Page 7: Warnings And Cautionary Statements
The MX6 multi-gas monitor complies with relevant provisions of European ATEX directive 2006/95/EC and 94/9/EC 94/9/EC and EMC directive 2004/108/EC. The EC type examination certificate is DEMKO 07 ATEX 0626395X; for equipment group and category II 1G; with marking code Ex ia IIC T4 Ga for an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 40°C, with the alkaline battery pack P/N 17131046-3 or -20°C to 55°C with the li-ion battery pack, P/Ns 17131038-1, and 17131038-2. - Page 8 recommended. Oxygen-deficient atmospheres may cause combustible gas readings to be lower than actual concentrations. Oxygen-enriched atmospheres may cause combustible gas readings to be higher than actual concentrations. Verify the calibration of the combustible gas sensor after any incident where the combustible gas content has caused the instrument to display an over-range condition.
- Page 9 CAUTION: For compliance determinations required by 30 CFR 75, Subpart D, the monitor must display "CH4" and “%VOL” during the monitor's start-up sequence. CAUTION: The Model MX6 iBrid Multi-Gas Monitor must be configured to include a catalytic sensor, Model 4L-LEL, P/N 1710-5081, (CH4, 0-5% v/v).
