Page 3: Recommendations
EXPLOSIVE VAPOR DETECTOR 3. RECOMMENDATIONS The portable Explosive Vapor Detector (EVD) «PILOT -M1» is intended for detection of ® charges of explosives in non-tight volumes and traces of explosives on a surface of surveyed objects. Detection is carried out by sampling air from internal volumes of surveyed objects or from their surfaces and the analysis of tests on contents of characteristic components of explosive vapor. - Page 4 Main Unit is not recommended. SPECIAL WARNING! «Pilot -M1» EVD is a high sensitive device. ® • don’t store the Detector in ammunition, explosives and weapon rooms;...
