To avoid possible damage to the detector:
⇒
Extended exposure of the GasAlertMax to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress a
detector element, which can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of
combustible gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed the sensor replaced.
⇒
Exposure to some substances (e.g. silicones, phosphates, lead or sulfur containing compounds) can cause LEL
sensor sensitivity loss.
⇒
Do not test the combustible sensors response with a butane cigarette lighter.
⇒
Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe continuous mechanical shock.
⇒
Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions for that procedure are
contained in the manual and/or that part is listed as a replacement part. Use only BW Technologies
replacement parts.
⇒
Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
⇒
The detector warranty will be voided if customer personnel or third parties damage the detector during repair
attempts. Non-BW Technologies repair/service attempts void this warranty.
