The Orion
®
Multigas Detector is for use by trained and qualified
personnel. It is designed to be used when performing a hazard
assessment to:
•
Assess potential worker exposure to combustible and toxic
gases and vapors
•
Determine the appropriate gas and vapor monitoring needed for
a workplace.
The Orion Multigas Detector can be equipped to detect:
•
Combustible gases and certain combustible vapors
•
Oxygen-deficient or oxygen-rich atmospheres
•
Specific toxic gases for which a sensor is installed.
º
WARNING
•
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
•
Check calibration before each day’s use and adjust if
necessary.
•
Check calibration more frequently if exposed to silicone,
silicates, lead-containing compounds, hydrogen sulfide, or
high contaminant levels.
•
Recheck calibration if unit is subjected to physical shock.
•
Check pump (if used) for proper operation before each
days use.
•
Use only to detect gases/vapors for which a sensor is
installed.
•
Do not use to detect combustible dusts or mists.
•
Make sure adequate oxygen is present.
•
Do not block sensors.
•
Do not place end of sampling line in liquids.
•
Wait for accurate reading; response times vary, based on
gas/vapor and length of sampling line.
