Explosion hazard! To reduce the risk of flammable or explosive atmospheres igniting,
it is essential that the warning notices below are observed:

Fractions of catalytic poisons in the measuring gas (e.g. volatile silicon, sulphur,
heavy metal compounds or halogenated hydrocarbon) can damage the Cat Ex
sensor. If the CatEx sensor can no longer be calibrated to the target concentration,
the sensor must be replaced.

In case of measurements in oxygen-deficient atmosphere (<12 vol. % O
CatEx sensor may show incorrect displays; in this case, a reliable measurement
with a CatEx sensor is not possible.

In an oxygen enriched atmosphere (>21 vol. % O
cannot be guaranteed; remove instrument from the Ex area.

High values outside the display area indicate an explosive concentration where
applicable.
