The Solaris 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 Solaris 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Have a trained and qualified person interpret
instrument readings.
• Do not recharge Li ION battery in a combustible
atmosphere.
• Do not replace alkaline batteries in a combustible
atmosphere.
• Do not alter or modify instrument.
INCORRECT USE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
