GasAlertMicroClip

Safety Information - Read First

• Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. Honeywell recommends calibrating at least once every 180 days (6 months).

• Honeywell recommends to “bump test” the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.

• Honeywell recommends the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after any known exposure to catalyst contaminants/poisons (sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc).

• The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.

• Caution: High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration.

• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA International.

• Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

• Sensor exposure to certain organic vapors (such as leaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) may temporarily inhibit sensor performance. After exposure, a bump test or calibration is recommended.

• For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).

• Any rapid up-scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.

• Only calibrate the detector in a fresh air environment and in a safe area.

• Use only Honeywell approved batteries for the GasAlertMicroClip detector. Refer to Specifications.

• Charge the detector before first-time use. Honeywell recommends the detector be charged after every workday.

• Charge the detector using the recommended charging adapter only. Do not use any other charging adapter. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead to fire and/or explosion.

• Extended exposure of the detector to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress a detector element that can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of combustible gases, calibrate the detector. If necessary, replace the sensor.

• Do not test the combustible sensor’s response with a butane cigarette lighter; doing so will damage the sensor.

• Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe continuous mechanical shock.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions for that procedure are provided in the technical reference guide, and/or that part is listed as a replacement part. Use only Honeywell replacement parts. Refer to Replacement Parts and Accessories.

• The detector warranty will be voided if customers, personnel, or third parties damage the detector during repair attempts. Non-Honeywell repair/service attempts void this warranty.

: 18% by volume, balance N

• To ensure accurate calibration, use a premium-grade calibration gas. Gases approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) improve the accuracy of the calibration.

• Do not use a gas cylinder past its expiration date.

• Calibrate a new sensor before use. Install the sensor, activate t detector, and allow the sensor to stabilize before starting calibration (used sensor: 60 seconds / new sensor: 5 minutes, for X3 O stabilization takes 60 minutes.

• Calibrate the sensors at least once every 180 days, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants.

• Calibrate the detector if the gas readings varies during startup.

• Calibrate the sensor before defining the alarm setpoints.

• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.

• Do not calibrate the detector during or immediately after charging is co

mplete.

• The oxygen sensor can be automatically calibrated each time upon activation (if this feature is enabled). Activate the detector in a normal (20.9%/20.8% oxygen) atmosphere.

• Allow the detector to stabilize for 1 minute after activation before performing a calibration or bump test.

• If a certified calibration is required, contact
