WARNINGS
Sensepoint
is designed for installation and use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous
areas in Europe. Installation must be in accordance with the recognized
standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned.
Before carrying out any work ensure local regulations and site procedures
are followed. Appropriate standards must be followed to maintain
the overall certification of the detector.
Access to the interior of the detector, when carrying out any work, must only be
conducted by trained personnel. Switch off and isolate the power supply
to the detector when access is required.Take any necessary
precautions to prevent false alarms.
Never attempt to open a junction box/enclosure or replace/refit the sensor
when flammable/toxic gas is present.
The detector must be earthed for electrical safety and to limit the effects of
radio interference. An earth point is provided inside the unit. Ensure that
all screens/armor are grounded at a single earth star point at the controller
or detector - BUT NOT BOTH - to prevent false alarms due to earth loops.
Take care when handling sensors as they may contain corrosive solutions.
Do not tamper or in any way dis-assemble the sensor.
Do not expose to temperatures outside the recommended range.
Do not expose sensor to organic solvents or flammable liquids.
At the end of their working life, sensors must be disposed of in
an environmentally safe manner. Disposal should be according to local
waste management requirements and environmental legislation.
Alternatively, sensors may be securely packaged and returned to
Honeywell Analytics clearly marked for environmental disposal.
Electrochemical cells should NOT be incinerated as they
may emit toxic fumes.
When replacing the gas detector’s junction box ensure that the correct
gas label is affixed to the replacement enclosure.
