be charged with the UL/CSA-approved charger, which is Biosystems part number
54-49-103-1. European versions of the MultiPro must be charged with the ATEX-
approved charger, which is Biosystems part number 54-49-103-5.
7.
The MultiPro must be located in a non-hazardous location
during the charging cycle. Charging the MultiPro in a hazardous location may
impair intrinsic safety.
8.
MultiPro rechargeable battery packs are supplied with
Panasonic CGA103450 Lithium-Ion batteries. These batteries are not replaceable by
the user. The rechargeable pack must be obtained from Biosystems and replaced as
an assembly.
9.
The accuracy of the MultiPro should be checked periodically
with known concentration calibration gas. Failure to check accuracy can lead to
inaccurate and potentially dangerous readings. (The Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) requires an accuracy check using known concentration
calibration gas prior to each day’s use.)
10.
Fresh air/zero calibrations may only be performed in an
atmosphere that is known to contain 20.9% oxygen, 0.0% LEL and 0 PPM toxic gas.
11.
The accuracy of the MultiPro should be checked immediately
following any known exposure to contaminants by testing with known concentration
test gas before further use. Failure to check accuracy can lead to inaccurate and
potentially dangerous readings.
12.
A sensor that cannot be calibrated or is found to be out of
tolerance should be replaced immediately. An instrument that fails calibration may
not be used until testing with known concentration test gas determines that
accuracy has been restored, and the instrument is once again fit for use.
13.
Do not reset the calibration gas concentration unless you are
using a calibration gas concentration that differs from the one that is normally
supplied by Biosystems for use in calibrating the MultiPro.
Customers are strongly urged to use only Biosystems calibration materials when
calibrating the MultiPro. Use of non-standard calibration gas and/or calibration kit
components can lead to dangerously inaccurate readings and may void the standard
Biosystems warranty.
14.
Use of non-standard calibration gas and/or calibration kit
components when calibrating the MultiPro can lead to inaccurate and potentially
dangerous readings and may void the standard Biosystems warranty.
Biosystems offers calibration kits and long-lasting cylinders of test gas
specifically developed for easy MultiPro calibration. Customers are strongly
urged to use only Biosystems calibration materials when calibrating the
MultiPro.
15.
Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
16.
For safety reasons this equipment must be operated and
serviced by qualified personnel only. Read and understand this reference manual
before operating or servicing the MultiPro.
17.
A rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic
reading may indicate a hazardous combustible gas concentration that exceeds the
MultiPro’s zero to 100 percent LEL detection range.
18.
The MultiPro is not designed for use in oxygen enriched
atmospheres.
19.
Do not use the MultiPro pump for prolonged periods in an
atmosphere containing a concentration of solvent or fuel that may be greater than 10%
LEL.
