Caution
To avoid possible personal injury, adhere to the following:
• Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
• Warning: To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing.
• Do not use the detector if it is damaged. Before using the detector, inspect the case. Look for cracks and missing
parts.
• Use only a sensor specifically designed for the GasAlert Extreme model. Refer to Replacement Parts and Accesso-
ries.
• Do not deactivate the detector during a work shift. Deactivating the detector resets the time-weighted average (TWA),
short-term exposure limit (STEL), and maximum gas exposure values to 0. Refer to Alarms
.
• Ensure the sensor screen is not blocked.
• If the detector is damaged or parts are missing, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell
immediately.
• If the detector has been disassembled, ensure the front and rear shells are properly aligned and fastened before acti-
vating the detector. Refer to Maintenance
.
• Periodically test the sensor’s response to gas by exposing the detector to a targeted gas concentration that exceeds
the high alarm setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
• Calibrate the detector before first-time use, and then at least once every 180 days. For HCN detectors, calibrate once
every 90 days.
• Use only the Energizer 1CR2 battery. Refer to Replacing the Battery or Sensor
.
• To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in a safe area free of hazard-
ous gas.
• Do not place the detector near the mouth or shoulders.
