Safety
Please read this manual in full before using the 8067 instrument. Matheson Tri-Gas takes no
responsibility for damage, injury or death resulting from misuse, misunderstanding or negligence while
using this gas detector. Please contact Matheson Tri-Gas via the address below for clarification on
any aspect of this manual that is not understood or for additional information required.
This instrument should only be used by qualified or competent persons with suitable knowledge of the
hazards relating to the gases contained within equipment or in the local environment.
Quality Assurance
8067 instruments are manufactured in compliance with ISO9001, which ensures that the equipment
supplied to the customer has been designed and assembled reproducibly from traceable components,
calibrated to traceable standards.
Responsibility of use
Many gases are hazardous and can cause explosion, poisoning and corrosion resulting in damage to
property and life. It is the responsibility of the person using this instrument to ensure it is being used in
accordance with this manual and that the instrument is functioning correctly before use.
The 8067 can detect a large range of gases but some gases are more difficult to detect.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the 8067 instrument has the sensitivity to detect the
required gas before reaching potentially dangerous levels.
Inadequate performance of the gas detection equipment described in this manual may not necessarily be
self-evident and consequently equipment must be regularly inspected and maintained. Matheson Tri-gas
recommends that personnel responsible for equipment use institute a regime of regular checks to ensure it
performs within calibration limits and that a record be maintained which logs calibration check data. The
equipment should be used in accordance with this manual, and in compliance with local safety standards.
Disposal
Disposal of the 8067, its components, and any used batteries shall be in accordance with local and
national safety and environmental requirements. This includes the European WEEE (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment) directive.
Calibration Facility
Matheson Tri-Gas offers a calibration service including the issue of certification confirming calibration
to NIST standards.
An 8067 Calibration Kit offers a means of checking and calibrating the instruments against a known
reference, however MATHESON strongly recommend the instrument is returned to an approved
service center on an annual basis for general maintenance and calibration.
