Observe Proper Battery Maintenance; Be Aware Of Environmental Conditions; Be Aware Of The Procedures For Handling Electrostatically Sensitive Electronics; Be Aware Of The Product Regulations - MSA ALTAIR 4X Manual De Funcionamiento

• Do not use the ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector to test for combustible
gases in atmospheres containing vapors from liquids with a high
flash point (above 38°C, 100°F) as this may result in erroneously
low readings.
• Do not block sensor openings as this may cause inaccurate
readings. Do not press on the face of the sensors, as this may
damage them and cause erroneous readings. Do not use
compressed air to clean the sensor holes, as the pressure may
damage the sensors.
• Allow sufficient time for unit to display accurate reading. Response
times vary based on the type of sensor being utilized (see Section
5.4, "Performance Specifications").
• All instrument readings and information must be interpreted by
someone trained and qualified in interpreting instrument readings
in relation to the specific environment, industrial practice and
exposure limitations.
Risk of explosion: Do not recharge instrument in hazardous area.

Observe proper battery maintenance

Use only battery chargers made available by MSA for use with this
instrument; other chargers may damage the battery pack and the unit.
Dispose of in accordance with local health and safety regulations. Use
of the GALAXY Automated Test System is an alternate approved
method for charging ALTAIR 4X instruments

Be aware of environmental conditions

A number of environmental factors may affect the sensor readings,
including changes in pressure, humidity and temperature.
Pressure and humidity changes also affect the amount of oxygen
actually present in the atmosphere.
Be aware of the procedures for handling electrostatically sensitive
electronics
The instrument contains electrostatically sensitive components. Do not
open or repair the unit without using appropriate electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection. The warranty does not cover damage caused by
electrostatic discharges.

Be aware of the product regulations

Follow all relevant national regulations applicable in the country of use.
