Sensors
The detector is supplied with a replaceable cartridge containing up to six gas sensors for
detecting oxygen enrichment and deficiency; flammable gases up to the Lower Explosive Limit
(LEL); and toxic gases.
Detectors that are configured for fewer than 6 gases may contain dummy sensors in one or more
sensor positions.
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, use only sensors that are specifically
designed for the detector.
Replace the sensors in a non-hazardous area.
Each sensor has a high degree of resistance to common vapors and gases. To stablize a
sensor, move the detector to a normal environment that is free of hazardous gases, and
wait 10 to 30 minutes.
Prevent accidental poisoning of sensors. For more information, see Sensor Poisons and
Contaminants.
Use caution when removing sensors from the sensor cartridge. Do not twist or force the
sensor.
Before you begin
1) Move to an area that is known to be non-hazardous.
2) Have ready the screwdriver with double-ended bit (Phillips and hex) provided.
