Important Notice

System configurations of the detector are available with 4, 3, 2, and 1 gas sensor(s) installed in order to provide specific protection for most major industrial applications and compliance requirements. Though this operating manual is provided for the detector with 4 gas sensors installed, the information in the manual also applies to other system configurations of the detector with 3, 2, and 1 gas sensor(s) installed as well (See Section 8 System Configurations Options).

To ensure proper functioning of this product, do not use it until you read and completely understand this operating manual. It contains operating and maintenance procedures to ensure proper detector function. For your safety, it is required to calibrate the detector periodically (See Section 4 Calibration).

Honeywell Analytics can take no responsibility for use of its equipment if it is not used in accordance with the instructions stated in the relevant manual. If further details are required but not provided in this manual, contact Honeywell Analytics or their agent.

Honeywell Analytics shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages in connection with any modifications, errors or omissions in this manual.

Warnings and Cautions

•Substitution of any components may impair intrinsic safety.

•Use only approved memory cards, part # 2566-0435, which are available from Honeywell Analytics. Use of any other manufacturer or type will violate intrinsic safety requirements.

•Activation of the detector after the date on the packaging means less usable life and shorter warranty period.

•Use only approved ‘AA’ Alkaline Batteries, Energizer® E91 or EN91: or use only approved 'AA' NiMH recharchable cells. Quest 1500mAh, order part number 2566-0454 (Quest part number HL-AAC1500). Use of any other manufacturer or type will violate intrinsic safety requirements.

•Use only two new batteries of the same type, when replacing the batteries.

•The optional NiMH rechargeable batteries must be in fully charged condition and replaced as a new pair. Do not attempt to charge the optional NiMH cells in potentially hazardous areas

•Replace batteries as soon as the detector emits a low battery alarm.

•Battery life will be reduced at low temperatures.

•Replace batteries only in an area known to be NON-HAZARDOUS.

•Perform a Self-Test prior to each day’s use (See Section 3-1 Performing a Self-Test).

•Periodicallytestthesensors’responsetogasbyexposingthemonitortoatargetgas concentrationthatexceedsthealarmsetpoints.Verifyproperoperationofaudible, visual and vibrating alarms during this test.

•Use only factory supplied calibration gas for calibration. Accurate calibration can be achieved only if specific concentrations of the correct gases are used.

•Calibration should be carried out in a well-ventilated area to avoid contaminants.

•Calibration cannot be carried out when the detector emits a low battery alarm.

•Do not use the detector in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.

•The flammable sensor’s sensitivity can be adversely affected by exposure to certain substances called “poisons”. Sulfur compounds, phosphorus containing compounds, halogens, silicone or lead containing compounds are examples of such poisons. Every effort should be made to avoid exposure to these substances. When the detector is exposed to such substances, a gas test should be performed on the flammable sensor to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed if necessary.

•Extended exposure of the detector to certain high concentrations of flammable gases and air may stress the flammable detector element, which can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of flammable gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the sensor replaced.

•Do not use solvents, soap, polishes or any product containing silicon compounds to clean the detector as these can cause damage to the sensors.

•Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe mechanical shock. When the detector is exposed to such shocks, a check should be performed on the sensors to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed if necessary.

•Disabling one or more installed sensors configures the detector to a 1, 2, or 3-gas unit. No protection is provided for the gas targeted by the disabled sensor(s).

•Do not install or remove the memory card in the detector or attempt to read, download or write to the memory card using a memory card reader and/or computer in potentially hazardous atmospheres.

•Do not remove the batteries from the detector while the power is on.This can cause fatal damage to the optional memory card if installed.

•No gas will be detected while in the set-up mode or the gas exposure status review mode.

•The desktop USB memory card reader and data logging kit are not certified intrinsically safe and must not be used in potentially hazardous atmospheres.
