calibrated it before its next use.
Silicon vapors or other contaminants may have an adverse effect on
catalytic sensors (slot 1) for combustible gas detection, and may distort
measurements (under-estimated measurements).
The gas monitor can be used in explosive atmospheres in Group II surface industries
and Group I mines containing firedamp.
The ambient temperature range for use is from
–20° C to + 55° C.
Depending on the type of sensors used on the device, categories covered by the gas
monitor are:
a) BM 25/25W without infrared sensors
■
Surface industries: Category 1G, use in zones 0, 1 or 2
■
Mines containing firedamp: Category M1, for use in all gas levels
b) BM 25/25W with infrared sensors
■
Surface industries: Category 2G, use in zones 1 or 2
■
Mines containing firedamp: Category M2, for use below a certain concentration of
gas
The following operations are prohibited in explosive atmospheres:
