1.3.2. Combustible Sensor Warnings and Cautions
The following list of warnings and cautions pertain to the general use and care of the sensors within
the Protégé.
Failure to follow these warnings and cautions may result in death, injury, or poor equipment
performance.
WARNINGS
EXTENDED EXPOSURE OF THE DETECTOR TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF TOXIC OR COMBUSTIBLE GASES MAY
RESULT IN DEGRADED SENSOR PERFORMANCE. IF AN ALARM OCCURS DUE TO HIGH CONCENTRATION OF
COMBUSTIBLE GASES, RECALIBRATE THE MONITOR OR, IF NEEDED, REPLACE THE SENSOR.
THE COMBUSTIBLE SENSOR REQUIRES 10% OXYGEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO OPERATE. IF YOU ARE UNAWARE
OF THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATION OR IF THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATION IS BELOW 10% DO NOT USE THE
PROTÉGÉ TO MONITOR FOR COMBUSTIBLE GAS CONCENTRATIONS.
CAUTIONS
DO NOT USE ANY SOLVENTS, CHEMICALS, OR POLISHES CONTAINING SILICON COMPOUNDS TO CLEAN THE
DETECTOR AS THESE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR.
SENSITIVITY OF THE COMBUSTIBLE GAS SENSOR CAN BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE TO SULFUR
COMPOUNDS, HALOGENS, SILICONE OR LEAD CONTAINING COMPOUNDS, OR PHOSPHORUS CONTAINING
COMPOUNDS. AVOID EXPOSURE TO THESE SUBSTANCES. SHOULD THE DETECTOR BE SUSPECTED OF BEING
EXPOSED TO SUCH SUBSTANCES, PERFORM A GAS TEST TO VERIFY ITS ACCURACY AND THAT IT IS CALIBRATED
ACCORDINGLY.
