Safety
Please read this manual in full before using the GasCheck Tesla instrument. Ion Science Ltd takes no
responsibility for damage, injury or death resulting from misuse, misunderstanding or negligence while
using this gas detector. Please contact Ion Science Limited via the address below for clarification on
any aspect of this manual that is not understood or for additional information required.
This instrument should only be used by qualified or competent persons with suitable knowledge of the
hazards relating to the gases contained within equipment or in the local environment.
Quality Assurance
GasCheck Tesla instruments are manufactured in compliance with ISO9001:2008, which ensures that
the equipment supplied to the customer has been designed and assembled reproducibly from
traceable components, leaving Ion Science calibrated to traceable standards.
Responsibility of use
Many gases are hazardous and can cause explosion, poisoning and corrosion resulting in damage to
property and life. It is the responsibility of the person using this instrument to ensure it is being used in
accordance with this manual and that the instrument is functioning correctly before use.
The GasCheck Tesla can detect a large range of gases but some gases are more difficult to detect.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the GasCheck Tesla instrument has the sensitivity to detect
the required gas before reaching potentially dangerous levels.
Inadequate performance of the gas detection equipment described in this manual may not necessarily be
self-evident and consequently equipment must be regularly inspected and maintained. Ion Science
recommends that personnel responsible for equipment use institute a regime of regular checks to ensure it
performs within calibration limits, and that a record be maintained which logs calibration check data. The
equipment should be used in accordance with this manual, and in compliance with local safety standards.
Disposal
Disposal of GasCheck Telsa, its components and any used batteries shall be in accordance with local
and national safety and environmental requirements. This includes the European WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive. Ion Science Ltd offers a 'take-back' service. Please
contact Ion Science Ltd for more information.
Calibration Facility
Ion Science Ltd offers a calibration service including the issue of certification conforming calibration
with equipment calibrated at UKAS accredited laboratories and using gas traceable to NPL standards.
A GasCheck Tesla Calibration Kit offers a means of checking and calibrating the instruments against a
known reference, however Ion Science Ltd strongly recommend the instrument is returned to an
approved service centre on an annual basis for general maintenance and calibration.
