2. Safety and Precautionary Measures to Be Adopted
WARNING
Failure to follow the recommendations shown below can result in an unsafe condition and persons who
rely on this product for their safety could sustain severe personal injury or loss of life.
The device described in this manual must be installed, operated and maintained in strict accordance
with the labels, cautions, instructions and within the limitations stated.
Protect the device from extreme vibration.
Do not mount the device in extreme heat or sunlight as this may cause overheating. A sunshield is
available to protect from extreme environments.
Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures. Failure to
do so may seriously impair device performance. Repair or alteration of the device beyond the scope
of the product instructions or by anyone other than an authorized MSA service provider could cause
the product to fail to perform as designed.
Do not paint the device. If painting is done in an area where the device is located, exercise caution to
ensure paint is not deposited on the device. Such paint deposits could interfere with the device
operation. Solvents in the paint may also cause an alarm condition to occur.
Do not use a high pressure wash on the device. Forced water entry to some sensor inlets can
obstruct the gas path leading to degraded performance.
XIR Plus sensors should be mounted horizontally. Non XIR Plus sensors should be mounted vertically
facing down. This will help ensure that environmental particulates will not block the gas path to the
sensor. It is recommended to periodically perform a visual inspection of the sensor gas inlet as part of
normal maintenance. Failure to follow this recommendation can lead to degraded performance.
Do not use silicone type lubricants in assembling the device and do not allow silicone vapors to be
drawn into the flow system while in operation. Silicone can desensitize the combustible gas sensor
thereby giving incorrect readings.
Before connection to a monitoring controller (PLC, DCS, etc.), the user or installer must be properly
trained with respect to the specific controller operation, input/output hardware, configuration and
startup procedures.
