must be free from contamination and contamination and must in particular be protected against the influence of chemical substances such
as silicones. Silicon and sulfur-containing media or inorganic impurities, oils, greases and liquids that evaporate can cause poisoning
phenomena on the gas sensor that may alter the sensitivity and / or selectivity of the sensor. Reduced sensitivity, unstable calibration or
false detection may be a possible consequence.
• Commissioning and operation: Connecting the device to the socket must only be done by connecting a right cable. The appliance
must only be repaired by the after-sales service. Any unauthorized intervention threatens the safety, the correct operation of the device
and restricts the rights to guarantee. The connection cable between the device and the hand-held sensor must be guided in such a way
as to avoid the risk of tripping for the operator and the rapid deterioration of the cable.
