Safety and Precautionary Measures to be adopted
WARNING
The following safety instructions must be observed implicitly. Only in this way can the
safety and health of the individual operators, and the correct functioning of the
instrument, be guaranteed.
•
The device described in this manual must be installed, operated and maintained in strict
accordance with their labels, cautions, instructions, and within the limitations stated.
•
The device is designed to detect volatile organic compounds or vapours in air.
•
Do not mount the device in direct sunlight as this could cause overheating of the sensor.
•
The device must be installed vertical with the filter port unit downward to avoid plugging of the gas
inlets by particles or liquids.
•
The only absolute method to ensure proper overall operation of the device is to check it with a
known concentration of the gas for which it has been calibrated. Consequently, calibration checks
must be included as part of the routine inspection of the system.
•
As with all devices of these types, high levels of, or long exposure to, certain compounds in the
tested atmosphere could contaminate the sensor. In atmospheres where the device may be
exposed to such materials, calibration must be performed frequently to ensure that the operation
is dependable and display indications are accurate.
•
Use only genuine manufacturer replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures
provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair instrument performance. Repair or
alteration of the device, beyond the scope of these maintenance instructions or by anyone other
than an authorised manufacturer service personnel, could cause the product to fail to perform as
designed.
•
The device is designed for applications in hazardous areas under atmospheric conditions.
•
Significant dust deposits on the gas inlets will increase the response time of the device. Checks for
dust deposits must be done at regular intervals.
