(*) = (Ideal conditions) When the detector is exposed to cleaning agents, silicons and generally
in commercial and light industrial environments, it is recommended to be calibrated every year
and its sensor to be replaced every 3 years!
ATTENTION!! DO NOT USE LIQUID GAS (i.e. lighter gas) FOR SENSOR TESTING BECAUSE IT
CAUSES PERMANENT DAMAGE. Use calibration gas up to 50% L.E.L. for this purpose.
(**) = does not cover the gas sensor, if it is exposed to Si, H2S, Pb & halogenated hydrocarbon.
