GX-8000 - 8 -
CAUTION
Others
• Pressing buttons unnecessarily may change the settings, preventing alarms from activating
correctly. Operate the gas monitor using only the procedures described in this operating manual.
• Do not drop or give shock to the gas monitor. The water-proof and explosion-proof properties
and accuracy may be deteriorated.
• Do not use the gas monitor while recharging it.
• Whereas the gas monitor can detect oxygen, combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and
hydrogen sulfide, the operating environment may include gases that have harmful effects on the
sensors of this unit. (Different gases can be defected depending on the type.)
The gas monitor cannot be used in the presence of the following gases:
(1) Sulfides (such as H2S and SO2) continuously existing in high concentrations
(2) Halogen gases (such as chloride compounds and chlorofluorocarbons)
(3) Silicone (Si compounds)
Do not use the gas monitor in the presence of the above gases (such as high-concentration
sulfides, halogen gases, and silicone), which may shorten the sensor life significantly or cause
malfunctions such as inaccurate readings.
In case the gas monitor is used for detection in the presence of silicone, etc., be sure to check
the gas sensitivities before using it again.
