⚠ WARNING
•฀฀฀Clip฀SGD฀is฀a฀hazardous฀area฀certied฀gas฀detector฀and฀as฀such฀must฀be฀operated฀and฀
maintained฀in฀strict฀accordance฀with฀the฀instructions,฀warnings฀and฀label฀information฀
included฀in฀the฀manual.฀
•฀฀฀Before฀operating฀this฀device,฀please฀read฀carefully฀and฀understand฀all฀instructions฀in฀the฀
manual.
•฀฀฀Understand฀the฀screen฀display฀and฀alarm฀warnings฀prior฀to฀use.
•฀฀฀Before฀use,฀please฀check฀the฀activation฀date,฀and฀if฀the฀activation฀date฀has฀expired฀please฀
do฀not฀use฀the฀device.฀
•฀฀฀Before฀use฀ensure฀that฀the฀device฀is฀in฀good฀condition฀and฀the฀enclosure,฀the฀display฀
window,฀alarm฀LED฀windows฀and฀sounder฀aperture฀are฀undamaged฀and฀clear฀from฀
contaminants.฀
•฀฀฀Before฀use฀perform฀the฀self-test฀of฀the฀LED’s,฀sounder฀and฀vibrator.
•฀฀฀Bump฀test฀the฀device฀regularly฀by฀applying฀a฀gas฀concentration฀exceeding฀the฀alarm฀set฀
point.฀It฀is฀recommended฀that฀a฀bump฀test฀is฀performed฀at฀least฀every฀90฀days.
•฀฀฀For฀the฀O

฀detector฀perform฀a฀calibration฀every฀30฀days฀in฀a฀fresh฀air฀environment.
•฀฀฀If฀the฀device฀fails฀a฀bump฀test,฀calibration฀or฀self-test฀please฀do฀not฀use฀the฀device.฀
•฀฀฀Do฀not฀disassemble฀or฀substitute฀components,฀or฀operate฀beyond฀the฀intended฀range฀
of฀use฀as฀this฀may฀impair฀intrinsic฀safety,฀invalidate฀safety฀certication฀and฀will฀void฀the฀
warranty.
•฀฀฀Do฀not฀attempt฀to฀replace฀the฀battery฀or฀sensor฀as฀the฀Clip฀SGD฀is฀designed฀to฀be฀
maintenance฀free฀and฀disposable.฀Changing฀the฀battery฀or฀sensor฀may฀impair฀intrinsic฀
safety,฀invalidate฀safety฀certication฀and฀will฀void฀the฀warranty.
•฀฀฀Use฀IR฀communications฀only฀in฀a฀safe฀area฀that฀is฀free฀from฀hazardous฀gases
•฀฀฀To฀prevent฀the฀generation฀of฀static฀electricity฀do฀not฀clean฀or฀rub฀the฀LCD฀screen฀of฀the฀
device฀with฀a฀dry฀cloth฀or฀hands฀in฀a฀hazardous฀area฀environment฀
•฀฀฀Perform฀cleaning฀and฀maintenance฀of฀the฀device฀in฀a฀safe฀area฀only฀that฀is฀free฀from฀
hazardous฀gases.
•฀฀The฀Clip฀SGD฀is฀shipped฀with฀default฀alarm฀level฀settings.฀It฀is฀the฀users฀responsibility฀to฀
ensure฀the฀alarm฀level฀settings฀are฀appropriate฀for฀the฀specic฀application;฀these฀can฀be฀
changed฀as฀required฀via฀the฀IR_฀Link฀_PC฀Software.
•฀฀฀Gas฀concentration฀measurements฀by฀the฀sensor฀can฀vary฀based฀on฀the฀environment฀
(temperature,฀pressure฀and฀humidity).฀Therefore฀calibration฀of฀Clip฀SGD฀should฀be฀
performed฀in฀the฀same฀(or฀similar)฀environment฀of฀the฀device’s฀actual฀use.
•฀฀฀Severe฀vibration฀or฀shock฀to฀the฀device฀may฀cause฀a฀sudden฀gas฀reading฀change.฀Please฀use฀
Clip฀SGD฀after฀the฀value฀of฀gas฀concentration฀has฀stabilized.
•฀฀฀Excessive฀shock฀to฀Clip฀SGD฀can฀cause฀the฀device฀and/or฀sensor฀to฀malfunction.
•฀฀฀If฀the฀temperature฀changes฀sharply฀during฀use฀of฀the฀device฀(for฀example฀moving฀from฀
indoors฀to฀outdoors),฀the฀value฀of฀the฀measured฀gas฀concentration฀can฀suddenly฀change.฀
Please฀use฀the฀Clip฀SGD฀after฀the฀gas฀concentration฀value฀has฀stabilized.
•฀฀฀The฀device฀is฀intended฀for฀use฀in฀normal฀atmospheric฀conditions,฀pressure฀80฀kPa฀(0.8฀
bar)฀to฀110฀kPa฀(1.1฀bar);฀and฀air฀with฀normal฀oxygen฀content,฀typically฀21฀%฀v/v฀(volume/
volume).
