area:
o BEFORE entering a known hazardous zone, switch on the instrument and make sure
the display is visible and that the keys respond correctly.
o BEFORE entering a known hazardous zone, check that the sample pump can be
operated.
• The instrument must be inspected for damage prior to use and the instrument must not be
used if the case is damaged:
