2-3 Caution Statements
CAUTION
Do not use a transceiver (walkie-talkie) near the detector.
Radio waves from a transceiver near the detector or its cables may disrupt detector operation. When using a
transceiver, it must be used in a place where it disturbs nothing.
Do not turn the detector on less than 5 seconds after it was turned off.
Restarting the detector less than five seconds after turning it off may cause errors.
Verify that the reading on the flow rate indicator corresponds to the specified flow rate before using the
detector.
If it does not correspond to the specified flow rate, gas detection cannot be performed properly. Be sure the flow
rate is stable.
Attach the dust filter before using the detector.
Before using the detector, attach the specified filter to prevent disturbances by possible gas absorption or air
dust.
The dust filter used depends on the gas being detected. For more information on dust filters, please contact RKI.
Observe the operating restrictions to prevent condensation inside the tube.
Condensation formed inside the tube causes clogging or gas absorption, which disturbs accurate gas detection.
Thus, condensation must be avoided. In addition to the installation environment, carefully monitor the
temperature/humidity of the sampled area to prevent condensation inside the tube. In particular, when detecting
a corrosive, water-soluble gas, such as a strong acid gas, the gas is undetectable and furthermore may corrode
internal parts. Please observe the operating restrictions.
Do not use the external output of the detector to control other devices.
This is not a control device. You are not allowed to use its external output to control other devices.
Do not disassemble/modify the detector, or change the settings unless necessary.
Disassembling/modifying the detector will invalidate the guarantee of the performance. Changing the settings
without understanding the specifications may cause alarm malfunctions. Please use the detector properly in
accordance with the operating manual.
Do not forget to perform regular maintenance.
Since this is a safety device, regular maintenance must be performed to ensure its safety. Continuing to use the
detector without performing maintenance will compromise the sensitivity of the sensor, thus resulting in
inaccurate gas detection.
