1.3 Safety and Precautionary Measures to be Adopted
-The ULTIMA X
®
Series Gas Monitors described in this manual must be in-
stalled, operated and maintained in strict accordance with their labels, cautions,
instructions, and within the limitations stated.
-The ULTIMA X
®
Series Gas Monitor is designed to detect gases or vapours in
air. The concentration of gases or vapours in steam or inerted and oxygen-de-
ficient atmospheres cannot be measured with this instrument. For oxygen defi-
ciency measurements, use the oxygen sensor.
- For oxygen deficiency or enrichment measurements use the 0-25 % oxygen
sensor for oxygen measurement during inerting use the 0-10 % oxygen sensor.
- The ULTIMA XIR Infrared Combustible Gas Monitor detects the presence of
most combustible gases by measuring the infrared light absorbed during the
presence of these gases. This monitor however, does NOT detect the presence
of hydrogen gas and must never be used to monitor for hydrogen gas.
- The ULTIMA XIR Combustible Gas Monitor does not detect the presence of
acetylene gas and the presence of acetylene gas will degrade the sensor per-
formance.
- Protect the ULTIMA X
®
Series Gas Monitor from extreme vibration. Do not
mount the sensing head in direct sunlight as this may cause overheating of the
sensor.
- Electrochemical sensors are sealed units which contain a corrosive electrolyte.
Should a sensor develop leakage, it must be immediately removed from service
and disposed of properly. Caution must be exercised so that the electrolyte
does not contact skin, clothing or circuitry otherwise personal injury [burns] and/
or equipment damage may result.
- The only absolute method to ensure proper overall Operation of an
ULTIMA X
®
Series Monitor is to check it with a known concentration of the gas
for which it has been calibrated. Consequently, calibration checks must be in-
cluded as part of the routine inspection of the System. When calibration gas is
applied via the gas inlet of a SensorGard, a calibration cap shall be used for pre-
vention against influence of the surrounding atmosphere.
Attention!
The following safety instructions must be observed implicitly. Only in this
way can the safety and health of the individual operators, and the correct
functioning of the instrument, be guaranteed.
