• Check calibration before each day's use and adjust if
necessary.
• Check calibration more frequently if exposed to silicone,
silicates, lead-containing compounds, hydrogen sulfide, or
high contaminant levels.
• Recheck calibration if unit is subjected to physical shock.
• Check pump for proper operation before each days use.
• Use only to detect gases/vapors for which a sensor is
installed.
