All authorized users, including installation, operation, and maintenance personnel, must observe the following safety precautions
and warnings.
DANGER!
ELECTRIC SHOCK
The detector operates using mains voltage that is dangerous to life. Make sure that the circuit breakers are set to OFF and tagged off
before removing the top cover or opening the front cover.
Failure to observe this precaution will cause death, personal injury, and/or damage to persons and/or property.
WARNING!
OPTICAL RADIATION EXPOSURE HAZARD
The detector contains lasers. Opening the detector and attempting to perfrom adustments and procedures other than those
specified in this manual may result in hazardous optical radiation exposure.
All lasers within the detector are Class 1. The emitted laser light is invisible (mid-infrared) and the combined laser powers are
sufficiently low at the first accessible aperture that the unprotected eye will not be damaged. This class is eye safe under all
operating conditions.
It is, however, possible to cause damage to the eye through not following correct procedures. Do not look at the laser with any kind
of magnifier or optical measuring device.
WARNING!
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
The detector may contain hazardous substances. Always handle the detector assemblies and components with extreme caution.
Gas handling components within the detector will contain particulate matter from the sample gases. Over the life of the detector,
the concentration of particulate matter will become enriched within the gas handling components. When performing repairs and
maintenance on the detector:
• Handle used gas handling components with extreme caution.
• Avoid direct skin contact with used gas handling components.
• Do not smoke, drink, or eat in the work area.
• Wear goggles or eye shields.
• Wear a suitable face mask to protect against inhalation of particulate matter.
• Do not wet fingers, eyes, or any exposed skin.
• Pack used gas handling components for disposal in sealed packaging and label them Contaminated .
Dispose of contaminated items as hazardous material according to the applicable local, national, or international health and safety
regulations and pollution regulations.
WARNING!
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Always lock-out tag-out the gas handling system when shutting down the detector. Unauthorized operation of the gas handling
system when maintenance is being performed on the detector or its associated pipes/hoses may result in highly flammable gas
being released, causing fire or explosion.
