Table 1.2 Warnings and c autionary statements
IECEx
Read and understand the manual before use. Failure to perform certain procedures or note certain conditions may
impair the performance of this product.
When sample tubing is connected to the pump and the pump is powered on, it continues to draw sample air even if
the pump door is open. This can cause an unsafe condition. Remove the sample tubing from the pump inlet or power
off the pump before opening the pump door.
When the pump is powered on and no instrument is installed, the pump continues to draw sample air. This can cause
an unsafe condition. Power off the pump before removing the instrument.
Service the pump and replace or charge the battery packs only in an area known to be nonhazardous. Not for use in
oxygen- enriched atmospheres.
Battery contacts are exposed on battery packs when they are removed from the instrument. Do not touch the battery
contacts and do not stack battery packs on top of each other.
Insert the alkaline batteries with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation. The Ventis Slide-on Pump is
approved for use with the AAA alkaline battery types Energizer EN92 and Duracell MN2400 only. Do not mix battery
types; when replacing alkaline batteries, replace each and every battery.
Replace battery packs with these part numbers only.
IECEx: 17148313-1, 17134453-X1, 17138041, or 17150608.
Alkaline battery pack part numbers 17150608 and 17138041 are only approved for use with three AAA battery types
Duracell MN2400 and Energizer EN92. Replace all batteries at the same time.
