Safe use of the GFM600 Velocity Monitor  

The Gas Data GFM600 Velocity Monitor has been designed to operate in typical  

field environments where flammable gases may be present. The following points  
should be observed.  

Safe practice  

• 

BEFORE entering a known hazardous zone, switch on the instrument and  

make sure the display is visible.  

 

• 

BEFORE entering a known hazardous zone, check that the keys respond.  

Important safety related points  

• 

Use only Gas Data spares and accessories.  

 

• 

Do not operate the GFM600 Velocity Monitor in ambient temperatures  

outside the range of -10 to +40C.  

 

• 

Do not attempt to dismantle the instrument. It contains no user replaceable
