With detector tubes
Ensure that there are no fragments of glass in the tube test port gland prior to fitting detector
tubes, clean if required.
Always remove the ends of the detector tubes cleanly using the correct tube tip cutter. Do not
use pincers or other devices.
Always remove both ends of the detector tubes prior to fitting.
Always fit detector tube with the arrows facing outwards.
Never break the glass ampoule in the oil tube before the test.
Only use the detector tubes that the Tester is calibrated for.
Once used, be aware that the tube tip cutter contains ground glass and glass fragments. Take
appropriate precautions for the disposal of these. Dispose of as sharps.
When using the tube tip cutter ensure only a light pressure is applied to the tube whilst rotating
for scoring.
