  • Page 6: Safety Regulations

    The signal of the transmitter can be used in combination with MSA control units for further actions in safety or non safety applications, e. g. MSA SUPREMA, Gasgard XL, 9010/9020.

  • Page 7: Safety And Precautionary Measures To Be Adopted

    Such paint deposits would interfere with the gas diffusion process. Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair instru- ment performance.

  • Page 8: Msa Permanent Instrument Warranty

    Safety Regulations maintenance instructions or by anyone other than an authorised MSA service personnel, could cause the product to fail to perform as designed. The device is designed for applications in hazardous areas under atmospheric conditions. For correct measurements, the combustible gas sensors require an oxygen concentration greater than 10 Vol%.
