<Points to note when using the semiconductor type sensor>
In particular, note the following points when using the semiconductor type sensor:
1. The product may be subject to interference from gases or vapors other than the target gas.
Take care to avoid alarm activation due to interference. The product may also experience fluctuations
due to environmental changes (e.g., in temperature or humidity) at the location where it is installed.
2. The alarm setpoint should be set within the performance range of the device.
In facilities subject to the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, settings below the standard alarm setpoints
specified by Riken Keiki may result in false alarms.
3. The product is a safety device. It is not a control device.
Use the alarm contact outputs on the product with external alarm lamps or buzzers. Use the analog
signal output for indicators or external recorders. Riken Keiki rejects liability for malfunctions in cases in
which this signal is used for any other controls.
4. The gas sensing parts in the gas detecting sensors of this product are metal-oxide porous sintered
alloys. The surface area of the gas sensing parts shrinks when silicone and sulfides attach to the
surface of the sintered bodies, and this can cause a large drop in sensitivity.
For safety reasons, avoid using this product in environments containing even trace amounts of silicone
or sulfides.
5. Regular maintenance is essential, including periodic parts replacement and readjustments as
described in this operating manual. The product is a safety device. We recommend regular
maintenance and gas calibration every six months in accordance with regulations.
