OTICES
1.1 Battery Charging, Calibration & Testing
Equipment used for charging, calibration and testing of the Portable Gas Detector must be located outside a hazardous area i.e. in an
atmosphere where it is known that there is no risk of the presence of combustible gas.
1.2 Electrostatic Hazard
The blue plastic instrument case and red lens must only be cleaned in a safe area.
1.3 Battery Disposal
Rechargeable battery packs or individual cells must be disposed of via an appropriate battery recycling scheme or returned to ENMET
Corporation for safe disposal. Under no circumstances must cells be mutilated or incinerated.
1.4 Disposal of Gas Sensors
The toxic and oxygen sensors used in the PGD3-IR contain toxic compounds. They should be disposed of according to local waste
management requirements and environmental legislation. They should not be burnt since they may emit toxic fumes.
Infrared Flammable and Carbon Dioxide sensors do not represent a hazard but should be disposed of responsibly in accordance with
the appropriate local, national or international waste electrical equipment disposal regulations.
1.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility
The PGD3-IR Portable Gas Detector and associated equipment complies with the current European standards for both
electromagnetic emissions and immunity. However, this does not imply that the apparatus will be immune from interference under all
operational conditions and may exhibit temporary instability if exposed to high levels of interference for example, when in very close
proximity to a mobile phone transmission.
1.6 Limitations
The flammable infrared sensor cannot detect hydrogen because this gas is not infrared active.
However, Hydrogen can be detected up to 100% LEL by the inclusion of an appropriate electrochemical sensor.
