GasAlertMax
Safety Information - Read First
3
a Cautions
To avoid possible personal injury:
⇒ Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
⇒ Do not use the detector if it is damaged. Before you use the detector, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
⇒ If the detector is damaged or something is missing, contact
BW Technologies immediately.
⇒ For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
⇒ Make sure the back is closed and fastened, and the battery is locked in place before you operate the detector.
⇒ Use only a sensor specifically designed for your GasAlertMax model. (See the section,
Replacement Parts and Accessories.)
⇒
Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to
poisons and contaminants. BW recommends at least once every 180 days* (6 months).
⇒ Do not turn off the detector during a work shift. Turning off the detector resets the TWA (time-weighted average), STEL (short-
term exposure limit), and maximum gas exposure values to 0. (See the section,
Alarms.)
⇒ It is recommended that the accuracy of the GasAlertMax be checked with known concentration calibration gas before
each day’s use and immediately after any known exposure to contaminants (e.g., after an H
2
S alarm if such a sensor is
fitted).
