Limitations of hazardous area use

ATEX coding II 1G states that the equipment is for non-mining use (II) with highest protection (1) for gas (G)

atmospheres.

Electrical Coding Ex ia IIC T4 Ga (-20°C ≤ Ta ≤ +50°C) states that the equipment is intrinsically safe (ia) for use in

zones 0, 1 and 2 and that it may be used in areas where flammable gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC are present. T4

indicates that the equipment is suitable for use in flammable gasses with a T Class of T1, T2, T3 or T4. The

ambient working temperature for the equipment is -20°C to +50°C.

Condition of safe use

Transportation, removal and replacement of the scintillator from the PM probe (model SA-50/1) must be done in a

non-hazardous area only.

Practical safety points

 Do not open the battery compartment in a hazardous area.

 Use only the Duracell MX1604 or MN1604 alkaline manganese battery.

Lock the battery compartment by the screw in the compartment lid -do not over-tighten.

 Clean with damp cloth. Do not use solvents on the handset monitor window.

 Check the monitor and probes for signs of damage or cracks in the casing before use.
