1 Safety Regulations
1.1 Correct Use
The S5000 Gas Monitor, hereafter also called device, is a gas monitor for measuring toxic and combustible gases as well as oxygen. Using sensors, the device
tests the ambient air and triggers the alarm as soon as the gas exceeds a specific concentration level.
WARNING!
Do not use silicone-type lubricants in assembling the device and do not allow silicone vapors to be drawn into the flow system while in operation. Silicone can
desensitize the combustible gas sensor, thereby giving erroneously low readings. Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance
procedures provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair sensor and gas monitoring performance, alter flameproof/explosionproof characteristics
or void agency approvals.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death
WARNING!
As with all gas monitors of this type, high levels of, or long exposure to, certain compounds in the tested atmosphere could contaminate the sensors. In
atmospheres where an S5000 Gas Monitor may be exposed to such materials, calibration must be performed frequently for dependable operation and to confirm
that display indications are accurate.
These effects include, but are not limited to:
Passive MOS sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain substances. Loss of sensitivity or corrosion may be gradual if such
agents are present in low concentrations or it may be rapid at high concentrations. Examples of these substances are as follows:
– Halides: compounds containing fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine
– Heavy metals, e.g. tetraethyl lead
– Caustic and Acidic liquids and vapors
– Glycol
The H2S Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
– Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol)
– Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
– Chlorine (Cl2)
– Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.)
The CO Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
– Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol)
– Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.)
The O2 Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
– Long term exposure to low levels of Acetylene
– Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.) in high concentrations larger than 1000 ppm or prolonged exposure to lower
concentrations
Prolonged exposure of the H2S Digital Sensor to humidity levels of 5% RH or lower will result in gas measurement readings of H2S that are greater than the
actual gas concentration present.
It is not recommended to expose the O2, H2S and CO Digital Sensors to environments containing oxygen levels above 30% (v/v) or below 5% (v/v). The O2
sensor will operate at concentrations below 5% (v/v) but not for prolonged periods of time.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the -following two conditions:
• this device may not cause harmful interference, and
