RKI Instruments GD-70D Series - Disposal

- 35 - GD-70D
WARNING
• The detector is designed to draw gas under normal atmospheric pressure. If excessive pressure is
applied to the GAS IN or GAS OUT fitting, detected gases may be leaked from its inside, thus
leading to dangers. Be sure that excessive pressure is not applied to the detector during use.
CAUTION
• Keep the inlet line as short as possible to minimize the absorption of gas by the sample tubing.
• When the humidity in the sampling point is high, condensation may be formed inside of the tube.
Make sure to avoid condensation when detecting water-soluble gases such as a strong acid gas,
because it may corrode internal parts. Also avoid looping or kinking the tubing.
•
Please contact RKI for help determining an inlet tubing length.
4-8 Disposal
• A used sensor unit must be returned to RKI.
• If any liquid leaks from the electrochemical type sensor unit (ESU) or galvanic cell type sensor unit (OSU),
do not touch the liquid. If any liquid leaks while the sensor unit is installed in the detector, turn off power to
the detector and contact RKI immediately.
• Because the pyrolysis-particle type sensor unit (SSU) contains a small amount of radioactive materials, it
must be transported appropriately (as a L-type package). When the sensor unit is returned to us, it must be
handled by a transportation company which can handle L-type packages.
• When the main unit is disposed of, it must be treated properly as an industrial waste in accordance with the
local regulations.
WARNING
• Do not disassemble the electrochemical type sensor unit (ESU) or the galvanic cell type sensor unit
(OSU) because they contain electrolyte.
Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if it contacts skin and may cause blindness if it contacts
eyes. Electrolyte may damage or discolor clothing. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with
a large quantity of water.
• The pyrolysis-particle type sensor unit (SSU) must be returned to us in accordance with its "Safety
Manual". We will properly dispose of it. Ignoring the "Safety Manual" will result in legal penalties.
