Safety Considerations
The 1316A-3 Multi Gas Monitor is designed and tested to comply with EN
61010-1.2 nd (2001) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use. The protection provided by the
instrument may be impaired if not used as specified by LumaSense
Technologies A/S. To ensure safe operation and retain the monitor in safe
condition, special note should be made of the following:
Explosion Hazard!
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION, MONITORING OF
FLAMMABLE GASES IN EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATIONS MUST NEVER
BE ATTEMPTED.
Never operate this monitor in potentially explosive environments.
When monitoring potentially flammable or toxic gases it is essential:
· The instrument itself is placed in a well-ventilated area outside the
potentially hazardous zone; and
· That a sufficiently long tube is connected to the Gas Outlet on the
back panel so that the sampled gas is carried away to the open air or
to an extraction and/or filtration unit.
Warnings!
· Water condensation in the instrument will damage it severely, and
must therefore be avoided.
· Switch off all equipment before connecting or disconnecting their digital
interface. Failure to do so could damage the equipment.
· Whenever it is likely that the correct function or operating safety of the
apparatus has been impaired, the apparatus must be made inoperative
and be secured against unintended operation.
· Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the open apparatus under
voltage must be avoided as far as possible and, if unavoidable, must be
carried out by trained service personnel only.
Applying power
Before using this apparatus, verify that the correct fuses are installed.
The instrument must always be operated with its chassis at earth
potential. Only use power outlets that can supply an earth to the
instrument.
