5.1.2 Sensor Change
WARNING!
• Handle combustible and toxic gas sensors carefully, the electrochemical version is a sealed unit which contains a
corrosive electrolyte. Leaked electrolyte can come into contact with skin, eyes, or clothes, and cause burns. If contact
with the electrolyte does occur, immediately rinse the area with a large quantity of water. If contact with the eyes
occurs, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
• Do not install a leaking sensor in the sensing head assembly. The leaking sensor must be disposed of in accordance
with local, state and federal laws.
• Calibration is required after a sensor is installed; otherwise, the device will not perform as expected.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
