WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRACTICES
Please read this section before operating the DataFID.
Throughout this manual notes are provided to inform you of the limitations of usage for the DataFID.
This manual provides operational information for the DataFID. The DataFID is intrinsically safe and
approved for use in hazardous locations. Refer to the Notices and Warnings section of this manual for
details of each approval.
Intended Use
WARNING
The DataFID only measures the concentration of airborne gases and
vapors that can be ionized by a flame ionization detector.
The DataFID automatically displays and can record the concentration
values.
The reading displayed represents the total concentration of all flame
ionizable chemicals present in the sample. The DataFID can display
concentration values in ppm and ppb.
Excessive Heat and Cold
WARNING
Do not expose the instrument to intense sunlight for prolonged periods.
Exposure to excessive heat may result in erroneous readings.
At low temperatures, water vapor, a by-product of the hydrogen flame, may
condense at the exhaust port. At sub-zero temperatures the water vapor
will freeze and obstruct the exhaust port. If the exhaust port becomes
obstructed, pump operation will be inhibited. Flame out may also result.
