To avoid possible personal injury:
⇒ 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 (see p. 2).
⇒ Make sure the battery is locked in place before you operate the detector.
⇒ Use only a sensor specifically designed for your detector. (See the section, "Replacement Parts and
Accessories.")
⇒ Periodically test the sensor’s response to gas by exposing the detector to a targeted gas concentration that
exceeds the High Alarm setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
⇒ Prior to each day’s usage sensitivity must be tested on a known concentration of the target combustible gas
(methane, etc.) equivalent to 25-50% of full-scale concentration (accuracy must be within 0 to +20% of actual).
Accuracy may be corrected by recalibrating the instrument.
⇒ Calibrate the detector before first-time use, and then at least once every 90 days.
⇒ Do not turn off the detector during a work shift. Turning off the detector resets the LTEL (Long Term
Exposure Limit), STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) and maximum gas exposure values to 0. (See the section,
“Alarms.”)
⇒ It is recommended that the accuracy of the detector be checked with known concentration calibration gas
before each day’s use and immediately after any known exposure to contaminants.
