Operating Temperature and Humidity Limits

The Biosystems PHD6's operating temperature range is printed on the
label on the back of the instrument. Use of Sperian Gas Detectors outside of the
instrument's specified operating temperature range may result in inaccurate and potentially
dangerous readings.

Signal Words

The following signal words, as defined by ANSI Z535.4-1998, are used in the PHD6
Reference Manual.
indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may
result in moderate or minor injury.
CAUTION
used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Warnings and Cautions

1.
the detection of dangerous atmospheric conditions. An alarm condition indicates the
presence of a potentially life-threatening hazard and should be taken very seriously.
Failure to immediately leave the area may result in serious injury or death.
2.
established procedures. The safest course of action is to immediately leave the affected
area, and to return only after further testing determines that the area is once again safe
for entry. Failure to immediately leave the area may result in serious injury or death.
3.
alkaline batteries are removed from the alkaline battery pack. Removal of the alkaline
batteries from the battery pack in a hazardous area may impair intrinsic safety.
4.
E91-LR6, Eveready EN91 batteries in the alkaline battery pack. Substitution of batteries
may impair intrinsic safety.
5.
with new batteries and do not mix batteries from different manufacturers.
6.
appropriate Sperian PHD6 charger. Standard versions of the PHD6 must be charged
