GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING
This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity
low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the bottom of the
analyser. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations by
trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the
potential hazards.
Portable gas detector users should conduct "bump" test before relying
on the unit to verify an atmosphere is free from hazard.
A "bump" test is a way to test an instrument works within acceptable
limits by briefly exposing to a known gas mixture that change the output
of all the sensors present.
Note: This is different from a calibration where your analyser is also
exposed to a known gas mixture but is allowed to settle to a steady
figure and the reading adjusted to the stated gas concentration of the
test gas.
Protection Against Electric Shock (In accordance with EN 61010-1: 2010):
This analyser is designed as Class III equipment and should only be
connected to SELV circuits. The battery charger is designated as:
● Class II equipment
● Installation category II
● Pollution degree 2
● Indoor use only
● Altitude to 2000m
● Ambient temperature 0°C-40°C
● Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C
decreasing linearly to 50%RH at 40°C
● Mains supply fluctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage
WARNING
Your analyser's protective cover is fitted with strong magnets – magnetic
fields can cause damage to magnetic storage media. Certain electronic
devices are sensitive to magnetic fields and may be damaged
permanently if exposed to a strong magnetic field.
