IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES ABOUT PURGING 
 

WARNING: When toxic or corrosive gases are used, 
purge unit thoroughly with inert dry gas before 
disconnecting from the gas line to prevent personnel 
from being injured when coming in contact with the 
instrument.   

 

WARNING: If an instrument used with a toxic or 
corrosive gas is returned to the factory, a Material 
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be enclosed & 
attached to the outside of the box to alert Sierra 
personnel of the potential hazard. Also, make sure the 
inlet & outlet are securely sealed.
