CAUTION:
DO NOT STOCKPILE CELLS. THE WARRANTY
PERIOD STARTS ON THE DAY OF SHIPMENT.
The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not
subject to large variations in ambient temperature (75°F nominal, 24°C)
or to rough handling.
WARNING:
The sensor used in the model 3020T Trace Oxygen
Analyzer uses electrolytes which contain toxic
substances, mainly Lead and potassium hydroxide,
that can be harmful if touched, swallowed, or
Inhaled. Avoid contact with any fluid or powder in or
around the unit. What may appear to be plain water
could contain one of these toxic substances. In case
of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water for
at least 15 minutes. Call physician. (See appendix,
Material Safety Data Sheet.)
CAUTION:
DO NOT DISTURB THE INTEGRITY OF THE CELL
PACKAGE UNTIL THE CELL IS TO ACTUALLY BE
USED. IF THE CELL PACKAGE IS PUNCTURED AND
AIR IS PERMITTED TO ENTER, THE CELL WILL
REQUIRE AN EXCESSIVELY LONG TIME TO REACH
ZERO AFTER INSTALLATION (1-2 WEEKS!).
5.3.2 When to Replace a Cell
The characteristics of the Micro-Fuel Cell show an almost constant
output throughout its useful life and then fall off sharply towards zero at
the end. Cell failure in the 3020T is usually characterized inability to
zero the instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading. When this
occurs, the 3020T system alarm trips, and the LCD displays a failure
message.
