THE SOLE PROPERTY OF OPTOSENSE LLC. ANY REPRODUCTION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF OPTOSENSE LLC IS PROHIBITED.
5. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Do not use damaged sensor. It must be repaired only by personnel authorized by
manufacturer.

Keep sensor out of contact with aggressive substances e.g. acidic environments, which
can react with metals, as well as solvents, which may affect polymeric materials.

Diffusion holes of sensor should be protected against ingress of dust and sprayed
materials.

Sensor is not intended to measure hydrocarbons contained in fluids.

It is not allowed to use brazing furnace, infrared or convection ovens for soldering
sensor contacts to end-user equipment. Soldering conditions stated in 6.2 must not be
violated. Spot soldering only.

Maximum pressure on sensor top surface must not exceed 1 MPa.

It is not allowed to apply pressure on sensor side surface.

Sensor updates information about concentration every 1.32
± 0.04 seconds. Sending
any command more often than one time per 2 second (0.5 Hz) may reduce sensor
accuracy and increase its current consumption.

Correct measurement is provided when ambient temperature changes not faster than
0.6 °C/min.

Sensor may accumulate an electrostatic charge on its housing. Thus, there is risk of
electrostatic discharge. Clean only using a damp cloth. Note this during installation and
use of sensor in the end-user equipment.

Covering diffusion holes of sensor increases its response time (T90).

When operating sensor, observe conditions stated in Table 2 and Table 4.

Inspection and maintenance should be carried out by suitably trained personnel in
accordance with the applicable code of practice (e.g. EN 60079-17).

Persons, who have studied this UM, must be briefed on safety precautions when
operating electrical equipment intended for use in explosive areas in due course.

When dealing with cylinder containing gas mixture under pressure, it is necessary to
follow the safety regulations. Dumping of CGM into the work area is not allowed.

There is no risk of pollution and negative impact on human health. Sensor does not
contain any harmful substances that may be released during its normal operation.

It is strictly prohibited to remove label from sensor or to damage marking information in
any way.
