Battery Pack Care
The battery pack contains nickel-metal hydride. This battery pack must be
disposed of properly. Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.
Charge the battery pack using the AC adapter provided with, or identified for use
with, this product only, in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified
in this manual.
Excessive Heat and Cold
The normal operating temperature is 0 C to 40 C (32 F to 105 F) with 0 to 95%
(non-condensing) relative humidity.
Do not expose the instrument to intense sunlight for prolonged periods. This may
result in a rise in instrument temperature and loss of oven control. Exposure to
excessive heat may also result in instrument contamination. Low temperatures will
cause decreased battery life and may also result in loss of oven control. The plastics
may become fragile and shatter at extreme low temperatures.
Adequate Ventilation
If compound threshold limit values (TLVs) are exceeded, you should use a gas bag
and the gas bag adapter for sampling and provide adequate ventilation during
calibration. When using the gas bag adapter tubing, do not kink or stress the
tubing. The gas bag and gas bag adapter are available in both field kits for assay 1,
assays 2, 10, and ethylene, and calibration kit for assays 1, 2, 10, and ethylene
(MX380318, MX380348, MX380338, MX380358, and MX380337).
