1.3 Safety and Precautionary Measures
Use Device only for Assigned Gases
The device must be used only for gases for which a sensor is installed in the
device.
Check Function
Before each day’s use, check the function of the device ( chapter 3.5).
MSA recommends carrying out a routine inspection prior to each day’s use.
Perform a Bump Test
Bump test frequency is often stipulated by national or corporate regulations;
however, bump testing before each day´s use is generally the accepted best
safety practice and is therefore MSA’s recommendation. The device must pass
the bump test. If it fails the test, perform a calibration before using the device.
Perform a bump test more frequently if the device is subjected to physical shock
or high levels of contaminants.
Check Function and Alarm before Each Use
In case of failed function tests, the device must be removed from use.
