Warnings and
Cautions – Sensor
Use and Care
Ensure you follow the applicable warnings and cautions indicated here.
Warning: Extended exposure of the detector to high concentrations of toxic or
combustible gases may result in degraded sensor performance. If an alarm occurs due
to high concentration of combustible gases, exit to a safe area, then recalibrate the
device or, if needed, replace the sensor.
Warning: The combustible sensor requires 10% oxygen in the atmosphere to operate.
If you are unaware of the oxygen concentration or if the oxygen concentration is
below 10% do not use the device to monitor for combustible gas concentrations.
Failure to do so may result in injury and death.
Caution: Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or polishes containing silicon
compounds to clean the detector as these can cause damage to the sensor.
Caution: Be aware of poisoned combustible sensors. The operation of catalytic type
combustible gas sensors may be seriously affected by silicones, free halogens,
halogenated hydrocarbons and metallic oxides present in the ambient air being
monitored. If the presence of any of these substances is suspected, increased frequency
of calibration verification is recommended.
Caution: Sensitivity of the combustible gas sensor can be adversely affected by
exposure to sulfur compounds, halogens, silicone or lead containing compounds, or
phosphorus containing compounds. Avoid exposure to these substances. Should the
detector be suspected of being exposed to such substances, perform a gas test to verify
its accuracy and that it is calibrated accordingly.
