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 calibrating at least once every 180 days
(6 months).
The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50%
LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible
gas in the %LEL range, calibrate the sensor using
the appropriate gas.
Only the combustible gas detection portion of this
instrument has been assessed for performance by
CSA International.
Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous
gas and in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
It is recommended that the combustible sensor be
checked with a known concentration of calibration
gas after any exposure to contaminants/poisons such
as, sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated
compounds, etc.
BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each
day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to
gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration
that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that
the audible and visual alarms are activated. Calibrate
if the readings are not within the specified limits.
Caution: High off-scale readings may indicate an
explosive concentration.
Any rapid up scaling reading followed by a declining
or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration
beyond the upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
Extended exposure of the GasAlertMicroClip XT to
certain concentrations of combustible gases and
air may stress a detector element that can seriously
affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to a
high concentration of combustible gases, calibrate
the detector. If necessary, replace the sensor.
Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead
compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Sensor exposure to certain organic vapors (such as
leaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) may
temporarily inhibit sensor performance. After exposure,
a bump test or calibration is recommended.
For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres
where oxygen concentrations do not exceed
20.9% (v/v).
