GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR
User Manual
4
• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas, in
an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• Use only BW approved batteries for the GasAlertMicro 5/
PID/IR detectors. Refer to Replacement Parts and
Accessories.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. BW recommends
the detector be charged after every workday.
• Charge the battery pack immediately when a low battery
alarm occurs.
• Read and adhere to the battery cautions provided in Battery
Cautions.
• Charge the GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR batteries using the
recommended charging adapter only. Do not use any other
charging adapter. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead
to fire and/or explosion.
• Read and adhere to all instructions in the charger user
manual. Failure to do so can result in fire, electrical shock,
personal injury, and/or property damage.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR detectors
to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may
stress a detector element, which can seriously affect its
performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration
of combustible gases, recalibration should be performed, or
if needed, the sensor replaced.
aCautions
• Protect the PID sensor from exposure to silicone vapors.
• When calibrating O
3
and ClO
2
sensors that are located in
the Toxic 2 sensor position, a single gas calibration cap
must be used to ensure accurate calibration. For more
information, refer to Single Gas Calibration Cap
.
• Replace the CO
2
sensor only in a safe and non-hazardous
area that is free of hazardous gas.
• The optional pump (M5-PUMP) is certified for use with the
GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR detectors only.
• Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
• Do not test the combustible sensor’s response with a
butane cigarette lighter; doing so will damage the sensor.
• Do not expose the detector to electrical shock or severe
continuous mechanical shock.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the
detector unless instructions for that procedure are provided
in the user manual and/or that part is listed as a
replacement part. Use only BW Technologies by Honeywell
Replacement Parts and Accessories
.
• The detector warranty is void if customer, personnel, or
third parties damage the detector during repair attempts.
Repair attempts made by non-BW Technologies by
Honeywell repair/service personnel voids this warranty.
Lithium Battery Packs
• Warning: The lithium battery (M5-BAT08) may present a risk
of fire or chemical burn hazard if misused. Do not
disassemble,
heat above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate.
