How to Use
4-1. Before using the indicator/alarm unit
Not only the first-time users but also the users who have already used the product must follow the operating
precautions.
Ignoring the precautions may damage the indicator/alarm unit, resulting in inaccurate gas detection.
NOTE
Install the indicator/alarm unit in a single-unit case (option) or multi-unit case (option) before using it.
This section explains using the single-unit case.
For information on using the multi-unit case, see the operating manual of the multi-unit case.
4-2. Precautions for installation points
Do not install the indicator/alarm unit in a place with vibrations or shocks.
The indicator/alarm unit consists of sensitive electronic parts. The indicator/alarm unit must be installed in a
stable place without vibrations or shocks and it cannot drop.
Do not install the indicator/alarm unit in a place exposed to water, oil or chemicals.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where the indicator/alarm unit is exposed to water, oil or
chemicals.
Do not install the indicator/alarm unit in a place where the temperature drops below -10ºC or rises over
40ºC.
The operating temperature of the indicator/alarm unit is -10 to 40ºC. The indicator/alarm unit must be
installed in a stable place where the operating temperature is maintained and does not change suddenly.
CAUTION
This is a precision device. Because the indicator/alarm unit may not provide the specified
performance in some places (environments), check the environment in the installation point, and
then take appropriate actions if necessary.
Because the indicator/alarm unit plays an important role for safety and disaster prevention, you
must install as many units of the indicator/alarm unit as needed in appropriate points.
Because points where gases leak and remain easily are different depending on the types of gases
and the working areas, please decide carefully installation sites and the number of units to be
installed.
