Safety Information: Read First
1. Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
2. BW recommends performing a bump test prior to each day’s use to conrm sensor
response and alarm activation by exposing the detector to a concentration of target
gas that exceeds the low alarm set point. BW also recommends performing a bump
test if the detector has been subjected to physical impact, liquid immersion, an Over
Limit alarm event, custody changes, or anytime the detectors performance is in doubt.
Calibrate the detector after a failed bump test. Always bump test and calibrate in a fresh
air environment.
3. Detectors in hibernation mode are not functional.
1. Activate the detector before the activation date on the package.
2. This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device.
3. Ensure that the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed.
4. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
5. For optimal performance, periodically zero the sensor in a normal atmosphere (20.9%
) that is free of hazardous gas.

6. Portable safety gas detectors are life safety devices. Accuracy of ambient gas
reading(s) is dependent upon factors such as accuracy of the calibration gas standard
used for calibration and frequency of calibration. BW recommends performing a
calibration at least once every 180 days (6 months).
Informations de sécurité – À lire au préalable
AVERTISSEMENT
1. Le remplacement d’un composant de l’appareil peut compromettre la sécurité
intrinsèque du détecteur.
2. Avant chaque utilisation quotidienne, BW recommande d’effectuer un test fonctionnel
an de vérier la réaction du capteur et l’activation de l’alarme, en exposant le détecteur
à une concentration de gaz cible supérieure au seuil d’alarme basse. BW recommande
également d’effectuer un test fonctionnel si le détecteur a été soumis à un impact
physique, à une immersion dans du liquide, à un événement d’alarme Dépassement
de la limite, à des changements d’utilisateur ou chaque fois que les performances
du détecteur sont mises en doute. Étalonnez le détecteur après l’échec d’un test
fonctionnel. Effectuez toujours un test fonctionnel et étalonnez dans un environnement
avec de l’air frais.
3. Détecteurs en mode veille prolongée ne sont pas fonctionnels.
MISE EN GARDE
1. Activez le détecteur avant la date d’activation sur l’emballage.
2. Ce produit est un détecteur de gaz, pas un dispositif de mesure.
3. Veillez à assurer que la grille du capteur est exempt de saleté, les débris, et ne soit pas
obstrué.
4. Nettoyez l’extérieur de l’appareil à l’aide d’un chiffon doux et humide.
5. Pour des performances optimales, zéro périodiquement le capteur dans une
atmosphère normale (20,9% v/v O
6. Les détecteurs portables de gaz de sécurité sont des dispositifs de sécurité des
personnes. La précision des valeurs de gaz ambiant dépend de divers facteurs,
tels que la précision de la norme de gaz d’étalonnage utilisée pour l’étalonnage et la
fréquence d’étalonnage. BW recommande d’effectuer un étalonnage au moins une fois
tous les 180 jours (6 mois).

Automatic Zero Reminder for O2 Models
For O2 models only, the Automatic Zero Reminder is displayed when
more than 24 hours have elapsed since the last successful zero
procedure was performed.
Peak Readings
The peak readings symbol is displayed when the sensor is exposed to
a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. It is no longer
displayed when more than 24 hours have passed since the last alarm,
or when a successful bump test is performed via an IntelliDoX or
MicroDock II station.
Non-compliance Symbol and LED Indicators
The non-compliance warning symbol is displayed when:
• an internal diagnostic test fails;
• a bump test, calibration or zero procedure fails;
• a bump test or calibration is due, if enabled;
• the sensor is exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints, if enabled.
The non-compliance warning symbol is no longer displayed when more than 24 hours have
passed since the last alarm, or when a successful bump test or calibration is performed
(manual calibration or via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station). The non-compliance
warning symbol is permanently displayed when the service-life countdown reaches 24 hours
or less before expiry, and for up to 30 days after expiry.
When Non-compliance after gas exposure is enabled through Fleet Manager II via
an IntelliDoX station, the LEDs ash in an alternating pattern when the non-compliance
warning symbol is displayed. When the symbol is rst displayed, the top LEDs ash. After
30 seconds, the side LEDs ash. After 30 seconds, the pattern repeats until the non-
