1.1 Warnings and Cautions
The TARGET Series gas detectors are designed to detect hazardous atmospheric conditions. An indication of life threatening hazards should be taken very seriously. NEVER ignore an alarm condition.
WARNINGS:
•Any rapid upscale combustible gas reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond the
•
•Electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals may cause incorrect operation.
•CSA requirement: Before each day’s usage, instrument sensitivity must be tested on a known concentration of methane between
•Oxygen deficient conditions can cause lower combustible gas readings than actual concentrations.
•Oxygen enriched conditions can cause higher combustible gas readings than actual concentrations.
•The instrument batteries should only be charged in a
•The instrument should only be connected to a computer in a
CAUTIONS:
•In case of an atmospheric alarm condition, follow your organization’s established procedures for such a situation. Evacuating the affected area is usually the first course of action, followed by ventilation and
•Silicone compound vapors may adversely affect the TARGET instrument’s standard combustible sensor causing lower readings than actual concentrations. If the instrument has been exposed to silicone vapors it is strongly recommended that the instrument be recalibrated prior to its next use. Repeated exposure to silicone compounds will prematurely destroy the standard combustible sensor.
NOTE: The optional MOS combustible sensor is much less susceptible to silicone poisoning, but instrument calibration should take place on a more frequent schedule.
•The sensor sampling area must be kept clean. Contamination of this area can prevent proper operation of the sensors.
Any sensor that fails calibration procedures should be replaced and recalibrated immediately.
The combustible portion of this instrument has been assessed by CSA for performance. Users may refer to ANSI/ISA RP12.13 or an equivalent international recommended practice for guidance in the use of combustible gas detection equipment.
TARGETinstruments with a CSA logo on the serial number label are approved for Intrinsic Safety when used in Class 1, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D Hazardous Location environments.
NOTE: Any specifications stated in this manual may change without notice.
1.2 Unpack
Unpack the TARGET Series instrument and examine it for shipping damage. If such damage is observed, notify both ENMET customer service personnel and the commercial carrier involved immediately.
Regarding Damaged Shipments
NOTE: It is your responsibility to follow these instructions. If they are not followed, the carrier will not honor any claims for damage.
This shipment was carefully inspected, verified and properly packaged at our company and delivered to the carrier in good condition.
When it was picked up by the carrier at ENMET, it legally became your company’s property.
If your shipment arrives damaged:
•Keep the items, packing material, and carton “As Is .” Within 5 days of receipt, notify the carrier’s local office and request immediate inspection of the carton and the contents.
•After the inspection and after you have received written acknowledgment of the damage from the carrier, contact ENMET Customer Service for return authorization and further instructions. Have your Purchase Order and Sales Order numbers available.
