Warnings, Limitations
WARNING: NEVER attempt to calibrate a chlorine gas sensor with bleach, pool chlorinating
chemicals, or by producing chlorine gas with a mixture of bleach and an acid. Any sensor
adjustment made with such gases or fumes, or without the proper known concentration of gas
will cause the sensor to not alarm at all or to alarm at incorrect and unsafe levels. This can
create a life threatening situation in which the detector may not alarm during a chlorine gas
leak.
Warning
If the alarm buzzer sounds a loud pulsating sound and you are not testing the gas detector, it has
sensed a gas leak. The alarm buzzer is warning of a possibly serious situation and it requires your
immediate attention.
Warning
All functions of this gas detector must be checked and verified on a regular basis.
The ability for the gas sensor to sense toxic gas or low oxygen levels must be verified on a regular
basis. It is recommended that the gas sensor be tested by means of a
certified gas standard at least
once every six months.
Warning
If the FX-Mini is altered in any way the warranty will be voided.
Example; drilling additional holes in the enclosure to mount conduits, changing operating range of the
gas sensor and altering the gas alarm trip points.
Warning
Never disconnect an electrically powered gas detector to stop nuisance alarms. The source of
the problem must be corrected.
FX-Mini Gas Detectors are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, the FX-Mini Gas Detectors
have limitations. Detectors cannot be expected to sense a dangerous toxic gas leak or low oxygen
levels if the cavity is blocked by debris or the detector is tampered with by personnel.
The FX-Mini has a limited life. This equipment contains many parts. Just as with any other device any
one of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test your detector on a regular basis. Be
sure to have it repaired or replaced when it fails to test properly. In no case should the detector be used
for more than 10 years. All functions of this detector must be checked and verified on a regular basis.
