HSS Hire Safe and Sure 34074 Operating & Safety Manual

During use, the alarm LEDs will flash and a single
tone alarm will sound if the battery power drops
to a low level. If this happens, evacuate the area of
all personnel and arrange re-charging (see
'ELECTRICAL SAFETY').
To switch the gas detector OFF press both the ON
button and the blank button (see illustration) at the
same time.

BASIC TECHNIQUES

If one of the three gasses is detected in the
atmosphere or the level of Oxygen drops, the red
alarm LEDs will flash in quick succession and the
audible alarm emits a fast warbling noise at
approximately 104dB.
The back light will come on and the word 'ALARM'
will flash on the display next to the gas in question.
If the alarm sounds, evacuate all personnel from
the contaminated area.

LINKING TWO OR MORE UNITS

The Area Multi-Gas Detector can be linked to one
or more additional units.
The advantage of this is, if one unit goes into
alarm, all the other units linked to it will also go
into alarm to give warning over a greater area.
To link the units together, ensure all the units are
fully charged (see 'ELECTRICAL SAFETY') and switched
OFF .
Unscrew the cover on one (or both if connecting
more than two units) of the interconnection sockets
and connect a link lead to it. Connect the other
end of the link lead to the interconnection socket
on the second unit.
Where more than two units are to be connected,
simply continue linking from one to the next.
You can now switch each unit ON and wait until
all have carried out their self-test sequence.
When one unit goes into an alarm situation its LEDs
will flash and the audible alarm will sound as normal.
The other units will sound an audible alarm but
their LEDs will flash at a slower rate enabling the
operator to locate the alarm area.
If the alarm sounds, evacuate all personnel from
the contaminated area.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it is unsuitable for the task you are
performing DO NOT USE OR RELY ON IT. Contact
your local HSS Safe and Sure Depot for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never expose the equipment to excessive
moisture, dust or dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
When not in use, remember to switch OFF , then
store the unit somewhere clean, dry and safe from
thieves.

FINISHING OFF

Switch the unit/s OFF and where applicable,
disconnect the link lead/s.
Finally, neatly coil the charger lead and place all
parts together ready for return, to your local HSS Safe
and Sure Depot.

Cleaning

The operator has a duty of care to ensure the
equipment is returned clean of any potentially
harmful contaminants or body fluids.
Equipment that has not been cleaned will not
be accepted back by HSS.
