Halogen Monitor (Bagless PAGM)

1.5 Safety Precautions

1.5.1 Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate this equipment in the presence of flammable liquids, vapors or aerosols. Operation of any electrical
equipment in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.
HAZARDOUS AREA WARNING: This instrument has not been designed to be intrinsically safe for
use in areas classified as hazardous locations. For your safety, DO NOT use it in hazardous
(classified) locations.
COMBUSTIBLE/FLAMMABLE GAS WARNING: This is NOT a safety device. Some gases which this
instrument can detect may be combustible/flammable. When properly configured, this instrument
is designed to alarm at concentrations that are lower than the explosive limit of the gas. As such, it
is the buyer's responsibility to initiate an immediate planned response to any gas leaks as soon as
they are detected. This equipment should NEVER be used to measure or sample gases at or above
their respective lower explosive limits.

1.5.2 Misuse and Modifications to Monitor

The protection provided by the monitor may be impaired if the monitor is used in a manner not specified by
these instructions. Changes or modifications to this monitor will void the warranty.
WARNING: A gas monitor is not to be used in any application that is beyond its intended purpose
or beyond the scope of its specifications. For details on appropriate use, refer to the general
description, application, and operation discussions in this manual. Before risking equipment
damage or personal injury, contact Bacharach if you are unsure of the validity of a particular gas
monitor application.
