IEC 60079-0:2011, IEC 60079-11:2011 Operating Temperature and Humidity Limits The PHD6’s operating temperature range is -20 °C to +50 °C. Use of Honeywell Gas Detectors outside of the instrument’s specified operating temperature range may result in inaccurate and potentially dangerous readings.
Do not charge the PHD6 with any charger other than the appropriate PHD6 charger. Standard versions of the PHD6 must be charged with the UL/CSA-approved charger, which is part number 54- 49-103-1. European versions of the PHD6 must be charged with the ATEX-approved charger, which is part number 54-49-103-5.
Ne pas quitter immédiatement la zone peut entraîner une blessure grave ou mortelle. Le PHD6 doit être situé dans une zone non dangereuse à chaque fois que les piles alcalines sont retirées du bloc-piles.
