Warning - MSA Orion Operation Manual

Chapter 3, Using the Orion Multigas Detector
• Alarm lights flash.
• To silence the Battery Warning, push the CHANGE/RESET
button.
• Once the battery warning has been silenced, the alarm will
re-activate in approximately five minutes.
• The Orion Multigas Detector continues to operate until the
instrument is turned OFF or battery shutdown occurs.
Battery Shutdown
When the batteries can no longer operate the instrument, the
instrument goes into Battery Shutdown mode:
• Battery Indicator remains ON
• Alarm sounds continuously
• Alarm lights flash
• No other pages can be viewed
• After approximately five minutes, the instrument automatically
turns OFF.
When Battery Shutdown condition sounds, stop using the
instrument; it can no longer alert you of potential hazards
since it does not have enough power to operate properly.
You must:
1. Leave the area immediately.
2. Turn OFF the instrument if it is ON.
3. Report to the person responsible for maintenance.
4. Replace or recharge the battery pack.
Failure to follow this procedure, could result in serious
personal injury or death.
For Alkaline Battery packs, replace batteries when the
"Battery Low" or "Battery Shutdown" alarms occur. When
replacing alkaline batteries, replace ALL batteries with fresh
ones at the same time. Do not mix new and
partially-discharged batteries. If the batteries are improperly
replaced or improperly mixed, the "Battery Low" and "Battery
Shutdown" alarms may fail to function, which could result
in serious personal injury or death.
