NOTE : CSA a seulement évalué la partie LIE pour la mesure des performances
en détection de gaz inammables.
NOTE: The instrument contains internal checking of sensor sensitivity, which during
calibration will prevent the sensor being calibrated if it has been contaminated
or reached its end of life. In addition to this the Instrument Management System
(IMS) can be used to track the condition of sensors from stored calibration results.
AREAS OF USE
Exposure to certain chemicals can result in a loss of sensitivity of the ammable
sensor. Where such environments are known or suspected it is recommended that
more frequent response checks are carried out. (Refer to Chapter 3: ‘MANUAL
BUMP TEST’). Chemical compounds that can cause loss of sensitivity include
Silicones, Lead, Halogens and Sulphur.
Do not use instrument in potentially hazardous atmospheres containing greater
than 21% Oxygen.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF USE
No precautions against electrostatic discharge are necessary for portable
equipment that has an enclosure made of plastic, metal or a combination of the
two, except where a signiî‚¿cant static generating mechanism has been identiî‚¿ed.
Activities such as placing the item in a pocket or on a belt, operating a keypad
or cleaning with a damp cloth, do not present a signiî‚¿cant electrostatic risk.
However, where a static-generating mechanism is identiî‚¿ed, such as repeated
brushing against clothing, then suitable precautions shall be taken, e.g. the use
of anti-static footwear.
STORAGE, HANDLING AND TRANSIT
The instrument is designed to handle harsh environments. The instrument is
sealed to IP67 and, if not subjected to misuse or malicious damage, will provide
many years of reliable service.
The instrument can contain electrochemical sensors. Under conditions of prolonged
storage these sensors should be removed. The sensor contains potentially
corrosive liquid and care should be taken when handling or disposing of the sensor,
particularly when a leak is suspected.
WARRANTY
The GMI PS200 instrument has a standard warranty of 2 years against faulty
consumable, mechanical and electronic parts, e.g. pump, sensors, î‚¿lters, battery,
exi-PCB etc.
For further details, please contact GMI.
Please note however, that the warranty does not include damage caused by
misuse, e.g. mechanical impact or water ingress and provided that any service or
calibration work has been carried out by the manufacturer or authorised agent.
