Safety Information

1. IMPORTANT:

Read and understand this manual prior to use.

2. IMPORTANT:

Oxygen instruments will show high readings for up to
30 minutes if taken from warm air to cold temperatures and vice-versa. For
best results let them "soak" in the ambient conditions prior to use.

3. WARNING: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic Safety.

4. WARNING: This instrument contains a lithium battery which may

leak or explode if improperly used. DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN A FIRE.

5. WARNING: Only service in an area known to be free of combustible

gases.

6. WARNING: Instruments are not certified intrinsically safe in environ-

ments above 21% oxygen.

7. WARNING: To verify operation prior to each day's use a function test

(bump test) should be performed. If the instrument does not pass this
test, full calibration should be performed.

8. WARNING: Keep all openings free from dirt, debris and foreign

objects.

9. WARNING: Do not use a damaged or improperly operating instru-

ment. Contact a service representative immediately.

General Description

The TPI PGM100 is an exceptionally rugged personal gas monitor. The
PGM100 is available in single gas configurations only. Preset alarms pro­vide visual, audible and vibration alerts for low and high alarm conditions.
Built-in "Time Weighted Average" (TWA) and "Short Term Exposure Limit"
(STEL) alarms provide even greater margin of safety for the user. A cus­tom display provides the user with easy to view information including gas
concentration, time remaining in months to sensor replacement, battery
low alert and activation of calibration process. (See Figure 1)
