- READ BEFORE OPERATING -
This manual must be carefully read by
ALL
individuals who
have or will have the responsibility for using, maintaining, or
servicing this product. The product will perform as designed
only if it is used, maintained, and serviced in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
When the AreaRAE-Gamma (PGM-5120) Monitor is removed
from the transport case and turned on for the first time, there
may be residual organic or inorganic vapor trapped inside the
detector chamber. The initial PID or toxic sensor reading may
indicate a few ppm. Ensure an area free of organic or toxic
vapors and turn the monitor on. After running the monitor for
several minutes, the residual vapor in the detector chamber
should clear, and the reading should return to zero.
The battery of the AreaRAE-Gamma Monitor will slowly drain
even when it is not on. If the monitor has not been charged for
5-7 days, the battery voltage will be low. Therefore, it is good
practice to charge the monitor before each use. It is also
recommended to fully charge the monitor for AT LEAST 10
HOURS before initial use. See Section 6 for more information
on battery charging and replacement.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn the power off before
removing the monitor cover. Disconnect the battery before
removing sensor module for service. Never operate the monitor
when the cover is removed. Remove monitor cover and sensor
module only in an area known to be non-hazardous.
Pending Intrinsic Safety certification.
