Statements
Responsibility for Use
TIGER instruments detect a large range of gases which are potentially dangerous from both a poisoning
and/or an explosive perspective. TIGER instruments have many adjustable and selectable features allowing
the detector to be used in a variety of ways. Ion Science Ltd can accept no responsibility for the incorrect
adjustment of features that cause harm or damage to persons or property. TIGER can be used as a
personal safety device. It is the user’s responsibility to respond appropriately to an alarm situation.
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 Ltd
recommends that personnel responsible for equipment use 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.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the TIGER is always used with a supplied 0.5 micron PTFE Filter Disc fitted to the front of
the instrument. Without a filter, particles of debris and dust can be drawn into the detector inhibiting the
function of the instrument. These filters are consumable and should be changed after every 100 hours of
use. The frequency of replacement should be increased for dusty or moisture laden environments. Filters
are available from your distributor or at
www.ionscience.com .
Quality Assurance
TIGER has been manufactured in compliance with ISO9001:2008, which ensures that the equipment
supplied to our customers has been designed and assembled reproducibly, from traceable components, and
leaves Ion Science Ltd calibrated to stated standards.
Disposal
Dispose of TIGER, its components and any used batteries in accordance with all 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 us for more information.
The TIGER field case material is recyclable polypropylene.
Calibration Facility
Ion Science Ltd offers a calibration service including the issue of certification confirming calibration with
equipment traceable to national standards. A TIGER calibration kit is available from your distributor or
service centre or at www.ionscience.com. Ion Science Ltd recommends annual return of all instruments for
yearly service and calibration.
