GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR
User Manual
aCautions
• Any rapid up-scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale
limit, which may be hazardous.
• 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.
• 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 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.
