USER HANDBOOK
SAFETY
• The instrument must be regularly serviced and calibrated by fully trained
personnel in a safe area thus user adjustment is not required.
• Replacement or charging of the equipment is only permitted in a non-
hazardous area.
• Only GMI replacement parts should be used.
• Instrument must be re-charged in a safe area before use. Refer to
Chapter 6 : ‘RECHARGE BATTERY’.
• If the instrument detects gas, follow your own organisation’s procedures
and operational guidelines.
• Gas can be dangerous and care should always be taken in its use.
• This equipment is designed and manufactured to protect against other
hazards as defined in ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.
Any right of claim relating to product liability or consequential damage to any
third party against GMI is removed if the above warnings are not observed.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY DETAILS - CSA ONLY
CAUTION: Before each days Usage, test on a known concentration of methane,
equivalent to 25 - 50% of full scale concentration. Accuracy must be within
0 to +20% of actual. Accuracy may be corrected by calibration. (Refer to
Chapter 7 : ‘CALIBRATION’).
ATTENTION: Avant chaque utilisation journalière, testez la réaction de l’appareil
en utilisant une concentration connue en méthane, correspondant à 25-50%
de la lecture à fond d’échelle. La précision doit se situer entre 0 et +20% de la
valeur réelle. La précision peut se corriger en étalonnant l’appareil (voir Chapitre
7 : CALIBRATION).
CAUTION: Any rapid up-scale readings followed by a declining or erratic reading
may indicate a gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit, which may be
hazardous.
ATTENTION: Toute lecture dépassant rapidement le maximum de l’échelle et
suivie par une diminution ou une lecture erronée, indique une concentration
de gaz supérieure à la valeur maximale de cette échelle. Cette lecture n’est
pas significative.
NOTE: CSA have only assessed the LEL combustible gas detection portion of
this instrument for performance.
NOTE : CSA a seulement évalué la partie LIE pour la mesure des performances
en détection de gaz inflammables.
NOTE: The instrument contains internal checking of sensor sensitivity, which
during calibration will prevent the sensor being calibrated if it has been
contaminated or reached its end of life. In addition to this the Instrument
Management System (IMS) can be used to track the condition of sensors from
stored calibration results.
