Flammability
The ACM 150 monitor enclosure is constructed of nonflammable materials. All high-
voltage (115/230 Vac) is contained within nonflammable enclosures.

Potential key failure points and trouble spots
Potential key failure points and trouble spots can include, but are not limited to:
• Chemical exposure due to leaking fittings
• Chemical exposures due to maintenance activities
• Potential electric shock from servicing electrical components. Methods to avoid
potential hazards include using personal protective equipment, various system-level
safety interlocks, and administrative controls.
2.15.
Potentially hazardous maintenance activities
When performing maintenance on the ACM 150 monitor, especially for installations with
hazardous gas alarm incidents, purge all sample lines with air or nitrogen to prevent
exposure to dangerous chemicals. Also, when performing maintenance on the sample cell
or any components that may trap or collect hazardous gas, use appropriate protective
equipment to limit exposure to any possible gas sample residue.

Environmental issues
Environmental issues involve correctly disposing of potentially hazardous wastes
generated during maintenance procedures. The following ACM 150 monitor components
are potentially hazardous materials and may need infrequent replacement:
• Lithium battery inside computer
• Gas sample filter inside pump cabinet
• End-of-line filters and check valves if installed
• Cleaning wipes and materials such as gloves
• Sample tubing and solenoid valves
Other materials in the sample stream that may have contact with hazardous gases should
also be considered potentially hazardous. Contact your local environmental management
agency or a hazardous waste management company for proper recycling and disposal
sites and procedures for these components.
