    GasAlertMicro 5 and GasAlertMicro 5 PID User Manual Safety Information - Read First Use the detector only as specified in this manual, otherwise the protection provided by the detector may be impaired. International symbols used on the detector and in this manual are explained in Table 2.
  • Page 9 BW recommends at least once every 180 days (6 months). ⇒ BW recommends to “bump test” the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their ability and response to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the high alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
  • Page 10 ⇒ Protect the PID sensor from exposure to silicone vapors. ⇒ The optional BW pump module (M5-PUMP) is certified for use with the GasAlertMicro 5 and the GasAlertMicro 5 PID only. ⇒ Read and adhere to all instructions and precautions in the literature provided with the charger. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, and/or property damage.
