AREAS OF USE
Exposure to certain chemicals can result in a loss of sensitivity of the flammable
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 significant static generating mechanism has been
identified. 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 significant electrostatic
risk. However, where a static-generating mechanism is identified, 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 and Mechanical parts, e.g. pump, sensors, filters, battery, etc.,
and a warranty of 5 years against faulty electronics, e.g. Flexi-PCB.
For further details, please contact GMI Ltd (UK).
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.
